First Yote

So I was deer hunting in the Umptanum area the other day and I came up to the edge of this draw and out the bottom and up the other side goes this gray streak at about 100 mph. I figure its a coyote by its general size and shape but at this point its just a blur. The poor guy has about 500 yards to go before he makes it to any cover so I grab my shooting sticks... get them set up... dial the scope up... sit down...steady the 7mm-08... flick the safety... and then I find him in the scope. He finally stops for a breath at about 300 yards,(i've never shot this far with this gun) and sure enough, its a coyote. He's quarterd uphill and away from me so I put the cross hairs on his back right above the back of his ribcage and squeeze one off. Theres a cloud of a dust and a coyote tumbline end over end... over end.... over end....... over end down the hill most of the way back down to the bottom. I shot him about 300 y ards out and only had to walk about 100 yards to get to him. I don't have a bunch of experience with these guys but I think he's a pretty good sized dog. I'd estimate him in the 30-40# range. I skinned him out for a buddy who wanted the hide, but there was about a grapefruit sized hole where his front shoulder used to be. Glad to see my handloads were accurate!

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

Pretty cool feeling huh! the sad part is if that was a deer it would not have happened that easy, I've figured out that if you pretend that a deer is a dog they drop first maybe second shot! I've busted dogs at ridiculous distances not sure if I could have killed deer at that same distance? something about pressure.

Maturity is when you have the power to destroy someone who did you wrong but instead you breathe, walk away, and let life take care of them.
