Patience Pays Off

Added On January 25, 2008 00:00

The morning started out very cold, about 20 degrees below zero. Now many would skip this as a "not so good hunting day" but I say any day you can get out of bed and hunt is a good day! I live in central North Dakota and when some one tells you about the end of the earth, I know where that is, just over the next hill around here. I set up 3 times and drove over 50 miles today look for that one "smart" coyote. I set up at the end of a tree row over looking some pasture and brush. I did a few barks and a rabbit distress and not much was happening. I was enjoying the end of the day but did not have much luck when I decided to try a higher pitch, like a female dog. Well what do you know, in the distance I here a dog bark back, it sounded like it was a good mile away. I kept barking and he would bark back only he sounded closer and closer. As you can imagine I was getting pretty excited. It was like watching one of the videos on coyote hunting, they bark and then you hear one bark back. Well, just like in the video all of a sudden this coyote breaks over the hill following the fence line at a nice steady pace right to me! What a beautiful dog, brig and gray with a sight read tint to his fur coming right at me. He followed the fence line right in front of me until he was about 25 yards away and POW! The bullet hits the barbed wire and missed the dog completely! I can believe it! Well as in all cases the dog has his after burners on but I remember a little of "Randy Anderson's Video" and I bark and the dog stops dead in his tracks and looks back at me, I did that four time and he gave me four shots and I'm proud to say that I missed all four times but not on purpose! I guess the point is that I had a great day, one that will pay in my mind over and over again just like the videos. Spend some time watching your favorite video but spend more time making your own and playing them over and over again. Besides each time you tell the story, it just keeps getting better and better!
