This morning I am in my shed that is located about 100 yards behind my house at the back of the woods which over looks my marsh,I hunt deer from this shed. I look over on my neighbor's property at a small patch of woods that is about 300 yards away and I see a coyote hanging around that little woods. About 20 minutes later coming on a dead run right at my shed is this big red coyote, this happens so quick I haven't got time to react as he runs about 8 feet away heading toward my house. This is where it gets crazy........the coyote runs right up to and stops on my front porch. I jump out of the shed with the 50cal and here he comes again past me on a dead run heading back to that patch of woods. Now I know I don't have a snowballs chance in hell of hitting him on a dead run but I at least want him to know I live in that house and that I own a gun so I cranked off a round at him at about 175 yards. If I thought he was on a dead run the first 2 times he passed me now he was defiantly running at a ludicrous speed of mach something. As he passed that woods a second coyote ran out and figured he better joined him as they were headed for the next county. The only reason I could think of that would attract him to my porch is because we have allowed a stray cat to hang around our house in an effort to keep the mice from chewing the wires on the engine of our car.

A couple of years ago I had a coyote coming from the grove of trees behind our house and grabbing pears on the ground underneath our Bartlett pear tree. I watched him do that a couple of times while I was standing at our kitchen window. So I grabbed the 835, which still had the turkey choke in it. which just meant I HAD to grab HEVI shot round. I was standing at the slightly open garage walk-in door the next he came out and grabbed another pear....he died with the pear in still in his mouth. 35 yards with HEVI shot and a turkey choke is definitely deadly on coyotes!!!
Go get 'em!!!!
