Mohawk coyote
« on: September 16, 2011, 11:55:00 PM »
This evening I walked into a stand that was off the beaten path . On the walk in a sparrowhawk flew over me, as the saying goes, I kid you not!  Crawled up in a tree stand hoping to see a pig come though.  I did see a pig straight down wind about 150 yards across a clearing, he huffed and took off..  It was a nice evening so I stayed until dark.
    The mosquitos got a bit hungry so I got down and slipped my daypack on and grabbed my bow for the walk back to the truck.  About 200 yards from my stand is an old tank with a 3' bank all the way around it. It's probably about 30 yards across and 50 yards long, it's also dry except for a little spit hole about 3 feet in diameter. I slipped up to the bank and saw several sets of eyes in dim glow of my headlamp. I put an arrow on the string and just stood there for a moment. I had the wind and the coyotes were more curious than anything else. I took several steps towards them and stopped again. Then two of them started coming towards me. This one was circling trying to get my wind I'm sure. He stopped at about 20 yards. I came to full draw and the string slipped from my fingers. I heard the arrow hit bone with a crunch. He was down !  The arrow hit a tad high and tickled his backbone, must have taken out the top of the lungs too because he was dead in a very short time..
     I was using Beman 500s with a 160 STOS and a 100 grain adapter - 260 grains up front.. And you guessed it, my new Sparrowhawk longbow by Vince at Mohawk longbows !!!

Too cool Pat.....and in self defense even.  Looks like a fair sized song dog at that.

Nice job, Pat!  Been gone a while and your is the first post I read.  Impressive!  Did the rest of the "field dogs" leave?
