Through wind and rain.....

I shall not be kept home wishing I was hunting. I was really apprehensive about going out coon hunting last night since the weather was suppose to be rain with thunderstorms. I actually only had to deal with the wind, which blew hard all night. The wind was predicted to blow at 15-25 mph with gusts of 35, and it blew all night. I also saw lightning all night but didn't hear any thunder.
My first spot was a long stretch of power lines that went down to the river. I heard some coons fighting or something else when I was walking in, but couldn't get them to come in to the call. So I moved on down the power line only to find out I could only go half the way I wanted to, because the rest was flooded.
While I was walking back I noticed a set of eyes about 20 yrds from me on the ground. Since there was no huff like a deer would do I figured it was either a fox or a coyote. I set up a quick stand and started with a cottontail in distress, after only a couple minutes I saw the eyes again, but before I could get on them they were gone.
That was just a bonus encounter cause I was after coons. I made a couple more stands on the way back to the car, nothing showed. I went to another spot and called with goose egg results. Then I started for a spot I usually do pretty good at, I walked in made a quick set at another spot then on to "the hot spot".
Today it did not disappoint, I set up started the caller and had a set of eyes appear in a tree. I eased up for the shot and put some fur on the ground. After I laid him on the trail and grabbed my caller I went about a block and was getting ready to make another stand when I looked up and had 2 sets of eyes lookin at me. A couple shots later I had 2 more on the ground. I left them on the trail and was going to go in a half a block and set up for my stand, when I saw another set of eyes watching me. One shot, one kill, one more pelt on the ground. One stop 4 coons on the ground, with the temps at 50+ this is better than I thought I would do.

With coon season ending Thursday and these four coons I now have 13 coons to bring into the furrier. I have trapped 9 coon in back of my house, this paycheck will be sweet.....I have my eye on some new goose decoys.
