After striking out in Morgan County I decided to stop and hunt a set on the way home in Barrow County. I eased into the field and put the call on a hay bail and noticed some pigs at the end of the field, figured I'd call a little before I worked on the pigs. I started with cottontail distress and say a yote in the next pasture over, there is a draw between the two, like the book says she popped out down wind of the call and was walking into a cross wind trying to catch scent. The only thing she caught was a 60 grain vmax. The pigs flinched a little and settled down pretty quickly. As I was moving a little closer to the pigs the male yote got to barking and raising sand never would come up out of the draw. Hes made with me that's the second girlfriend Hes lost in the last month or so

Yep, but I figure another couple of months and a female invite howl ought to cause him trouble

Two of the three Predator Outlaws got out for a couple of sets tonight. I had a conflict and couldn’t go but Mark and Strick called in a pair and a single and knocked one down that made it to the woods and put this one in the truck. MFK roo vocals were on fire. Another south Georgia dawg down.

The Predator Outlaws went out to a huge clearcut that we have had success at before. We are trying to hunt it as much as we can before the weeds get up. What we didnt know was the landowner had set fires to all the piles in the clearcut. The smoke hung low but the thermals cut through it. The dawgs, however, wanted nothing to do with it. The only thing we got was a double lung full of smoke and sore throats.

Hunted in front of the rain last night, be awhile since I hunted these two tracks just about gonna see LaTrans at least one set if I hunt both these tracts. First set produced nothing, the second set was text book perfect location wind direction the whole deal, this is where it was too easy. La Trans walks out in a wide open pasture just like he is supposed to but I had a hand held thermal in one hand and remote in the other. I rushed the shot thinking he was gonna get to the call before I could turn it off. LA Trans caught me off guard.

Charlie I’ve missed 3 or 4 this year because I rushed my shot. This is my first year hunting coyotes at night and the excitement has gotten to me about every time.

Half the time I forget to hit the record button too…..at least you remembered that.

The Predator Outlaws braved the humidity, light precipitation, and a stiff east wind but we got it done. Called in a triple first set with Nutty Nuthatch but two stayed just in the woods. A female stepped out and she didn’t leave. Three sets later we were at a place known for bobcats. Mark played a few bars on the Crooked Creek Game Calls hand call and that had this bobcat responding in no time.

Slipped out and hunted a pasture and bottom that favors an East Wind. Nothing much moving the yote I heard was a good way off and most likely on the other side of the highway.

Hunted a couple sets on some property that will soon be a subdivision. First set had a yote show up pretty sure it was a miss. I shoot across a draw and have good cross wind on this stand. After watching the video several times, I can see a tree branch get hit and fall out of a tree.

The Predator Outlaws ran four sets and it was a busy night for predators. Saw either dawgs or the bobcat at each set, just didn’t get shots at everything. Did manage to put two in the truck along with a big cat for south Georgia.

Picked up a spot today and gave it a try tonight. I sent my Foxpro Shockwave to MFK and had them put their sounds on and it got home today, so I gave it a try. Killed a really fat male tonight he looks like a young dog no wear on his teeth at all. I saw him while moving to the second set, stopped and set the call on the ground, and put the gun in the tripod played caught cottontail and comes to the edge of the tree line and stopes and sits down. A good portion of the pasture in front of him had 8 to 10 inches of water in it and he was unwilling to get his feet wet.
