				I figured i better post this before levi does!   Well we were out hunting this weekend and the second to that last stand i was over looking a flat that had a bunch of little draws in it with some cattails for cover cause it was windy out.  well about 5 minutes into the stand i look to my left and above me cause i thought i had heard something and there it was Mr./Mrs. (dont know) but youg coyote looking at me.  I could have literally reached out lunged and grabed it.  so i lipsqueaked trying to keep it close and that alerted levi.  With all the stupid things i have done in my life i think i did the dumbest one yet and left the shot gun in the truck.  As i slowly turned to get the rifle on it it started to bound/jump away from me and at ten yards and my scope at 5.5 power all i could see was funr then no fur, fur then no fur, so i let one rip wich was another mistake i should have let it get farther away.  I FRICKEN MISSED!!!!  i couldn't bielieve it.  I think i was so shocked at the whole event that i missed all my shots as it ran away.  i could have hung up the gear right there.  i was so upset at myslef and not to mention the confidence killer that was.  Yet again i will get out there and raise some more hell this coming weekend at the classic.  Results of the day were 10 good stands.  called in 6 shot 2 and jamie there is one stand we need to discuss at the classic.
