Windy Day Double

Post by Adrian J Hare »

Not both at the sametime. Found this morning interesting as the mating season seems to be well underway but I guess these two dogs were out looking for that perfect mate. I took yote one on a set close to a new woods keeping down wind and it was windy as I howled to start at first light and then 2 minutes did a jack rabbit DST on very high volume as the wind and the woods being a dence cedar swamp I thought volume was needed to start.

6 minutes into the call out comes the one dog about 200 yards and trots out into the open enough for a shot but was unsure where the sound had came from. I shot once holding right on him and it was a missed. THE WIND came to mind and I held "Guessing" one foot into the wind and squeezed and down into a spin and to a stop he went. Tried for a while longer and no others.

I got ready to take pics and I forgot the Darn camera at the truck :mad:

so I dragged him out and got underway to the next spot another new place and the farmer told me he had been seeing them and hearing them in this location. A swamp with red gads and swamp trees and as I take the snow shoes and get them on I look up and see a yote digging about 200 yards out. The wind is covering my noise and movement so I work my way to a low pine and get set and I start to call with a hand call and he dont hear me so I turn on the fox pro and put on the Lil Pig and hit the 40 and he looks up and starts running right at me. I have the gun on the biopod pointed right at him and at 60 yards he stops looking at me and Lights out !

A double dog today after 3 days of wet sloppy snow :tiphat:

Never had a new contest photo here so I printed March of the shockwave one. Hope thats ok ;)

Very cool!
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

Excellent Adrian. I haven't been to the Foxpro site in a few days but you must be out in front in the contest now. :)
