It was a Fox kinda night! Trying for yotes, but the foxes wouldn’t leave. They’d come in quick at every stand and I’d pass. They’d leave and I’d change the call. They’d come back again and I’d pass. Change the call and back again. After about 25-30 min, I’d just take the fox and move stands. Passed on some raccoons, two of which came in at a run and tackled my X24! Didn’t get a shot at a sneaky Bobcat. Fun night, though.

Testing out a pop up blind in an older steel frame for when Diver comes out to hunt in December. One of the blinds we will use.

One stand tonight. Fox came in after about 20min. Passed. This fat yote came in at the 30min mark. Just lazily sauntering in. Fat as could be! Heaviest yote I’ve shot. Must have had a good thanksgiving meal. Her belly was huge!
Series of calls, 5 min each with 2 min break between and varying volume.

Going after this boar with my hunting partner on Tuesday. If he comes in with daylight, I'm taking him with my .35 Remington Pachmayer Dominator. After dark, will be my buddy with his thermal.

I don’t know. It’s my buddies place. But the feeders look like what we have.
He’s not a huge boar. But, from other pictures, he has nice tusks and he’s eating size. 🤷‍♂️

These 5 Toms came by yesterday afternoon. They're 120-150 yards away.
There is no fall turkey season in this county, and only archery, shotguns and open sighted handguns are legal arms when they ARE in season.

The damage to the greenfield is from the hogs that rooted up all the turnips out of the field

Part of the bullet exited as there was an exit hole and the video showed the bullet striking the dirt beyond the buck. I found half the jacket and the base of the core under the hide on the off side.
Still think this bullet is too fragile. Actually the first I’ve see exit the animal. Prefer the 140gr A-Max or 147gr ELD-Match. Even the 143gr ELD-X is a better bullet.
I’m not buying anymore 130gr ELD-Match. I got them to try to gain velocity. But, they are too soft.
