Afternoon away from the office

Post by M.Bird » Tue Feb 09, 2010 1:48 pm

Last week I finally found the public access to a great looking area off Garrison Rd, across the Hwy from Cabals’ in Reno Nv. What a great looking coyote area [-o< , large bowl area with fingers and draws running to the center. Last Friday, got off early and took the CICH (Commander in Charge of House) with me. Got into the area, found good parking place, short walk to first set-up, produced nothing, ½ mile to the second produce 3 does looking to see what the noise was—nothing after that, making my way to the third spot, cut some cat (mountain Lion) tracks—not good :>/ . Found where I want to make the set from, got set up and just waiting before blowing the call, what comes walking out of the draw—Mr. Cat, he looked good, shinny coat, full body, just over 6ft. First time the CICH had seen one in the wild. We sat and watched him for over 10 minutes, wind in our favor he never knew we were there. Did not do any calling at that set-up. Moved to a new location as we started to clear the pine area, caught movement just outside of the pines, moved to better viewing location, 2 wild mustangs, looked around for more and found deer, lots of deer, I mean Lots of deer, sat there and watched the deer, saw several good buck, 4x4’s with both horns still intact, one 3xmissing left side, all the deer looked in good shape. Backed out of that area. Long trek to south side of the bowl, made 2 more sets, got some challenge barks on the last set from behind us (wind in our face) they might have winded us but they were not warning barks, sounded young.
Back to the Jeep changed clothes went to the Casino for Dinner, CINH won second place in the daily slot tournament.
Not a bad way to spend a afternoon away from work.
Have a Great day

Sounds like a great day of playing hooky!
It ain't the size of the gun but the placement of the bullet.
