This coyote fell to my .375 H&H with cast this afternoon at about 50 yds. (There's an excellent thread already going re cast in the Holland; I didn't want to hijack that. Lot's of good information there.)
My old arthritic shoulder doesn't tolerate recoil from full power loads so well any longer. With milder cast loads, I can still enjoy the No. 1.
Beauiful rifle, good job on the pest control!

That gives me ideas for employing my .458 Lott - if the gunsmith ever finishes it!

YAY, a dead yote! Good job!
I have only killed one yote with cast and I walked up on him at 50 yards carrying my model 67 38 spl. And he was dumb enough to shoot at him 3 times.
We had one killed in front of my house the other night. A big ole Gip, no doubt pregnant.
I came into this world kicking, screaming, and covered in someone elses blood. I plan to go out the same way.
Hmmm....cast boolit coyote....methinks I smell a project.

Nice job and gorgeous rifle!

Nice yote, and great looking rifle. I've always wanted to shoot a yote, but yet to have a chance.
Very nice! That's a beautiful rifle as well.

Coyotes are tough, but it seems a 3/8" boolit does the trick.

one more dead one .. great job ..
I have killed 4 coyotes in my front yard before I got dogs, Used ole 22 mag but that's nothin compared to that big H&H.
That's a good coyote now.
Oh, No! I was way undergunned with my 7.62x39.
This one was taken on the opening day of last deer season with a 165 grain FP from a Mountain Mold.
Talked to the local fur buyer a couple days ago. He told me he averaged $96.00 straight across on all grades for coyotes at the first NAFA sale of the season last season. I got my furs in for the last auction of the season this month. I hope to do as well. I sent some nice fur. Around here coyotes aren't something to just be killed but there is a season for harvesting them for profit.
$96? Wow I havent seen them go for over $40 in a long time.
