RD 379-235 vs. PA coyote
My son Mike & I spent the morning on a mountain hunting deer but didn't see any. Nearing 8:30 AM I saw movement below me, watched intently and saw a coyote which would pass directly below me if he didn't change course. Since I was expecting him below and about 40 yds. away, he suddenly pops up just 25 yds. below with his front feet on a log while he checked the air for scent. I was shooting my Marlin 38-55 CB conversion offhand and put the Ranch Dog bullet just a bit to the left of center. At the shot he went backwards (downhill) and out of my sight. Dropping down to check it out I was really surprised to find it was a male in excellent condition, with a full coat. Most coyotes we see here have mange and are really ragged-looking specimens. So, at 70 yrs of age I have killed my first coyote! Later Mike skinned it and will save the hide.

Good shooting, that's one less coyote to hurt the fawn population next year

He looks really good.........................as a dead coyote with a rifle on top of him!
"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." (Ronald Reagan)
