We get snow here in Southern California about twice a year. So when it snows I beat tracks for the Mountain. Here is a coyote I caught crossing an opening with its mat. I shot him at about 160 yrds out leaning against the back of my vehicle. I was setting in the Xterra wondering which way to go when I spotted two coyotes crossing an opening I shot the one with a 32gr V max and dropped it in its tracks. The other one scooted off real fast. The one I shot kept raising its head up when I got to it it was still alive I shot it at a distance so it would not run off. After a period of time I had to shoot it again from up close it still took a few minutes to expire. There was only one small exit wound.ImageImageImage
