Yesterday morning I eased into make a call on a small plowed field about daybreak. I was studying the situation so that I would have all the advantages should I get a coyote to respond to my Ultracaller. A couple of minutes after I kicked on the caller, a pair of coyotes came racing from my left almost exactly where I expected them to appear. At one time, I thought that I could kill both with one shot as the females was perfectly aligned behind the male. They never checked up which happens so often with the Ultracaller producing the true animal recording. The female ran over the caller and got my stink and kept rolling while the male made a U turn and headed back from where he came. I barked at him and he looked over his shoulder but kept rolling. I clicked off the safety and squeezed the trigger as he continued to lope broadside from right to left. "Click"!!! No shell in the chamber...
This happens to me at least once a year and it drives me crazy. I get so intent on setting up "just right" that I forgot possibly the most basic ingredient. As my buddy Phil Lyne says, "A rifle that is not loaded is merely a club".....
You will be able to see this blunder along with several other this season on CARNIVORE.
Adios,
