A buddy of mine took me out on my first ever coyote hunt.  We went driving around and saw a yote run into a patch of standing corn.  He dropped me off about 500 yards from the patch and I started quietly walking.  Well I got to about 200 or so yards away and he takes off!  I raise up and put one in him about 250 or so yards off with my first shot!  I got him in the back legs as he started biting at them, I calmed myself down and took a knee and put one more in him to finish him off.  I was soooo stoked up!  My buddy said this is one of the biggest ones he has seen, saying it was about 40-45lbs.

Congrats

I never had coyote. How do they taste?

very repectable shooting with that rifle/range on a running animal. congrads.

Nice kill.

Oh yuck... You dont eat them, some poeple skin them and sell the coats but thats about it. I just leave mine in ditches...

Good Job!!!  I have to shoot them out of my yard to keep them from eating my dog and cat.

Where in IL are you?  I live 20 miles N of I-64 and we don't have a flake of snow on the ground.

They taste kinda like a cross between a gopher and an armadillo.

I am in Champaign, Looks like you are about 2.5 hours away or so...  I cant believe you dont have any snow on the ground there...  We only got about 4 inches or so here, but it was enough to get the dogs out looking for food...

Nice job.

Nice shootin' tex!

Very nice.

awsome, congrats on the dog. The picture came out nice too!

I killed my first coyote back in November while deer hunting on national forrest. But I think that one may eat the one I killed. It only weighed about 30 lbs.

Nice yote. You should try your hand at calling them in. Almost as addictive as bass fishing!!

I am already setup for that, I went out and bought a Johnny Stewart Predator two caller on Sunday.  It works great for the price (40bucks) but its not as loud as some that I have heard so I am going to go to radio shack and buy a mini amp and a PA speaker to get some extra volume out of it.

i'd turn that thing into a coat! nice shot. 250 yard moving target first shot? you'd make a d**n fine green beret sniper.

Yeah.. maybe Navy Seal material there...send him over to Somolia to snipe some pirates.

Congrats!

lol I dont know about all that, it was pretty much a lucky shot at that distance but I'll take it!  ;D

I assume a .223 round was used, right?

Nice shot!

Yeah a .223, thanks!

So you killed him why?

Just asking...

They are pest, they kill peoples pets, livestock, ect...
