Been going coyote hunting with my buddy to try to eradicate a nasty pack of yotes that have been getting local pets and small Livestock and more importantly local deer.
So my buddy and I are hunting back to back.
One watching a field and one watching the woods.
I'm bleeping a wounded "something" call and I hear footsteps getting closer.
Once I hear the stomps I realize it's a deer.
I shine my red light on it and it's a velvet antlered buck with a doe lingering behind.
I turn off the light and let another bleep out....he comes closer, looks and keeps grazing.
I do it again and he comes closer to investigate.
At this point my buddy and I are talking normally while the bucks gets closer and closer until he was 10 feet from me.
I said in a normal voice..."Chief can you believe this deer ain't run off yet."
He says, "Yes I can believe it."
Because it's happened To us several times in different hunt spots.
Finally he mosied off, then blew a few times and trotted off with his doe.
Funny thing is that a half hour prior to that we heard what sounded like 10 coyotes going crazy over something about 1/4 mile away and that's where these deer were headed.
Seems almost every time we coyote hunt the deer come to investigate us.
Love being in the woods at night.
Then I see videos of mountain lions chirping like birds so I'm always wondering what could be watching me.
Oh well if I die at least I'm doing something I love.
