Pretty Decent Morning - 12/18/14
Had some weather in here the last couple of days and knew it would be nice this morning. Went calling.
Snuck into the first stand, set up the call and waited. After the first series of rabbit, I caught this guy running into the call. Got on the rifle as he was running in and while swinging with him I barked to stop him. He did and my rifle barked too.
The 105 A-Max caused a little issue on his rotator cuff
Made my way to a great place where I made my second stand. Call ran it's sequence and nothing came in. I picked up and started back to the truck. Caught a glimpse of a dog heading from the bottom up to where I was set up at about 400 yards. I had my diaphragm call still in my mouth so I gave him a little Hurt Pup to stop him. He was at 250 lasered yards. I dropped my gear and got on the sticks and he kept heading up the draw. More Hurt Pup stopped him to where he was looking my way. Got a nice steady seated sticks rest and held a little over him and touched it off. Didn't hear a popping bag sound but more like a smacking crack. Didn't see him in the scope anymore.
He had a 105 grain Facial that removed his lowers and whatever was left of the bullet exited the back of his neck. Terminal Dog Jaw.
It was a beautiful morning here.
