This morning was my first day to ever deer hunt. Here is my story:
Myself and my "mentor" Brett were out at his hunting place about 5:10 this morning. We cross the gate to the hunting spot and walk about 1/2 mile to the shooting house and by 5:30 we were in the house waiting on daylight. It was a COLD morning my phone said 22*F with zero wind. Daylight comes and about 7:00 am I see a coyote coming across the field. The coyote has no idea we were even there (I guess we did something right) he is trotting across the field and stops at 3:00 to my position I'm guessing about 150-175 yards out.
I ask Brett if I need to shoot him and he said that if it wasn't so early in the morning then I could, but it would ruin our chance for a deer. As much as I wanted to he was right so I lowered my rifle off the coyotes shoulder and clicked back on the saftey. The coyote after a minute just trotted off into the woods never to be seen again. The rush I felt was unbelievable the few moments I had that crosshair trained on the coyote, and I can't wait to shoot a deer.
That coyote was the only thing we saw all morning. This story isn't particularly exciting but for that brief moment it was. Hope ya'll enjoyed it. I sure did living it and I had a great time on my first hunt and I will be trying again in the morning. I can't wait.
