Nice color phase Charlie!! They amaze me how they know every terrace and low spot and use it to their advantage. I never get tired of working a dawg and watching him do his thing.

The Predator Outlaws hit some new dirt last night in a field behind a kennel. It was noisy but the X24 playing some Mfk Bump n’ Grind was too much for this color phase female to handle. She came to check it out and we hammered her hard. Later went to another property. Had a pair open up 200 yards away but across the road. We moved closer to the road and played a series of aggressive howls and had a pair cross the road and were in our laps. They made us in the moonlight and then made us look like rookies with a busted set. I lost sleep over it last night. Finally went across that same road to a hayfield back in the woods and got on some hogs. We are under orders from the landowner to shoot them on sight so we opened up on them and put some big boys down next to the woods. This shoat ran to us and died tired. We always have people asking us to kill them a hog and they will come get it. We loaded this shoat up and gave them a call but they had excuses. Go figure.

50 mph. Coyote ran right into the front end of my truck. Not as much fun as shooting one.That’s cheating

The Predator Outlaws got out for a couple of sets before the wind got up. Right out of the gate less than two minutes in we had this big male come into Nutty Nuthatch and we gave him a ride in the truck. Later had a big boar in some thick brush but a little MFK Pig Slop brought him out into the clear and we triple tagged him for the win.

Dead is dead. Maybe you should use that truck on some hogs?50 mph. Coyote ran right into the front end of my truck. Not as much fun as shooting one.

The dark color phase looks a lot like a Bartrem’s wolf. Y’all think some interbreeding going on?

Eased into a place I hunt near the house, 3 different pieces of property that touch each other one has clean pastures and some woods one has some row crops and green houses, and the other is overgrown brush piles and briers etc. Seems LaTrans has been eating one of the ladys cats from time to time, and she wants him gone, they had a picture of a big black yote on a trail cam. Looks like the black yote is still out there but his Buddie bit the dust

I did not really notice his color in the dark, once I got to looking at him in the light I noticed he had a pink nose and a more blond of reddish color. I have never seen a yote with a pink nose

Worked on the farm a little bit yesterday afternoon and decide to hunt a set right at dark. Heard 2 groups howling while it was light and I was walking in. Seen a fair number of tracks on the road and some scat but no takers.

Had a pack open up on the first stand that were just over the hill probably no more than 300-400 yards. It sounded like at least 3 or 4 because you could tell they were not all bunched up together.
I thought this is going to happen quick but they never came…..maybe all the fireworks people started shooting right after dark had them spooked.
I almost didn’t stop at the second farm because there’s subdivisions all around it and they were blasting away too. But as soon as I howled a pack opened up across the road but they were a good ways off.
I was going to call it a night after about 20 minutes when I saw two running straight for me…..by the time I found the mute button and got on the gun they were running away.
I’ve only ever hit one running but I had a good angle and shot the rear one. He made it across the creek and went down in a thin patch of timber in the pasture. I could see him laying there kicking and thought he was done for. I was wrong.
Had a lot of blood on the ground but he went between to very big old log piles and I lost the blood. I’m sure he’s in there somewhere but I couldn’t find him. Even though I didn’t have a great shot I suppose I should have shot him again when he was on the ground doing all the kicking. Lesson learned.
Ended up with 31 confirmed this year. I’ve shot several that ran off and missed several…..probably should have got 50 this year.
Sorry for the long post but it’s the last of the year.
Happy New Year everyone !
I’m sure Charlie will start a 2024 thread.
