My goal was 70 coyotes and I managed to hit that mark today!
After seeing the direction the coyotes went yesterday, I drove up the lease road to check that area out before heading home.
Three well traveled coyote trails confirmed where I would be sitting come Saturday morning.
Parked the truck in my usual spot and from there walked a half mile north where I would set up in front a row of trees.
Twenty minutes ticked by before seeing three coyotes headed my way. The three were staggered a couple hundred yards apart from each other but my attention was locked onto the lead coyote.
Of the three trails I seen yesterday, this coyote isn’t traveling on any of them. With the coyote 60 or so yards beyond the furthest trail, it would require the crosshairs to be raised some. Although the coyote was just walking, I couldn’t seem to get it to stop. With a slight lead, I touched off a shot which put the coyote down. The coyote managed to get back up and my next shot was a miss but the third shot put it down for good. Ranged the shot at 254 yards. ( 223AI & 64 gr Berger's)
