First Coyote for myself and the 204
shortly after dinner and while sippin a whiskey i spyed this fine looking dawg sneeking threw one of the old mans cow pastures. the sun was an hr or so from setting. So i slipped into a good shooting position without her noticing me. once she cleared the cows she was on her way out of view. So i gave a yip. she stopped dead in her track broadside about 175yds. the 204 barked followed by that o so familiar WOP!! then rest is history.

Nicely done ! What bullet were you using ?
The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving. - Ulysses S. Grant (1822-85)

Re: First Coyote for myself and the 204
Was there much damage to the hide? By the looks of the pics there doesn't seem to be much destruction. Was the yote standing broadside and where was it struck?

no destruction at all. one little hole a little smaller than my my pinkie finger just behing the right front shoulder kinda high no exit. yes it was a broadside slightly quartering away shot. i figure the bullet was stopped by the opp. side shoulder blade.walleyeman wrote:Was there much damage to the hide?

Hey, what type of bi pods are those on your gun? and do they swivel and how long can they extend out to. What bullet were you using
Thanks, Brad
