5.   Fall has arrived and pretty well all small game is open now. Coyote opened on September 12th, Grouse & Ducks on the 19th, however Rabbits are still a couple weeks away and will open on October 10th. With awesome weather forecasted, Sooley, Maffer and I grabbed out hunting gear and headed to Gully Pond Road for an evening coyote hunt.

4.   We drove to the end of the road, then waked for about 10 minutes to an old blind from which Sooley & Maffer harvested a Moose a few years ago.

3.   We set up my FoxPro caller and between the three of us, we had a great 360 degree view of all the bogs and open country surrounding us.

2.   Not hearing any sign we packed up and headed to our next destination a few miles up the Southern Shore Highway. We tried our luck on the pole line behind the Southern Shore Arena, unfortunately much like earlier the coyotes eluded us. 

1.  Even though we didn't get to shoot anything, it was an absolutely beautiful evening in the woods!

Cheers, MIKE
