Coyote vs 3.5" #5 Hevi Shot
Coyote lost. Had one try to slip up on my strutting tom and hen decoys this am right before fly down, 2 gobblers were close and had cut me off on some light clucks. I thought about just scaring it off, but i then realized (maybe)why the turkeys in the area had been real skittish[:@], so at 30 steps Mrs. Coyote was hammered. That heavi shot is brutal, knocked her backwards and stone dead. believe it or not, one gobbler still responded about 15 min later, but soon shut up and i'm guessing was henned up. The other gobbler that i never heard from was much closer and was in the area where they almost always fly into the field first, guess the blast spooked him...
Whats strange is i left the dekes and the coyote in the field (edge) as i could drive to the area, and i went to run an errand on the farm when i left, and when i came back 30 min later, 3 deer were feeding no more than 20 yds from the dead coyote, guess deer aren't too scared of coyotes??
