Busted !!!
Well I went out yesterday afternoon and had made three stands with no luck. It was getting late and I shuffled off the edge down a canyon a ways I set the speaker up and trailed the cable back to where I would set the old JS tape player up. I settled in for what I knew would be my last stand of the day as the sun had already ducked behind the mountains and the temp was dropping fast. I hit the button on the player and out of the speaker wafted the agonizing moans and squeals of the a cotten tail rabbit in its last moments of life. The tape had been running for about 15 minutes or so when out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw movement. I slowly turned my focus to that location but saw nothing I let the tape contunue for another 5 minutes with nothing the light was very poor and I decided to call it a day. I punched the stop on the player and took one last look around. Satified there was nothing I began to rise up when I heard the Wuff of a coyote and saw what I thought I has seen earlier in the stand. Yes, I was busted the old dog was alittle more patient than I was and this what makes predator hunting so enticing to those of us who do it. Well I'm head out again in about an hour or so maybe I'll get to fire a shot maybe not either way it will be enjoyable to me. I'll let you all know how it went.
