Told my grandsons I'd take them out to the hayfield with me while I did some groundhog hunting.well they ended up talking me into a BB gun and ballon shoot after the hunt.As we walked up to a roundbale of hay I was shocked to see 2 coyote's walking in the field about125yds out,told boys get down! Loaded my #1 30-06 with a 125TNT And held crosshairs on front shoulder of what turned out to be 30lb male.The other one made for the woods,before I had chance to reload.The bullet did it's job for sure.I could'nt belive they would be out at 10:00 AM.This is the first time I ever had a chance to shoot a coyote.Kids are still bragging Pappy up! And they did great shooting at the ballons.Later I found some lead shot under the coyotes hide,guess he did'nt learn his lesson.By the way,I was hunting in Southwestern PA
Be careful with those thrifty coyotes. I remember watching Roadrunner cartoons, And ole Wiley got some neat stuff from ACME, of course none of it worked. I think I would have tried another company though.
Congrats, Smokeless! You gave those boys something they will never forget. Years from now they will STILL be bragging you up and asking, "Grandpa, do you remember when...?"
