Cold night in south Georgia. First set started on fire. Two minutes in had a pair break cover out of a grown up cornfield responding to some foxpro eastern cottontail. Mark took this young female and the other retreated back into the growth. A little Boss pup panic brought the mate back out but way away from us. I tried a long shot on it but missed. Later we had a pair challenge us repeatedly on another set but they just wouldn't stick their heads out so we could see them. Instead they just challenge bark and warn barked at us over and over. Last set as we were setting up a pair came up over a terrace in a pasture in a direction we weren't expecting dawgs to be. As it was downwind of us they smelled us as I could see them throwing their heads up sniffing in my thermal. They retreated back behind the terrace and insulted us with warning barks and howls. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. We were a little of both last night.

The Predator Outlaws met their goal last night. Back in January we set a goal of 50 dawgs and last night we dropped number 50. It came on the last set and there was a house in the edge of the field we set up in that had a very loud party going by a bonfire outside. We called it anyway and less than a minute of eastern cottontail playing, a pair popped up over a terrace and we took this female. Mark actually took it with a 257 yard running headshot after I made a less than spectacular shot and hit her too far back. It has been a great year for us.

First set was on the side of a hard wood ridge looking down into a swamp bottom, I've been hearing them there. We finally got a response but the dogs were on the other side of the river. second set was in a pasture we have had luck in before. A couple of howls produced no response pup in distress caused a yote to run by my buddie and just about knock me down. I missed a sure enough running shot, rifle jammed, and spent some time on my gun. soon as I got back in the game I looked behind me and there stood #2 I drilled it and put it in the death flop. It got up and made it to the briars never to be seen again. I don't count them unless I have a body, and I'm always amazed how far they can run after a hole is punched right through them

Very dead night for the Predator Outlaws. Didn’t even hear a dawg till after 10:00pm with one set to go. Called up a pair of fox on the last set but they got a pass. Goodluck to everyone in 2020. A lot of dawgs need to hit the ground. Their numbers are increasing.

Dead night in Douglas county, we thought with the coming rain it would be a good night, we were wrong. Made two stands on a powerline and had one respond across a river on someone else's land so couldn't pursue. Nothing else seen nor heard.
