What are the odds
10/08/05 at 10:13pm
 
Sat up on a new stand tonight. It was on the end of an L shape fence line in a big old cotten wood tree. I was about 20 yards from the end. A corn field ran along the fence line going east - west the bean field ran north-south up to the corn and had just been picked, at about 6:30 pm I saw a coyote come out of the corn about 150 yards to the east and start to make it's way  west. When it made it to the 20 yard mark I took the shot and gave it a haircut across the back. That yote was back in the corn in a heartbeat. Got down to check my arrow, no blood but a lot of hair.  Sad

At five to 7:00 pm I started to get out of stand when I took one last look around and right about where the first yote went in was a second one, Shocked  this one was heading east and just as I was pulling back I saw a third one to the west but had no shot due to tree limes in the way, so swung the bow back on the second one that was now about 30 yards to the east and took the shot. This time I aimed lower thinking that the first one had duckd the arrow, gave this one a belly haircut.  Embarrassed

Now what are the odds that one of these second two yotes could have been the first one I shot at.  ???
And what are the odds of getting two shots at yotes within 30 min,  ???
One more, for you coyote hunters. What are the odds of these coyotes showing back up in that spot again.  ???

Man I want one of there tanned hides hanging on the wall bad.  Grin

I think it could be the same one.  If there were 3 different yotes within 30 minutes than I think that something should be done to cut down the population a bit. Grin  Keep flinging arrows at them and put it on your wall. Wink

The odds of it being the same coyote is fairly good, but it would not be hard to believe that it was also three separate ones.  They are still traveling in their summer whelping groups.  The males haven't moved back into the groups driving the pups out.  You will see these cototes again, at least until you injure one and don't kill it.  Then it will more than likely be a little more difficult.  Last winter I caught 11 coyotes out of a 2 mile section, so never doubt how many there could be.
