Got three song dogs on saturday and should have had two more yesterday but they got the jump on us.
Saturdays came with the first one at about 10 a.m. We were headed out to ice fish a lake close to camp.I had the 243 up front,just had a feeling ;D.Get about 7 miles from camp and I see a yote cross the road about a quarter mile from us.figured we won't see him by the time we get up there.The dumb ass was mousing in a clear cut when we drove up and I whacked him at 20 yards.Threw him in the truck and headed off.
We fished for a couple hours with nothing to show for it and decided to hit another lake twenty miles away.We fish that lake,that's a scarey story I'll tell later in another thread
.
We dicide we've had enough excitement for the day and said lets boot it back to camp and drink beer and see what comes up for fun.A half mile from the lake I see a yote standing on a service road going to an oil battery.I jump out of the truck and walk back to see if it stayed there,yup he did.He saw me made two jumps and stopped in the edge of the bush.I hammered him at a 150 yards free hand shot.The second dog I didn't know was there ran across the road and stopped by the first one,hammered her right next to her mate ;D.
Coming home from camp yesterday there's one mousing in a stubble field about 60 yards off the road.I wasn't thinking and had the 243 behind the seat.It gave me time to get it out and load before I lost my chance for a shot.There was a second one in the draw I didn't see and it booked it as soon as I crossed the fence and didn't give me a shot.
