Got set up in the tangles of a large old mesquite tree over looking a small opening in a pasture this drizzling morning. Spent more time setting up my decoy and brushing myself in than I did calling, as after about 30 seconds of screaming on the turkey call a pair came in hot at my 11 o'clock. They split and veered to corner the decoy, and having my rifle up on the shooting sticks I went ahead and took the one in front of me. By the time I racked the bolt, swung to my hard left, and made a loud coyote distress yip, the larger male gave me a milisecond look before merging into the tree line but no shot presented itself. Should have had a double, but better than a goose egg. Went to two other places after that - one there was a coyote on a carcass as soon as I pulled up which messed up a chance for calling and at the second spot it begun to dump buckets of water out of the sky. Still have a few days off before I head back to Tyler, hopefully can post some more success pics.

C'mon now, even Helen Keller could shoot a plastic rabbit, but good job on the coyote though.
