I've been fortunate to have been given free unrestricted access to a very large ranch down here in central Florida. Excellent deer, pigs, turkey, and coyote... the coyote have to go. Saw several yesterday and figured out a good place to set up for today. I have the entire 3500 acre ranch to myself... I'm very fortunate and thankful.

Used the FoxPro (baby rabbit distress) and a remote control decoy... I shit you not, I was in the stand less than a minute when three came running in. This young male came within 35 yards and was about to pounce on the decoy when I shot him... 6.8 SPC suppressed with Hornady 120gr SST bullets.

Afterwards I went and got in one of the stands I set up for this year and a nice big bodied 8-pt came in to the feeder just before dark, wish I took my bow, thought about it, but I'm gonna wait on BP to start hunting the stands. I've never had big bucks come to a feeder like this outside of the rut... but then again, this place is not hunted much at all and I have it all to myself this year...

Almost ran one (dead) over this morning. I'm guessing chasing moving cars is worse than chasing parked cars?

Paved 4 lane on a busy road....

They are everywhere... I've killed then behind my house and see them all the time in the neighborhoods and on the golf courses at night... it's nothing to have one run across a Wal-Mart parking lot...

I'm helping a guy fix up a 1953 3200' house on the beach. He was just telling me about having panthers around in the early 60's. Wow.

Well done and I am a little

There mustn't be no one else hunting them?

I used to hunt them a lot in AZ....the ones that come running in are young and dumb.    The tier 1 yotes would be patient, and even circle the source of the call from afar to try and pick up a scent [of danger].
