Got a sleeper.
« on: November 29, 2011, 01:18:00 AM »
Went out this morning Sneeking in my first stand a small dich between almond orchards. get there and I think I see somthing down the ditch bank maybe 300 yards. Looked again and its gon. Dang bet it was a coyote. Then the crows and magpies start to go nuts in that direction. I sneek that way staying low in the ditch. Get there and theres something in the row that looks like a log but I can see ears I think. Its close to 150 yards out . I sneek out of the ditch and use the trees to hide me as Im walking up on this thing. Get to 50 yards and its is a coyote looks like its out cold but you can see it flip its tail and ears sometimes. On my hands and knees now . The crows are still going bonkers. Get to 25-30 yards and it sits up. I try to get ready and it jumps up and trots my way about 20 feet stops and is looking my way but not at me .The arrow is on its way I do not remember shooting it just happen. The coyote jumps spins and takes off.It vanishes . Dang I miss. Went to get my arrow and can't find it. But did find lots of this stuff.
 
 
fallow the drops for maybe 50 yards and find this
 
start looking around and see this
 
Got him.
Close up pictures. Mature male that has some battle scars and mange.

 
 
Hit the shoulder and came out in front of the oposite hind leg . He still went about 70 yards.
The arrow must of hit some small branches or somthing I was looking at his center of his chest ,he must of turned to get hit on the side.
Heck I can't remember.
You can hop but you can't hide.
If it was not for rabbits I would never get a buck.
Yip yipahooooo yipyipyip.

:notworthy:  You are the best coyote hunter I have ever seen, bar none! Coyotes are undoubtedly one of the most, if not THE most, difficult game animals to bag with the trad bow. Especially by stalking!

Nice shot,congrats.Did you found out what it was looking about?(coyote and crows)
An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

You need to get Ryan Steadman to make you a "Master Yote Whacker" T-shirt.
