We went to one of our favorite fields tonight. Four coyotes were in the field as we were setting up, but we only saw two at first. I started playing Babe Cottontail and eventually got the sound up loud enough for them to hear it. Three of them started coming to us. We had agreed that since I killed the last one, my hunting partner would get first shot. I held off on a perfect shot at 50 yds. and his rifle clicked on the other coyote. The primer was not touched so apparently the firing pin didn't fall.
Anyway, he recyled his AR twice and managed to kill his coyote. I took a long running shot and missed. We still had a coyote in the field and our patience and persistence paid off. He eventually worked his way back into range and I killed him while he was walking. He was about 30 yds. beyond the other coyote.
Here is the pair after we picked them up. A double is always nice, but it could have been a triple without the misfire.
