My buddy Frank and I headed out this morning to one of his buddies property to do some calling. After a short 15 min. hike we set up on a little ridge with lots of small drainage's all around us.
On our way we saw LOTS of sign all over the place so we had our hopes up.
I hit the call and in about 10 min. we have a double come in. I did not see them until the male was right on the call. At that point he heads out. I hit the pup in distress and it turns around about 125 yrds. across a drainage from me....I settle the cross hairs on him and...BOOM!......DOG DOWN. We never got a shot at the 2nd one. Look at the chompers on that dog...healthy younger one.
So them we head down the road a ways to a small section of BLM land that no one seems to know about. We make one stand and nodda.
We set up a 2nd stand and in about 5 min. we have this older female show up. Frank makes a good chest shot at 80-100 yrds....BOOM...another dog DOWN! Look out....Frank and his Tikka is dangerous!!
Overall a great 3 hour hunt with 3 dogs called and two dead.
Take care,Stan
