Let em come in boys

I found a nice stand for coyotes last month. Happened to be right behind the house.

I got my calls ready and set my date and time, today in the late afternoon. I set out with ambitions HIGH, and ammo loaded to perfection. Started my calling as I was sittin for around 45 min. Spotted a nice size full grown yote off in the distance. Next thing I knew the wife was sending me a text message. "Honey there is a nice coyote on the hill out on the front hill" I replied "I'm watching him come towards me!!" I started feeling the pressure and pounding of the heart. I let him do his thing along the way but was thinking how nice it would be to get the shot while he was in my wife and baby's view. At a stand still I took the shot. MISSED!!! He made a run right across the front of me along the fence and got aim to take another shot... MISSED!!! I wanted to cry. Thought I could make a long shot and was hoping to get to show the ladies how it is done. I am totally done with rushing the shots.

Moral of the story screw all else be patient and "LET EM COME IN BOYS!!!"

Far as I could see with all the durt that kick up he was dead as a door nail. But he kept moving down the hill. I'll know for next time.

Keith, if there would of been nobody there to witness your great shot you would of made it. Enjoy that baby mine's in highschool.

They'll run a long way when they're gut-shot. The beauty of that is that their packmates will taker care of them pretty soon...

I'm going to try again today. Got another stand the other side of the hill and where there is one there is more.Plan to go around the same time and using the same calls. If they worked once they'll work again.

I got em boys. New Years Eve. I was grilling steaks for the wife and I, they were almost done and out on the top of the hill in the backyard I spotted something small dashing in and out of the cows. I new it was a yote. I threw the medium done steaks on the platter and ran inside, told the wife I wouldn't be eating right now there a Coyote in the back. She was bout 400 yards away so I made a squeak with my lips to the back of my hand an I'll be darn if this critter didn't make a B-line straight towards me and my house (perfect!!!) I kept the scope on her and kept squeaking with the other hand. I went to pop her bout 200 yards away and I had the safety on. I took this as a sign I squeaked again and she came alil closer. Then I had her, took the shot she hobbled bout 10 feet or so and layed down. Went back to the house and loaded the lady and my 6 month old daughter in the truck and off we went to bring in the new year with a nice yote in the back. The picture tells the whole story. Check out the colors in the background... Final walk off was a shot of 165 yards and she was taken with a caliber .223 Savage 110E Bushnell scope with a Fed. TNT GREEN 43 grain copper bullet. ONE SHOT how it suppose to be done.

Oh the steaks were waiting for us at the house when we got back. COLD, but well worth it!!

Nice job Keith. You're holding a "good" coyote... and there's only one kind of "good" coyote.

Nice dog, looks pretty light colored back in the day he would have brought some good money.
