On my way to elk camp I decided to squeeze in a stand. It was mid morning and the thermals had switched up for the day. I set up with sun at my back. Less than ideal set up with a blind draw coming up under me but you make do with what you got.
At 24 minutes I noticed magpies working up the draw and then began squawking 50 yd to my downwind side. Looking closely I noticed a coyote's head through the tall grass. It was attempting to catch my wind which it's soon did. As it began a hasty retreat I let one fly. Quickly lost sight of it so I never saw it go down. I switched things up and 3 minutes later this female appeared across the draw at the top of the ridge at 198 yards out. One shot and she was finished. ][/url]
