Anyone; who boldly states that a coyote in plain sight, at 500 yards is a dead dog, has climbed the tree so far up, EVERYONE, can see his big lyin' [beeep]
The average coyote, presenting a broadside shot,(which they all do right) is exposing a lethal target, approx 3 1/2 inches in height, and about a (Im being generous) 10" in length of a target. An error of 25 yards could snuff that shot, much less wind etc. Anyone who can puff his chest, and claim to hit that size target with ease at 500 yards has:
"A" not shot enough coyotes to know better
"B" lives a very sheltered life,and believes that because the local boys down at the coffe shop by his bs, everyone does
"C" Is quite simply, a bad liar; a good liar is an entertaining sob, a bad liar, upsets most fellas, because if we let it go by, the story teller assumes we believe such nonsense, and insults our intelligence
500 yards is a hell of a poke, under even the best conditions, but quarterboredout, waves his arms and shouts about howling winds on the vast prarries shooting at 5-600 yard coyotes, and even hitting them with some degree of regularity. Am I the only one that dismisses those stories as unmitigated BS, or is that a chip shot in most minds?
That about says it all. I think more than a couple these fellas inhabit this wonderful site. I've taken more 4 or 5 hundred yard shots than I can remember- with everything from a .223 to a .22-250 bull barrelled monster to a .243 and not hit crapola. All my successful shots have been made at 300 yards or less.
