Me and Ol Purp went out after work this evening to celebrate my birthday. I thought what a better way to have fun turning 46 than to take out my favorite Swift and call.

I hit a pasture that I seldom call, maybe once a year. To call it,the wind has to be perfect out of the N/NE. I had that very wind this evening. I set up near my favorite mesquite bush and let rip a tune on a purple Syco. Within 2 minutes a yote came out of the thick brush and up the oilwell road heading to me. I drop him with a neck shot and keep calling with a serious critter in pain tune. Maybe another 2 minutes go by and this old tom comes out of the brush onto the road maybe 40 yards closer from where I dropped the yote. Another neck shot and I have two animals down in the same road within 40 yards from one another. This all took place within 5 mintes or less. I began calling at 4:50pm and after I composed myself after the cat kill it was 4:55. Not very often does one get a dog and cat on the same set so close in time and proximity. What a birthday present!!! I'm glad the V max didn't exit the cat like it did the dog. The yote had one major exit hole. The cat has minimal fur damage and his hide is in the freezer.

Sure beats eatin' cake and ice cream.

Nice lookin' cat. Excellent job, congratulations and hope you have many more.

I ate the cake before I went calling. These were the presents. I didn't mind at all peeling the cat in the cold.
