Title: found after 3 weeks
Post by: 220swift on November 10, 2009, 06:49:54 PM
I shot at a coyote about 3 weeks ago trotting across a hay field. It would not stop and i knew i hit it but it ran off. I hunted untill dark but could not find it. Yesterday i saw buzzards seting in a tree next to this hay field so i go take a look to see what they are eating and there was the coyote. It was about 60 yards from where i last saw it. I shot it with a 243 win with an 87 grain bullet. I guess the bullet was a little heavy.

Glad to hear that it didn't go to waste.  Go buzzards!   :biggrin:

I've lost a "few" over the years.  Lost more with the bigger calibers than with the 22 centerfires.
