Awesome story! I’ve been following your stories for the last week or so, and it sounds like you have  had a season that will never be forgotten! 

@Downwind Hunting it was one of the coolest things I've ever witnessed!! To see a coyote at that close range and to watch him for 10+ minutes was crazy!!

@Dave Zdancewic that's for sure!! Some of the hunts we've had in the last few weeks were incredible and then this hunt pretty well topped it off!! One of the wildest hunts I've ever been a part of

@Greg McCloud words do it no justice...just an epic hunt

It really was!! I keep thinking it can't get any better but it does so hopefully the luck will continue in Pennsylvania

@Southeastern Bowhunting sure was!! I keep thinking it can't get better but it does so hopefully luck will continue into the PA season!

Congratulations!  Another chapter in your 2022 spring gobbler story!  Very impressed with how you’ve executed an awesome hunting plan!

@Mike Larsen thank you!! It sure has been an awesome season and I'm currently on the way to Montana for spring bear so not over yet!!

Went in early this morning and got up on a ridge above where I roosted a gobbler last night hoping for some good action on the last day in Ohio but I'd say we were fairly well blown away...3 different gobblers firing off on the roost all around us before flying down to the creek bottom and quieting down for a little before my brother(who was already tagged out)dropped back and fired up one of them and he was well on the way to us when suddenly 2 birds gobbled at 80 yards on my brothers side of the ridge where I couldn't shoot so I crawled over the top and set up about 20 yards from him and waited...I could hear something walking around at 40 yards and was expecting a gobbler to pop over the ridge at any minute when I looked to my right and there was a coyote in the wide open in full sneak at 40 yards but 15 yards directly behind my brother...I tried to communicate to him what was happening and meanwhile he called again and the coyote closed the distance to less than 10 steps...he started going for his knife because I couldn't shoot but I squeaked and the coyote just sat down...so I'm trying to somehow kill this coyote and meanwhile there's 10-12 birds gobbling all around and suddenly one gobbled at 25 yards just over the hill so I forgot the coyote,swiveled 180 degrees and clicked the safety off only for him to walk on around the ridge with no opportunity...we let the dust settle and I set back up in my original spot and 5 minutes later I hear something running through the leaves and my brother called,they gobbled and came in at a full sprint....I clicked the safety off and when a longbeard charged up over the ridge at 30 yards I took the shot and somehow missed but it didn't faze them and I made good on the second shot....what a ridiculous hunt to end 15 days of turkey hunting with the 9th gobbler for the 2 of us in 4 states...also including a picture of a shed I found while scouting
