While in a deerstand this morning about 7:30am this coyote came in fast, she ran across a small clearing into the bush. I whistled and she stopped for a 40-50 yard shot. I fired and she ran into some very thick stuff. The blood trail was 1 foot wide and about 20 yards long. The rifle is a weatherby vanguard in 257wby , 100grain hornady sp.  | ||

A 257 Roy on coyotes at 50 yards? I'm surprised that you could pick it up without a shovel!

Congrats on a great kill. Next years fawn crop should thank you! Gotta love the 257 Weatherby. Free men should not be subjected to permits, paperwork and taxation in order to carry any firearm. NRA Benefactor | |||

I have shot both fox and coyote with the 100gr, 25cal Hornady and unless contact is made with the spine or other major bones damage is quite minimal- I don't think there is enough tissue to trigger expansion to any great degree. www.duanesguns.com | |||

 Also taken on Rug's farm during deer season, I think we need to do a little off season yote hunting. How'd these things get across the Mississippi anyway? | |||
