Saturday morning coyote
 
I got to the farm this morning just before light, setup and waited for legal shooting time before I started calling. It took about 5 minutes before this male coyote came out looking for that dying rabbit. He was making his way toward the decoy when he spotted me moving (shifting over for the shot/aligning my shooting sticks/gun up).
He stopped for a second looking at me and must have decided to err on the side of caution, so turned and started heading back toward the bush. I yelled out wolf a couple of times to try and get him to stop but he would not.... So I took a shot on him while he was still moving and with luck on my side he dropped in his tracks. Mind you it was only an 80yd shot but hitting a moving coyote isn't all that easy, heck I miss them standing still from closer..... He turned out to be good looking (nice coat on him) male.

The setup/my view

How it played out...Coyote starts off 170yds out, runs toward the decoy, sees me move and decides to head back toward the bush.
