A blind squrriel got his nut !!
« on: December 05, 2016, 08:28:51 PM »
I was asked to watch my friend's farm this hunting season to keep hunters off the property. The ONLY thing that can be hunted is coyotes. (which there is at least 1 maybe 2 packs) Anyhoo, Tuesday afternoon this one came out in the field but broke towards the high buffalo grass. At 250 yards,it was a shot at its rear or nothing. Sooooooooo.....







Then on Friday morning at 7:50 am I hit the lottery. 160 yards through the open field and just as I was going to squeeze the trigger, it stopped broadside and presented me with a great shot.



Yes folks, a full body mount for this one. YEEEEEEE HAAAAAAW !!!!
I would like to add that without the use of the "tri-x stand", these shots probably would not have hit their intended target.

Congratulations.

Good going George, most people never see a black coyote let alone shoot one!!!
For a brief moment I could hear nature through all the noise.
