The Nor'easter Coyote

The wind shifted to the Nor'east this afternoon and cooled things off from the mid-90's that we had recently. That had the predators moving tonight, foxes, raccoons, possums, bears, and coyotes. Unfortunately we had a pair of coyotes that were working to us which managed to put the "who do" on us while calling a sod farm. Came home sort of dejected about that, but about an hour later I decided to scan the field here behind my house. Low and behold there was a coyote crossing the field behind my pond, and just as he got downwind of the bait pile his nose picked up the scent. He turned and started working toward the scent. Unfortunately he was also getting close to my downwind also, so I took the shot before he could wind me. I'll have to put the range finder on it tomorrow, but I'm guessing somewhere between 165 and 180 yds. This is another large male. We are not seeing any pups, only big mature coyotes.
