Almost...
« on: October 11, 2008, 01:22:58 PM »


So this morning I went out east of Seaside, again. Don't like the vehicle traffic so went behind a locked gate with my buddy and enjoyed the walk. Jumped a doe early and nothing else was around her. Good sign though, a deer right from the start.

Kept going and glassed as it got light out. Walked through some brush on the side of the road to get a better vantage point and started looking at the older clearcut for any movement... and something took off! Was small, brought up the binos and saw it was a coyote! Put my earplugs in, brought my gun up and laid it on the brach of this 7' tall tree. Don't know what kind, but had the really stiff and pokey needles on it. Tried to get the coyote in the crosshairs, but couldn't see him at first. Adjusted the scope to 6x and found him. As I got the crosshairs on him, he crested the top of this little ridge and was out of sight. Damn... missed my first shot at a coyote. But then he came back towards me and was in sight again. Followed him in the scope, he stopped behind a stump and looked at me. Could see his head, neck and front legs, but the rest was covered. Safety off, took aim at what was available to shoot at, and BOOM! He disappeared, I missed.










Just kidding!!!!!!!





He almost got away, but made the mistake of coming back to my side of the ridge. My first coyote :)  He was about 175 yards. That 140 Accubond sure messed him up!

Great shot! Looks like a real fine west side trophy, did you keep any of the hide?

Good going!
