24NOV saw small buck chasing doe-too small to take.

Grazed young Coyote

Took shot at the same small young Coyote from a few days ago about 135 yrds.
She went down then started fighting herself.
I just got another round chambered when she just stood still weirdly.
As I was about to left fly another round,she trotted with a slight limp,another 10yrds then under my fence and disappeared.
I waited about 40 mins hoping her mate would show but didn't(I think he's the one my male Elkhound got into a serious dog fight with the night before-poor Moose had 1 puncture on each hind muscle and was so tired he couldn't curl his tail-I think now the Coyote was taking a day off too).

Later got my dogs and hunted for a blood trail but none found.......DANG...can't believe I've missed 3X's now.
Need to check my sight.

Coyotes,Bobcat,bear(?) returns near chicken house every 15-30 mins with my dogs running it off,last 2 nights.

Sunday morning saw 4 does,small 6ptr&4ptr.All separate.
All acting scared so thinking a bobcat(s) scouting aound.

~Years ago ,me and another saw a Cougar while on horses at/near the Chestatte WMA.-Totally freaked out the horses~

 

[Dusty Roads]

No bucks -just a few does-non keepers-small

What more can I say-pitiful season.
Not seen any squirrels the last 2 weeks-absolutely NONE!

Coyotes/Cat got the der moving?

Past week/present seeing unusual amount of deer movement all times of day.
Suspect lots of Coyote pressure or a cat present.
Neighbor reports goats on edge too.
Heading out early next couple mornings to check & replace all trail cams to see whats up.
