Last morning of deer season I decided to do some slip hunting through my favorite stand of pines that we are likely to clearcut in a few weeks. Seems like someone else had the same idea.
I was just hoping to catch a deer in my honey hole and supplement my freezer. I eased around a corner to check a long 5th row, and this young lady came into the lane at the wrong time. Sun was in my eyes, and I wanted to make absolutely sure she wasn't a dog. Scoped her and the movement made her take off running. I will chalk the 85 yard running shot up to luck, because I haven't practiced anything like that before. First brushwolf I have ever killed while deer hunting. only the 3rd I have seen in person on our land, but we hear large packs almost every evening or night. Decent way to end deer season...got my predator hunting juices flowing now. I believe I will take every chance I get between now and the clearcutting to enjoy some coyote hunts in my favorite stand of trees.
Her back foot was slightly injured somehow. I am wondering if it could be a rear leg toe catch that she pulled out of. What say some of you seasoned trappers?
