Triple

Triple, as in we all shot the coyote once.
My buddy TR spent a couple of days chasing coyotes with my son Colton and me. Had a little snow on Fri 12/2/2011 but it melted fast. Not too cold but windy, guess that's why the coyotes didn't respond very well.
We made lots of stands and didn't get this one in until mid afternoon. Came running hard to the call after about 10 min. TR was scanning with his bino's and didn't know the coyote was at 25 yards until I barked to stop him for the shot. Colton and I shot at almost the same time and dropped the coyote but didn't finish him so TR finally ended it. We did the fist bump thing to signify the (almost) triple.
Later that same day we called one more to TR and Colton's side and good ol' TR held off the shot and Colton made a perfect chest shot and dropped this big male at 99 yards. Colton is about 5' 7" for reference and we guessed he was about 35 lbs.
We got another snow Fri nite so Sat should have been good but the coyotes didn't think so. We killed two by 8 am and never saw another all day. Saved them for another trip.
