Post by: Miles on March 08, 2011, 02:59:35 AM: About 5 yards with a 12 gauge full choke. I was trying to call in a turkey when I heard somthing coming behind me. I slowly turned my head to see a coyote running full tilt towards me. I picked up the gun and fired...it left a pretty nasty looking hole in him at that distance.

I did that same shot in reverse, little farther away, with a .300 Win. Mag. Hit it at the base of the tail, ran the length of the spine and blew the skull off the lower jaw. Looked like I ran it over with an industrial mower.

Title: Re: Whats the closest, shot on a yote
Post by: MtnMuley on March 08, 2011, 01:59:22 PM: Belly crawling while jump shooting a duck pond -- I saw a yote about 20 yds and closing right towards me (he saw my buddy sneaking on the other side of the lake). I froze and put my head down. I peeked up when he was basically a couple feet or closer away. He froze and I touched off. 3" high base duck loads flipped him, :chuckle: Funny thing is, of all hundreds of yotes I've killed with a rifle (a lot of calling), the closest I've probably shot was 20 yds.

In a trap? If that's the case, then I've killed several at mere inches away. :chuckle:
Title: Re: Whats the closest, shot on a yote
Post by: WAcoyotehunter on March 10, 2011, 10:35:12 AM: :) not in a trap. I followed him into a rock pile and got him trapped in a seam in the rocks...long story, but I ended up shooting him and he fell out of the bluff ~100 ft.

Post by: fishermanjoe on March 10, 2011, 12:10:19 PM: 30 yards with a 300WSM to the face. I turned his head into a canoe :yike:

Title: Re: Whats the closest, shot on a yote
Post by: h2ofowlr on March 10, 2011, 12:23:13 PM: Shot one at about two feet with my 12 gauge. It came in on me when i was in my final approach blind while goose hunting.
Title: Re: Whats the closest, shot on a yote
Post by: NW-GSP on March 10, 2011, 12:28:23 PM: 30 yards 30/06 all I saw in the scope was fur but then I said to myself is it really going to matter where I hit it with a 30/06 :chuckle:
I ended up hitting it where the lung heart area is or was :rolleyes:
Title: Re: Whats the closest, shot on a yote
Post by: JackOfAllTrades on March 10, 2011, 12:49:40 PM: 10yds! Grouse hunting in open timber with 12ga. #7 to the side of his face pretty much rocked his world. (Then a couple of followup shots at closer range) Scraggly mut. I think I woke him up from a nap on the opposite side of a bush.

Post by: PrimalTV on March 10, 2011, 04:00:16 PM: Ive only shoot one so its my closets and farthest :chuckle:. Put him down at about 100 yards while he was walking by with my .243 Browning A-bolt.
Title: Re: Whats the closest, shot on a yote
Post by: Bigtine96 on March 10, 2011, 04:24:32 PM: About 10 feet hahaha, killed it with 7 1/2 shot and blew a hole on it the size of my fist. Long story short I ran up over these rocks I saw it walk over and it was standing there :chuckle:
