The Quad Squad

My wife has been hospitalized for more than a week and my hunting buddy has been having to go it alone. He finally got me the video of his Halloween night hunt.

He calls in a quad and manages to take them all. There was a strong front coming with lots of wind and rain. It was blowing a steady 20-25 mph and gusting higher. Coyote #1 requires 3 shots to put her down. After he shoots her, two more coyotes come charging in. It takes two shots to put #2 down. Another coyote joins the melee and he kills #3, but misses #4 and then clicks on an empty chamber. He didn't have any extra ammo with him, so he rides all the way out to the highway retrieves more ammo and rides back and kills coyote #4 which is still milling around out in the field. Sometimes the stars just align and I reckon you could say he got the Trick and the Treat. Single-handed quads on eastern coyotes don't come easy. He did a fine job of keeping his composure, persevering to the end, and making the quad happen with it blowing a gale. Nicely done, buddy.

Tell your partner congrats on a job well done in the wind. I can't believe that 4th coyote hung out that long. I also hope your wife is OK.
 

Just when you think you have seen it all, then this. I think this deserves a spot in history, hunter of the month for sure.
 
Thank you, my wife is home and doing much better. First time she has been in the hospital in the 41 years we've been married, and hope it is the last.
 
Sorry to hear about your wife, I hope that she is doing better.
I know from personal experience, on the receiving end, being there for your spouse is more important than anything else.
Congrats on your buddies quad.
 
The wind was probably a curse and a blessing as it seemed to mask all the shooting. Quads are very special.
 
The coyotes seemed confused by the shots and I agree it was probably from the wind since he wasn't shooting suppressed. He said he had a terrible time holding steady on his tripod since he was shooting from a standing position, and of course there was the issue of the wind deflection.
