Coyote "Cat"astrophe

I had pictures of a pair of coyotes in the field behind my home on Friday night. Last night the big male with the long legs returned early around 9:30. The long legs didn't help although he did run across two cuts. I double lunged him. I had to shoot him earlier than I preferred as he was about to get two of the neighbor's kittens that were on the bait pile with their mother. Video is posted below. Here is Mr. Longlegs.

Squeezed it between the branches, nice shot. Coyotes are really tough on cats. It might have gotten them all.
 
I don't think the kittens would have stood much chance. I knew he was hit hard because I heard the bullet slap, but was surprised he ran that far before folding up.
 
That was a long legged cuss.

We have a few cats, and I always figured a coyote would get one but in 8 years here haven't lost one yet. Our big (neutered) tom cat weathered 3 weeks out one time, during some snow and even sub-zero weather. I would love to have a gps to trace his route sometime.

Anyway, great shot and good job saving the kitties!
