got out this AM, 1st stand was a no show, 2nd stand at the 9+/- minute mark had a yote come in, came in on the opposite side of the creek i was overlooking, he went down stream looking across at the decoy/call , but would not cross the creek, i left the call running, thinking it was headed down to an area to cross the creek and come down wind.
Wind was blowing in from my 2 o'clock, the creek is at my twelve. kept the call going, at about the 20 minute mark hear brush snapping and look across and see one or two moving upstream on the high bank across the creek, going in and out of the brush, no shot, kept call going, hear brush again and see one sneaking through the brush coming straight to me on the opposite side of the creek, about 75yds, he stepped into the open and I let him have a taste of the 6.5, he spun around stopped then took off into the brush. I called it a good hit, didn't look like he went far. Kept the call going for a couple more minutes then packed up my stuff and went to find it.
after i cross the creek on logs i found where i hit him, plenty of blood and hair, then hear the yote start moving again, plenty of blood left an easy trail to follow, then the blood trail disappeared into a hole in the side of the creek hill, look in and can see the tail about 5' in, couldn't find anything to try to snag it, so went home and got a shovel and ax (lots of trees in this hill side, get back cant see tail anymore, dug for an hour and cut roots, well this must be a duplex because it kept going into the hill and was just too much to dig and cut, called it a day, so a loss, too thick to get a backhoe into as well.

Then this evening scored on a whitetail about 75yds, late doe season here, for her I was using one of sneakyones 105gr INterbonds, the bullet performed good, I will get more specific info later when we process the deer, looks like I hit it just behind the diaphragm, enough blood to track her the 100yds or so she went, she really didn't act like she had been hit, just took off running, like i said bad hit on my part, but we got her. like I said more data later after the autopsy. : )
