It has been a very busy summer for me with not much time for hunting and fishing. As we roll into fall and winter things will slack off.
I was sitting on the porch this morning at about 0430 and I could hear the song dogs off in the distance. We have had a rabbit boom this year which has led to an uptick in the coyote population.
Soon. Soon I will be on the mountain tops early in the morning doing my best to sound like a dying rabbit being attacked by a magpie. I can already feel the cold air, already feel the frustration of my reed in the caller freezing (stupid below freezing weather), and the joy of getting one of natures wiley creatures within range of the 223.
Sometimes I'll shoot. Sometimes I'll just watch them. It just depends.
Nap during the day and then prepare for the night hunts. It is legal to spotlight and hunt at night for coyotes in Nevada. Then end it all off with an early morning (or late night) breakfast at Topaz lodge.
I look forward to those few hours a day when all is left behind. No work worries, no doom and gloom, nothing. Just me, the outdoors, and my prey.
Hello fall and winter. It is about time you showed up.
If any of you make it down my way there is warm pot of coffee and spare rack always available.
