I stepped out of the truck to put on my final layer of wool pants.. Pull them over my boots only to realize that I stepped in the biggest pile of coyote poop.It is now all over my boots, pants, hands, and vest.. I had to strip down and put on my early season camo and light boots that are still in the truck. It is 29 degrees out. I figured I wouldn't make it long without warm clothes.. And it turned out I didn't need to.I Had a doe come in at first light and she is down in sight. What a funny turn of events.... I still smell terrible!!

It was a beautiful morning otherwise. The shot was about 12 yards. My arrow entered the shoulder but under the scapula, and exited low and tight to the shoulder on the far side.

I was shooting my Zipper SXT #52@29 with 190gr Grizzly Instincts
cover scent! Congrats
Sounds like you're gonna have to get a little dirtier, congrats and enjoy the smell of great morning.
:biglaugh: :laughing: Sorry, Tyler but that is hilarious!!! Congrats on the doe. You are really on a roll this year. I"ll be looking forward to the pictures.

Luckily it wasn't another bow hunter that left you that gift. Congratulations on the doe.
Lol
Maybe it brought good luck to you...... :biglaugh: If she's down in sight it must have been a great shot......well done!
That is a great hunting story. Congrats on the doe.
A stinky success is better than a sweet smelling failure. Congrats!
:archer:
Aw crap !

Good cover scent!!!!!
Congrats on the doe.

Congrats!! :thumbsup:
Some of the more fanatical among us use cow piles the same way intentionally. Which raises the question is a predator's poop less effective as a cover than "Ol' Bossie's"? That debate will occupy those of us under "house arrest" today...but I'd suggest removing those boots at the door!
P.S. the used tampon thing will work, but don't even think about going there...don't ask how I know!
Better coyote poop than your own! !!!!
I've had friends make a deposit and fall in it......
$#it happens!
Congratulations on the doe!
God bless

DANG!!! James beat me to it... :readit:
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! :clapper:
Sometimes people just step in $hi+... and come out smelling like a Rose!!!
Congrats on the doe and thanks for the great story. I'm happy for you but I'm not going to try to replicate your new cover scent experiment. :confused:
Thanks for the story!!! I have been laughing hard about this one.
Probably the best story I've heard yet!!!
Well, congratulations(?!) Way to work around adversity and make it happen in spite of it all.
My only advice for next time... watch your step!!! :rolleyes:
Thanks for the comments.. Not a pleasant surprise in the dark. It may be my own fault as I left my last deer carcass on the overgrown logging road where I park since the coyotes run it nightly... So they were just thanking me I guess.
Coyote poop is a good thing. Good shooting and a nice deer.
Nice looking doe.
Dunker says that only because he has single-handedly placed them on the "endangered species list" out there in Cali., lol!
Congrats!
Congrats!! You are knocking them down. Way to be prepared with a second set of clothes. I would have been s**t out luck, or hunting clothes.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :archer:
Congratulations! Glad it worked out for ya. On top of that that was a long shot being itwas 12 years away! :dunno:
Hahaha coyote crap is the worst! Great job getting it done.
If you think this works let me know. Ill look for some to step it.
Congrats on your Deer!
