I sure get a kick out of Gubes posts that he sniped a coyote at his meatsickle from the house. I have been so very eagle eyed to snipe one from my house to.
Today was the day. I spotted him towards the back of the house in the field about 175 +/- yds. He went behind the field tile berm and grabbed a call and snuck out on the deck. I called and got him to take a look. What should have been an EASY shot, my bullet placement stunk. Off he goes after the hit and I could see blood. I go back in the house and wait a bit and decided to take off on the four wheeler. It was a piece of cake to track him, just look for blood. I rode the 4wheeler until I needed to walk. I followed him through a drainage ditch and back up the other side. Then back down he goes, down in the area that a bunch of timber was pushed in . I then start using my flashlight to look down in there and guess who's there, yep the coyote and I can't get to him .
In Christ,

Bad luck Song Dog.
I suffer from the same problem, I get all excited and yank the trigger.
Here's hoping you get some porch shooting success soon.

Re: Lil' Frustrated
Hey Song dog, congrats on smackin that dog from your deck. It sure is great being able to do that from the confines of your own home.
I know a fella about 1 1/2 hours west of me that does the same thing, but his "meatsickle" is about 100 yds from the house and he has taken quite a few wolves this way. I'm a tad jealous cuz we don't have any wolves where I am.

It happens Jason. If one hunts very much, it's bound to happen sometime.
I was wondering, why didn't you crawl down in there with that injured coyote and drag him out? heh, heh.

Enjoy it while you have it, because things will change.

Re: Lil' Frustrated
He was done. So, I did think about attempting to pull him out. Then I thought if my cartilage in my knee locks up down there, it would be horrible trying to get out. I really don't think I could have gotten him out. I was looking for every way to, though.
I did that once before but took a pistol in with me. I just about filled my britches, when that coyote moved he ended up get a few more rounds, THEN I got him out. That was about a couple years ago.
