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.

Shoot better!!!!

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....... h.h.

Please DON'T!

Please DON'T!

Hey now.... like they need anymore ideas!!! Don't worry Bo.

h.h.

Now that Ive slept on it maybe the AR's aren't such a good idea........LOL 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.

My dads got an AR. Its his...no worries. Your are probably right 76chevy...at least I know there was just an open field for a ways away.

Yaz...you okay...didn't write anything...
