Moon Up, Coyote Down

[DoubleUp]

I had to go by myself again tonight. My hunting buddy is hot into fishing right now. I killed this female just as the moon was rising above the trees. Hit her a little low on the first shot, but managed to recover and make a decent running shot to roll her.

Great. Sounds like a pop on the second shot too. That’s some good shooting.

Nice follow up shot ! Looked like you had about a 2’ lead on that shot !

Looks like your corn has been picked already ?

 

[DoubleUp]

Thanks guys, and yes the corn in that field has been picked and the ditch banks mowed. Most of the corn where I hunt has now been picked, but the large majority of this fields still have overgrown ditch banks and high cornstalks.

Well done Owen.

You impress me with your running shots. Well done.

Thank you, but if I had hit her where I should have there wouldn't have been a need for a running shot. Just early season jitters I guess not really settling in before sending one. Last night is the first time I have been able to sit on a stand, and should have made a solid first shot. All the previous kills in September were shooting off the tripod while standing.

Nice shooting. That was a heck of a running shot.

Great shooting! Like seeing those running shots.

Made it look easy but I know those runners aren't! Well done
