Here's one from today.
It was very windy this morning so I went to the downwind side of a treed fenceline. I set up on a well used coyote trail near a hog farm and after 20 minutes of glassing a couple coyotes just inside the trees 200 yard to the east of me, I figured it was time to get them out in the open. Fired up the Foxpro with some pup yelps and that did the trick. I could see a number of coyotes funnel out of the bush and ended up having a group of six coyotes coming down the trail. There was also a seventh coming across the field from the south but the group was much closer.
There was two really nice coyotes in the group and I picked the closest one(125 yards), settled the cross hairs on its chest and squeezed the trigger to only hear a faint click..... Frozen firing pin I believe.
The coyotes hear the click also and are high tailing it back to the bush as I scrambled to load another round. Get the cross hairs on the back coyote and drop it at close to 200 yards but unfortunately it was a scruffy coyote!
