Todays Hunt
Have only had the chance to be out in my stands 4 times so far this season for a couple hours at a time. Headed out this am and dozed off in my stand and woke up around 7:45am to a nice sized fawn near my stand. Passed on shooting it and just enjoyed watching it graze in the corn stubble. A few minutes pass as I watch the fawn and suddenly mommy shows up. She is a very good size doe but out about 35 yards ( that is right at my self imposed limit ) quartering towards me a bit as well. Ah heck its early yet so I let them graze and they slowly move up the head land of the field feeding as they go along.
I am enjoying the peace and quiet of sitting on stand when a bit of movement to my left catches my eye. What the heck ??! A coyote, and its heading right for a small game trail along the fence line. Make a quick squirrel sound , no notice. 3 more feet and its going to be gone in the fence row. I whistle . The coyote stops and quarters toward me , 20 yards . Whack , the coyote drops in it tracks. Howls a little bit then then bites at my arrow stuck in the ground next to it. It ruined the 2216 but the 100 grain Rocket Sidewinder really hung a a number on that coyote.
Forgot my camera at home. I would have loved to get a shot( picture ) of the coyote from my stand. Here is a picture of Her .

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.

If i'm not hunting i'm fishing, and if i'm not fishing i'm wishing.
