Got out at first light. Well sort of . Get in the almonds about 8:00. Sneek in the ditch ,and start off with some rabbit stuff. Nothing do some rat screams and get that feeling look behind me and theres two giving me the stare down at 40 yards.Make eye contack and they warp out of there.Nothing on number two. Third stand young peaches. Get to the down wind side of the orchard. Set the rat out about 20 yards in front of me. Do some rabbit stuff for maybe five minutes and my call stops working. While Im taking it aprt to clean it A big one blows past me and heads to the decoy. He grabs it and he's running off with it !. He's running with it and dragging the stake with it, looks like he was trying to out run the stake that was chassing him. He drops after 60 yards or so.
Nothing on the next two stands. Set up buy some persemons and pomagranet trees. Peeker miss one about two weeks ago here. With a rifle! . Started with the rabbit stuff. right away one comes in right in front of me, never slowed down and never was close for a shot. Was sneeking into some adult peaches and I see movement out about 70 yards. Get down and take a good look. another one taking a nap. He's in the center.

Start to draw and it looks up at me. We sit there staring at each other for what seems like days. It then gets up and walks away. Gets out to maybe fivety yards sits and scratces. Game on. Did some sqeeks . it turns and looks my way.
He gets in the next row and stands there. two more sqeeks and he's walking back. Gets to fiveteen yards and starts scratching again,tilts his head twords the side he's scratching. The arrow is on its way. His backend goes down and he falls over backwards gets up and tries to run but it looks like he's tangled up with the arrow. Drops for good. Another big old male. First one with this short bow. Been playing with it I can shoot this thing while sitting up aganst a tree. Think i found a good calling stick

You still da Man. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Thats awesome, congrats! Your area seems to be stocked with yotes
Good going Tim!
What kind of open reed is that ??
And what are you using for a squeaker ?
Wow!! That looks like fun.
Maybe someone else has already called you this...the coyote whisperer comes to mind! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Nice. :thumbsup: :archer2:
You defimitely have the touch. Would hate to be a coyote in your neck of the woods. I guess you are the apex predator around those parts!
I have not heard from you in a while, figured you killed em all.
Good shooting!
Outstanding...again. You are tough on the yotes.RC
