So on the weekends I load up my labs wake up my daughter and I normally go get a cup of coffee she gets a chocolate milk. Then we do a little puddle jumping for ducks. This morning she says to me dad I don't want to shoot anything on thanksgiving can we just go for a drive instead. I said ok but let me grab a gun just incase and she pleads with me saying no you'll shoot something. Knowing better I agree and we go for a drive running the labs some. Saw several mallards in a few ponds, a herd of elk, and on the way back I pass a coyote standing on a spur road. I turn around and pull right into the spur road with this coyote just standing there at about 10yds. He starts to move a little and I whistle and he stops. He just stands there for the longest time and then walks to about 15yds from my truck standing looking out from a small reprod tree. When I left he was still standing there. One stupid but lucky coyote. Now I'm kicking myself for not grabbing a gun or at least one of my pistols. I knew better but my daughter with a smile on her face says dad it was just a little one and I don't want you to kill it on thanksgiving. Ugh!!!!!!! Kids!!!!!!! but she's a good kid!!!!

They aren't as dumb as they look. I've seen coyotes sitting right out in the open, and by the time I got a round in the chamber, he was gone! :chuckle:

Worked for mine too. She wants us to specifically go after the yotes to help all of her other furry friends in the woods.
