Less than 5mins there he was beside me at 15yds!
Let him move out to about 35, swung my rifle around, soft barked, he spun to look back....... and that's when he lost his mind! 😲 😁

Holy Canines, that's a huge dog...congrats on putting him out of commission. He's a fawn eater no more.

And it resulted in one happy cattle farmer! 👍
He said, "You come on back tomorrow and kill another one!" LOL
I told him that I'd give it a couple days rest, then come back and give it another try.

This yote would have made for a nice mount, or another nice Euro (he had serious fangs on him)...... but that 55gr 22-250 JHP ruined both options! 😁
