last night... - 04/08/2014 03:42 PM

Monday night we got home from a 4H meeting and saw a coyote out in the field. Turned out that it was heading for a dead goat somebody pitched out in front of our woods. We went up to the house, grabbed a shotgun, loaded it with some turkey shells, and went down there to kill it. Of course, my luck, it was completely dark outside (9:30 PM) and I could barely see a thing. All of a sudden I see the coyote going at full speed at about 40 yards away. I aimed and shot. This morning the goat was gone so I figured the coyote had come back later on and got it which means I probably didn't hit it. Though I might share my story and see if there were any good tips to kill that coyote.

50 yards with turkey loads is a bit on the lite side for ammo on a yote. Get some #4 buck shot for coyotes and keep shots 50 yards and under with a shotgun. I suggest you and Luke get AR's with 30 round clips and put a tracer every 5th round....... eek wink h.h.

Just some friendly advice for you.

Shooting when you can't see a thing is not a good idea. Always know your target and what is behind it.

Once you pull that trigger, you can never take the shot back.
