Full moon last night, bright enough to read outside by moon light. Today I went out late as they are re-stuccoing my house and I needed to stay until they showed up to unlock gates. I did two stands, killed one and missed one. I did a little scouting on the bike and had one cross the road so I tried a marginal stand to try for him, no luck but by then the wind was pushing 20mph. I would love to have days like this all the time. Now I just need to be patient, the first one I tried to thread one through the brush, that rarely works for me. Second one came in and looked right at me and I just froze, finally the caller and decoy were just too enticing and he headed on in and didn't make it.
Moon Shmoon just get out there you never know how the day will turn out.
yeah i really wish we could night hunt up here in canada but even the suggestion of the idea puts people into fits about how devastating it would be to everything from farmers cows to people.
i hear ya about just getting out there anyways. its not going to stop me from heading out but its nice to have even a half explanation as to why im not getting response when i know there is dogs there.
Don't let it get too deep in your head. The might not show for a thousand reasons. Call, volume, weather, moon, day of the week, union coyotes, differing political views....don't try to pin it on one thing.
I have a 3 strikes rule. 3 stands the same way. No takers, change ONE thing and go for 3 more. Makes it easier to spot their pattern.
