I decided to try and call in some coyotes one night last year and, like most times I try to go, my daughter
wants to go with me. I figured I would go ahead and let her go so I would have someone to hold the light
for me and besides, I might as well get her started hunting. We set up in a field by some chicken houses
that were bordered by woods on two sides. We got set up and, after giving her some quick instructions, I
started calling. We were about to give up and move on when she said, "Dad, there is something moving
over by the woods!" Sure enough, about 100 yards out, was a hog crossing the field.
I told her to steady the light on it as I got it sighted in the scope. As soon as it stopped for a second, I
squeezed the trigger and dropped it in it's tracks, which was a pretty good thing because as soon as I
fired, the kid jumped and dropped the light and I never would have seen where the hog ran to. Despite the
jump. What a great joy it was to have her there!
