The coyote didn’t go directly to the cow; instead, it stayed out in the field and went past the cow and then circled back into the wind and made a slow approach.

It started eating as I cranked up the power and lined up on it. The coyote was quartering into me and I took the shot. I hit a little to the right and the coyote started spinning and growling and went down about 6’-7’ from the cow. I kept watching it and could see its head moving but it didn’t get up. I would look around to see if anything else was in the area and then look back at the coyote again. In about 35-40 seconds, the coyote drug its self over to the cow and started eating. I lined up on it again as it was laying there broadside eating and put a shot through its lungs. Here's the way I found it.

Here's a look back to where I was when I shot.

The first bullet hit in the stomach and exited the far hind leg, blowing the bone apart and the leg was hanging on by skin only. The coyote wasn’t mangy but didn’t look very healthy. It was pretty thin and apparently pretty hungry.
I ranged the coyote at 277 yards and was shooting my CZ 527 American loaded with a 39 gr. Sierra Blitz King.
