after finding myself in the dog house friday night due to an incident involving a bachelorette party at the bar while out celebratingmy birthday i found myself out this morning for the first time chasing coyotes. After two blank stands i connected with this little guy at 250 yards. dut to a mixture of adrenaline and the shakes i missed the first shot. he ran about 20 yards and i howled him to a stop. steadied on the sticks and squeezed the trigger WHACK i heard as the yote fliped. first one of the year down i thought. i got up left my sticks my caller and went to collect my trophy. about half way to him i watched him get up and run over a small draw. WHAT!!! i thought e just took that 100gr. sierra from black betty (my .243) and still has some go!!! i knew then i had made a horrible shot and NEEDED to end the litle guys suffering. i followed the blood trail for 50 yards before loosing it. SOB i thought i lost him. i walked around looking and found nothing. returned to where i lost the blood trail and was ready to give up but i knew he had to be out there somewhere. i began walking back towards where i had last seen him and jumped him out from under some sage. he ran about 10 yards before giving up. i had to finish him close range and was releived to have ended his suffering. what a great weekend first one of the year out of the way. made getting in trouble and sleeping on the couch a little better. all in all a great birthday weekend. sorry for being long winded i was a bit excited. headed out again tomorrow for possibly the second and maybe more.
