I spotted another coyote in the pasture this morning while I was working a field called my wife and told her to bring the green rifle case.Then the darn coyote disappeared and reappeared a little later. I think there is a low spot somewhere in the middle of the pasture where they lie down .I got a good rest on an old corn planter on the edge of the pasture held high shoulder and let the 40 gr vmax fly..whoop!

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but you didn't hit him. It looks like you missed him so badly that he literally "bust his gut" laughing at you 
Just don't ask how I would know

You can hop but you can't hide. Yahi Bowmen. Its not how far you can shoot but how close to the game you get when you shoot. Sights we don't need any sights. Why waist time reloading when I can be making arrows.

My plan is to leave the local coyotes alone and just go calling on the other places I have .So far my plan has been failing me.

Are you sure it's a coyote? LOL (j.k.)
Anyway, nice shooting. Looks like you improved the gene pool.

This one wasn't nasty the fur was fine I had to drag him 250 yards out of the pasture he is just full of dirt.This pasture has area's of alkalie with no grass.
I am going to move up to a 50 gr vmax it will do a better job on them.
I am making custom drag ropes who wants some.....

Fakawee where have you been doing lately are you still hunting ?

No way, that there is the expen$ive baling twine, way too rich for my bloodI am making custom drag ropes who wants some.....
So let's see, in the last week or so you had one dog that was soaked, and now one dog that looks like a furry dirt clod. What's next? You gonna shoot one with a flaming arrow so we get to see a dog on fire this week?!

OK, gotta wipe the iced tea off the screen now! Too funny. That's a good lookin piece of machinery you got there. But you need to wash it, it is almost, not quite, as dirty as my truck (inside and outside)

Good job with the yote. If it were me I wouldn't wash the rig, it helps him blend in with his surrounding's. Wish I had a job that let me shoot anything during a lunch hour.
