Went on a rabbit hunt today and just for the heck of it i grabbed some buckshot and my little critter call to take with me. Got done rabbit hunting and was heading back to my truck when i found some big cotton woods to stand next too and call. Loaded the 3 buck in the benelli and started a calling sequence and right away i see a yote heading from the railroad tracks to a lttle woods i was calling too about three to four hundred yards away. I was like maybe the sound was echoing off the woods and he thought thats where the noise was coming from. This is at 1:00 in the afternoon. So i call a little longer and wait about fifteen minutes and nothin. Ok so i head to the truck looking out across the field thinking about moving closer to the woods to call some more and thats what i do. I get set up in a thicket by a ditch line and start calling again and i see one way off making his way towards me. Im still a couple hundred yards from the woods and the yote makes it to the back side and i loose site of him. Called some more and nothin. I'm like ok they didnt get close to me or in my wind to spook and they didnt see me so i got out of there. Maybe if it was night time they would have commited on coming in? Oh well it was cool seeing them and next time i will have my electric caller and rifle with me. I changed the reed in the critter call and it dosen't sound like it did when it was new.

Yeah it was just a fluke thing as i most always go when it just gets dark. I called one once that i thought was going to run over me when i shot it and have called others in so i think im doing something right i hope. Thats the thing also is you dont know who else is around blowing calls. The most luck i have had is with this little open reed critter call but i might of messed it up when i changed the reed. There cheap so i might just get a new one. I have the johnny stewert digital that i have used but never had anything come in but hawks and owls LOL!!!. Thanks on the Good luck i need it lol!!!
