Sorry Mods. This is better placed here. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_10_3/666703_Another_Fresh_Reason_to_Kill_Coyotes.html Thirty minutes ago my dogs went ballistic. Something was in the brush outside the fence 25 yards away. Out stepped a Coyote. It stood there and eyed up my dogs as a morning meal, as a flimsy wire mesh fence was the only thing keeping it away from breakfast. The Yote saw me as I went inside to get my rifle and took for the brush. I grabbed my AR, and a cup of hot coffee, and stepped outside and sat down on the back steps. About 20 minutes later, out it come for the bait. Just yesterday I put out a pile of hog fat. Terminally gut shot.  |

Right side was facing. She was head down going towards the bait. First shot was high belly on right. When hit she spun right and was biting on her legs. As I walked towards her she was nose away laying on her right side and kicking hard. I took a heart shot and ended her. It must have ricocheted off a rib? No idea. Then the bullet exited left and ripped through and out the left shoulder. Ammo was the first clip I grabbed. Hornady TAP 62gr. Barrier Penetrating. Red X was line of sight from my back steps. Figured if I got up it would spook.  Tied to stump on the other side of the creek.  |

In my experience. Coyote will very rarely come to another dead animal to eat it. They'd rather catch a mouse in a field, or chase down a fawn as a pack. They'll also walk right by something dead to eat weeds! Seen it hundreds of times.
But, hey, good luck in your ventures. |
