Bryson Bendall Report post Posted December 24, 2011 It was a cold morning, but we had to get out for a little Christmas eve fun! My Dad, brother in law, two little brothers, and I decided to do some calling this morning here in southeast AZ. The wind was howling and it was COLD... at least by arizona standards. We made 4 stands. Called in a single on stand 1 and my brother (15) smoked her at about 40 yards. It was his first so... needless to say there was a little hoopin and hollerin. It was kinda like ... BOOM.. YEAH BABY...WOOOOOOOHHHH. My other brother (12) saw her coming in at about the 10 minute mark. But he never had a shot... she made her way towards us through a little wash and came out. My dad and I were up the hill a bit and never saw her. I looked at him at about the 20 minute mark and asked how long we had been sitting. About 10 seconds later he says COYOTE! I look and she is trotting from our left to right about 40 yards in front of the 15 year old brother. I barked once, she hit the breaks... and the rest was history! I started off with a couple of howls using one of Tony Tebbe's (predator university) old Cedar river Howlers... then did some jack rabbit with one of tony's old mini production cow horn tip calls. I don't really remember the name of it. But it got the job done this morning! Stand two, we called in a double but didn't see them until they were about 15 yards behind us... well we got a couple shots off as they came around the hill behind us ... but no connections. I'll tell you what, there is nothing like taking youngsters out. The 16 year old said as we were walking back from one of the stands, " Well... its over... I'm hooked!!" hahaha From left to right: Brooks 12, brother in law devin, Brady 15, Dad (barry), and my ugly mug! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
