Ok sit down, grab a cold 1. Heres the story of the week. Me and the boy decided to go out Tuesday night bout 6p. I bought him a new dbal and helmet for Christmas, and at 13, kinda hard hiding things like this cause I'm more excited than he is, I sneak everything out of the packages earlier in the day so mommy doesn't know. I sight the new dbal in and it's lookin good. I have everything stashed in the shop so all we have to do is slip in get our equipment and leave. He .asks dad, where we goin, I said the honey hole,his eyes just sparkled with excitement. I said get your pvs focused in and get it on your helmet and he did. I shot 5 of my 20 dawgs on this farm last yr, it's loaded. Been there back in early oct and banged 1, so I knew it was ready again.
We get out of the truck and man the wind has picked up, thought I dont have enuff clothes on, but I'm gonna tuff it out. We finish our lil hike of bout half mile back in, easy walking but it's a half mile or so. Get set up in a cross wind, those lil critters are gonna come bout 25-30 yards in on the cross wind right to out lap. I'm sittin and i see the boy sweeping his laser and IR back and forth looking for eyes cause it dark, all of a sudden this mini blizzard sets in it's a white out thru the pvs14's and here come 2 dawgs flying in. The first 1 honestly all I can see is his ears bobbin in cause he's so light colored blending right in with the snow. second 1 was pretty dark and could some what see him, but it's snowing hard, I'm whispering pretty hard 2 o'clock....2 o'clock. His laser is on the darker 1, but I'm thinking SHOOT.....no shot, by this time the wind has changed blowing right towards the yotes and they are leaving town. I'm throwing brass but no luck. We get back to the truck I'm kickin around like a lil 1st grader, why didn't you shoot son? He said dad I didn't wanna make you made but I wasn't focused in. Well when he put his pvs on his helmet, I didn't take the pinky focus ring off, so the j arm hit the ring knocked it out of focus, causing it to bottom out... Thought crap.. My fault cause I didn't remove it. Went back to the shop removed the focus ring. Back in business. Left out for # 2 stand, bout a mile down the rd. It's flat snowin and wind is bout 25 mph. We get set up, 2 minute mark of lightening jack and volume on 40 cause the wind is howling here comes a yote in cross wind but stops and sits down at bout 275-300 yrd mark. By this time Im thinking what else can go wrong 2night. I turn sideways set my stick up and get ready to shoot....crack...at the same exact time I pull the trigger he stands up and walks forward. He turns and is running back home. Thought there's no way I missed that dawg. We were there for bout 5 more min, nothing, so we packed up. Drove down the lane where the yote was coming from to look for blood. That yote stood up at the exact time I shot, my bullet must had shaved his chest and belly hair for him. No blood in the snow, but a couple nice balls of hair right where his butt prints were in the snow. It was bout 250-260 yrd shot with my dbal d2 laser and pvs14
Just ready for everything to calm down from deer season so I can get to calling. This snow would have been great if it was 2 weeks from now. Hope we get some more!!
