Old Warrior

[Vance]

Today I went out calling and came across this old brute that’s had a hard life! Got him with the shotgun at 51 yards. All scarred up, missing a leg, teeth down to the gums or just missing completely! Yet he was healthy, furred up great, seemed to be thriving just fine!

That old fellow's had a tough life. Gives you a real appreciation for their survival abilities.

Makes you wonder, don't it?

They are true survivors.

When the ground is your dinner plate there's a lot of dirt & rocks in your diet.

Tough by our standards. Their standards are to survive. I've seen so many examples of just how efficient they are at finding something to eat and how tough they are, that it still just amazes me.
Thanks for posting Vance.

Congratulations on getting that old warrior with a shotgun, what load did you use?

You did that old guy a favor by killing him quickly.

It’s a 2 3/4” law enforcement load of #1 buck with federal flight control wad.

Looks like he might’ve chewed on a trap or two in his life.

Congrats on getting a well educated coyote.

That is an absolute warrior of a coyote. Just image the things he has done and been through.

 

[redhaze]

He made a good living for a long time. Nice take.

I would love to read a book written by an old dog like this! If only....
