I’ve seen plenty. Just not this morning. I’ve seen 10+ on five different sits. Just like usual, shooters only once or twice a year.I’ve noticed from your post this year that you’re hunting several times but not seeing much. Years past I recall you seeing several. You not hunting same place as in past or are numbers down in your area?
good unI got into my stand in the pitch black.
Saw one doe way off. Then had 14 doe in a parade come 30 yards from the stand. They were looking behind them and acting crazy. I knew it wasn’t me, perfect wind….. finally a little fawn came busting into the field with a coyote hot on her trail, he caught acute lead poisoning. I let him lay.
The hunter became the hunted. Scaredest I’ve ever been in my life. View attachment 107239
30 minutes later had a decent 10 point come in slow at 25yds. I did some quick math and gauged it at a high 130” and put a bead on his shoulder for practice and let him walk.
Then the doe came back. Avoided the coyote. After an hour with no further sightings I grabbed the coyote and am heading to lunch and moving spots. “I was packed for all day sit but that spot smells like coyote guts”.
