Calling

[greybeard]

Was fishing and took a break and took out a predator call, to see if I could see a fox.

While calling, I saw something coming towards me, and when it got to about twenty feet from me it stopped, put it's ears up and stared at me. It was a cottontail. Never called a cottontail before, just thought it was strange.

Cool.... You must have been making the noise of a carrot. Lol!

B., were you doing a rabbit mating call? I need to bring you rabbit hunting with my air gun next time!

[New York Hillbilly]

Think he was "hoppy" to see you?

[greybeard]

NYHillbilly.. Maybe my call said ,come "hare" and say hello.

 

Shawn.. Maybe it  was a mating call...and  sounded like rabbit  screams of passion.

Cool story Beard! 

          At least it wasn't a skunk. I've had that privilege, not a good situation! 

 

I hit the river for the first time this year today for some muskies, not 5 casts and a wicked t-storm blows in. Lots of widow maker trees down there so I boogied on out.

That bunny will learn the hard way not to answer a four , or two legged predators call!

Predate, it sure was a surprise to have a rabbit come in.  I'm glad it WASN'T a skunk..That could ruin your day.

 

My area didn't get storms today, but I could hear thunder in the distance so some spots nearby got whacked with storms I guess.. The air was VERY heavy, and had some rain, but not bad.

I hope you get some muskies and write it up. I don't think that there is a fish that impresses me as much as a musky. The closest  Esox  that we got here are chain pickerel and that's a far cry from a musky. Glad you got outta there unharmed.

 

JimR...When the rabbit realized what I was (I moved), he sure knew I wasn't who he wanted to see, so maybe it learned a lesson. .
