I've been going to LBL with a group of folks from another forum for several years now. It's a great time of hunting and meeting folks you've talked to on the net... nice to put faces with names.... Well sometimes it is!
I think it was Friday I went with another guy from that board.. I'm not much for counting stands but we'd hunted pretty hard. We were on the top of a gully, and I was calling down into it with one of my open reed calls. About 3 min's into the stand I saw one coming in, very red in color actually blended in with the leaves pretty good. He stopped with some trees between us... I wondered why my buddy didn't shoot (the yote was coming from his side of the gully) but there was a rise that was blocking his view. I moved my gun and lip squeaked... he trotted up and stopped again. I shot him with my 22-250.... I won't show the entry side... pretty gruesome... let's just say the 22-250 plays rough on the fur. He was a good sized male... (wish I had a scale) The yote did run off... I asked Glen to keep an eye on the spot while I walked over to spot the blood trail.... when he told me stop there was about a 2 foot wide blood trail I could track from about 40 yards off... he'd gone over a rise and rolled up.
