I didn't miss

[Native Hunter]

When it comes to taking a shot at a deer or turkey I'm very selective and only go for a sure thing. But when it comes to coyotes, every shot is a shot worth taking.

Last fall I had a yote on the move crossing through some small trees about 200 yds away. It seemed like an impossible shot but I took it anyway. I had about 4 seconds to get the shot off before he disappeared into a brier thicket, and the small trees were blocking him at times while he moved.

"The Force" took control and I saw the yote react but he kept moving.

My dad was out this week looking for sheds and found the evidence. The yote covered several more yards from the spot I shot him before going down. First pic is the yote and second pic shows me standing where the yote was when I took the shot. You can see the blind in the distance.

Holy crap man. Thats a shot! I shot one with my bow and could find no blood. He ran into nasty thick stuff. I found him rabbit hunting in January.

Congrats on the bow kill Fish. They make a tough target to hit.

Show off. Great shot. I remember you talking about the shot last year. Glad you got the evidence. Those canines are why I started packing pistol years ago when they became prevalent hear in the early 90s.

Yes, that happened the same day I blasted the one that bedded down in a deer scrape. That one was a much easier shot...

That's the kind of positive outlook that I like....!

Good shot! Nice skull for being in the elements.

Thanks. I wish my teeth were that white!

Heck I couldn't see that far let alone shoot that far. Congrats on getting rid of the bambi killer.

Seeing at a distance is still a piece of cake for me - the problem is up close - thank goodness for reading glasses...

That would look good on a desk or a small display on the wall once it is cleaned up. Good shot.

Thanks. I was kind of thinking the same thing - but of course somewhere in the man cave out of my wife's sight...

I should probably also use my toothbrush to clean it up instead of hers........
