I wish I could say I called this one in, but my neighbor seen it out in the field and it appeared to be digging at something. As it turns out, it had killed 2 fox squirrels and was tearing them apart.
Anyway, I grabbed my Savage 11-VT, in .243 Win., put a few of my reloaded 75gr. Hornady V-Max rounds in it and ran outside. The coyote was occupied with eating the squirrels, so I leaned against a couple of barrels, aimed center mass on the chest and squeezed off the shot. The coyote dropped in its' tracks at the shot, so I walked out to claim my prize.
I stepped off 190 paces from the coyote to the barrels. I love this rifle! The bullet never made an exit hole, so all of the energy of the 75gr. V-Max was displaced inside the coyote, at 3300 f.p.s. The next purchase for this rifle is going to be a bi-pod!
