Coyote Before The Rain

weedwalker · December 22, 2011, 04:15:41 PM

The rain was gonna hold off till noon, so me and a friend of mine stepped out for a few stands this morning. The first 4 stands were dry. On the 5th stand, this big heavy male came in to some very high pitched distress on the green Lil-Dog. At 50 yards I popped him with the .22-250. He still ran another 100 yards with his lungs hanging out of the softball sized hole on his right side before he finally gave it up.

Way to go Ed!!

Looks like you shot that one in the foot. Was that to slow him down?

weedwalker · December 22, 2011, 05:16:33 PM

No Bear, didn't shoot him in the foot.

He had a giant hole on the other side with parts hanging out and blood everywhere. I soulda took a pic of that side too.

NICE!!!

Ed

It looks like your Ky coyotes are living good... except for the ones that are sporting a giant hole in their side.

22-250, no scatter gun today?

Chet, I was planning on taking the new guy over to Redbird on the big coal strip jobs. That's why I had the rifle instead. But after I left home, I found out elk season was still in till tomorrow over there and we would be required to wear orange vest & hats, which we didn't have. So we went to a local WMA here close to home were orange was not needed. A shotgun would've done the job on this one. I shot him at 50 yards but he was coming in. I could've let him get closer.

Ed, knowing you I have absolutely no doubt but getting splattered with coyote blood and guts ain't much fun.

Weedwalker, you are flat out good at fooling those southeastern coyotes! Pretty coat on that one.

Yotehntr · December 23, 2011, 10:25:32 AM

Good job Ed! the 22-250's aren't real "hide friendly" are they! lol

possumal · December 23, 2011, 02:44:41 PM

Nice male, Big Ed. He ought to make some nice coyote stew for ya. I can load you some shells for that 22-250 that will put them down for the count DRT, but you won't be blowing their lungs out the other side.

I hope you showed him to old Max to get his reaction.
