Coyotes

[CattleHauler]

At the end of the day today as I was driving in from the dairy and I seen 2 spots over in the pasture just walkin real slow...my 1st thought was they was somebodies dang dogs...well, something ate 2 of our chickens the other night...so I figured it might have been them "dogs" I was lookin at...so I was gonna shoot at them anyways...well I get out and look through the scope and it's 2 dirty little f****** coyotes...they was probably 250-275 yards away so I aimed in on the bigger one...and pulled off a shot...looked down there and it's running off...well I didn't figure i'd hit it from that distance anyways cause it was really far off but I was still pissed off and i'm standin there cussin to myself when I hear my girlfriend say "holy s***...I could've sworn you were gonna miss!"...so I looked back out there and the little coyote it laying there dead ...well I try to play it off like I meant to shoot that one but the g/f caught on too fast...she realized I tried to shoot the other one and missed when I looked back down there real fast after she said something about it...haha...well I sure as hell feel lucky for hittin one of them at least...haha...and "my scope is still off a little bit"...or at least that's what I had to tell my g/f before she'd stop makin fun of me...funniest part was I had to brace myself up with one of my crutches and I used the other as a gun stand ...haha

Well here the ol' yote is anyways...it's got a hell of a coat for summertime...last one I shot a few weeks ago was a mangy lookin little b******

I hate them...and I am suprised I hit it at all...consider it was probably 3-5 feet in front of the one I was shooting at...haha...pure luck...but don't the saying go "it's better to be lucky than good"?

Nice kill.. Maybe that was the big one?

I left the shop door up about 8" the other night because it was hot. The motion alarm went off about 5 am yesterday. I got the dog up and went out to the shop and opened the small door, looked in and didn't see anything. About that time the dog wheeled and what I thought was a small coyote came out under the big door and ran over to the fence with the newfoundland hot on it's tail.

That thing went over the 6' chain link fence so fast and not losing a stride. About that time I realized it was a little bobcat, no chance to get a shot off.

Newfi just stood there smelling the fence..

No, I watched the big one run off after I pulled the shot off...haha

You gotta watch them bobcats, I had one of my heelers take off after a bobcat one day...that bobcat turned around and put a hurtin on my dog...haha...dog eventually killed it but took plenty of stitches and plenty of time being tested for rabies after that...and while we're talkin about bobcats...I remembered something funny...I had a drill sergeant that used to always tell me "Boy, unless you ever jacked off a bobcat with a handful of ****leburrs, i'd advise you not to f*** with me"...haha...I always thought that was funny as hell

Yep, I'm glad she didn't tangle with that cat.. When she was a puppy some coyotes (pack of 3) tried to take out the puppies in the garage. Her dad, big newfi about 150 pounds broke one coyotes neck and took off after the others. To this day she wants a coyote for lunch..

I still remember my drill sargents funny sayings after 35 years or so. He also had some good ones too.
