azhuntnut Report post Posted August 4, 2009 I was out with my buddy Ben on Saturday morning when we found some muley does. We thought it would be cool to call them in to us. They had gotten to within forty yards when I noticed a coyote coming across the field. My attention instantly turned towards him. I couldn't move to get my rangefinder out, so I asked Ben for a range on him. He thought the coyote was about 500 yards. I got a good rest and let the first shot fly, and then followed up with the second, third, fourth, and finally the parting fifth shot. As you can see in the video the coyote was actually less the 500 yards. By my fourth shot I was leading him by two feet and you can see the dust in the background shows that I was still a foot or more behind him. They sure do run alot faster than you think. I had switched my ammo that morning from .223 69 grain MK's to 55 grain v-max's. But there shouldn't be hardly any differance in ballistics at that range. We actually called in three coyotes while calling the deer. It was still fun trying to hit him, and I learned that I need to lead them a little bit more at that speed, and at least put a rangefinder on them when they are sitting still for me.

azhuntnut Report post Posted August 5, 2009 I welcome any other members to post a video of themselves killing a coyote on the run at that distance. The reason I posted this was to show just how much you need to lead a animal moving at that type of speed. Its not easy by any means. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigBfever Report post Posted August 5, 2009 I guess the saying is a little better when it comes to bird hunting, but its better to be missing then not shooting at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
