Phredator Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 A perfect ending to a Friday. I have had the T3 .223 propped up by the back door for the last year, waiting for a coyote to walk by across the wash behind the house. I've seen quite a few 'yotes, just not one that I could get a shot at. Cooking dinner tonight I glanced out across the wash and there it was. One coyote wandering along the rim. I turned the stove off and stepped out the back door. The yote had vanished. I stood on top of the picnic table hoping to catch a glimpse, I finally saw him about 400 yards out moving in and out of the sagebrush. Wrong direction for a shot and a little far. Suddenly he turned and trotted straight towards me. I'm standing in the snow, in my socks, with the rifle propped on the fence. At 300 he stopped and turned broadside when a neighbors dog barked. Bam, down he went, no whirling or running, just stiff legs pointing skyward. I'll get a picture in the morning, the mud is ankle deep. Woot!

Phredator Posted February 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 I used the fence in the foreground as a rest for the shot. The coyote was just above and to the left of the Juniper tree along the rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
