Killed this nice pair last night. My hunting partner didn't make the trip, so I had to do it alone. They came right down the field road to me, but I let the lead coyote, female, get too close. I hit her low, but parts flew off her in all directions. Then I missed the easy shot on the male at about 125 yds. by rushing the shot.

He ran some more but stopped again at 200 yds. This time I was ready for him and made a heart shot. When I looked back for the female she was gone. It took me a few seconds to relocate her at 290 yds. I made a finishing shot on her zoomed to 2x or 6 power.

Congrats on the double! I really enjoyed that slow motion replay, really cool! You got lucky that coyote stopped after the miss, good follow up.

Good vid. With your history of running kills l was surprised he wasn’t killed before he stopped

I agree!

Another moving shot. You are a braver (or better) shot than I. Nice video and congrats.

Clean up on aisle 6 and 9, nice shooting.

Was that a helicopter off in the distance?

Thanks guys and yes, a helicopter in the sky background.

That was great, living up to your moniker DoubleUp!

Great job, congrats.

Thank you both for the comments.

Way to stick with it.

Great job. The male got good exercise running circles before going down.

Thanks again for the comments. Yes, it is amazing how far they can go with their heart shot out.

Did the helicopter seem to bother the coyotes? I ask because last night the army must have been doing maneuvers in my area with a lot of low flying. I didn't see any coyotes.

No, but a jet came by a couple of minutes before and set the coyotes off howling on the way to me.
