Indiana coyote with cast

[Djones]

I was deer hunting a patch of woods next to a couple hundred acres of standing corn. I had my trust 1984 microgrrove 1894 Marlin loaded with 14.5 grains of lilgun with a NOE 360-180 WFNGC.

i didn't see any deer all morning so I got down to head home. While sneaking along to corn field I saw a coyote dash into the corn at about ten yards. There was an old farm lane that runs 1/2 mile along the corn. I stood there for about three minutes and low and behold that yote stuck his head out of the corn at about 150 yards. I already had my little carbine shouldered waiting for the curious coyote to pull this trick. I let a bullet fly and hit him good! He ran about 30 yards.

Nice shot. I'm guessing 35Rem trimmed down to 1.8"

that's the way all coyotes should look....laying dead with a big hole in them

I forgot to say,357 mag! My marlin 35 remington won't chamber the NOE 360-180 wfn. I wish it would.

Good shot! You just know that big boy's been munchin on your deer!

Looks like a great shot. They are curious critters. I got a red fox once coming out of the chicken coop with a hen in his mouth. He also made the mistake of turning around and looking.

Good shot!

What are coyote pelts going for nowadays?
The last one I sold brought $12.00.

Local fur guy won't buy our coyotes. He says they have too much dog in them.

congrats DJONES. I love seeing dead coyotes.
Can't wait to get back out in the woods when I'm off this week. I'll be taking my 629-2 loaded with cast boolits to see if I can get my first deer with a handgun and with cast. I already got a buck and a doe so I will be hunting for a nice fat doe or two as I have some friends that would like some venison but they don't hunt.

Nice shot!

Good shootin! You must have better eyes at that distance.

Lawdog,

my little 1894 357 carbine is a straight shooter with the previously mentioned load. I am very confident with it. I actually never thought the yote was that far away until I found his tracks in the snow where I shot him. The best part is the carbine only wears the factory iron sights!

Thank you!
