Finally got one!!!
Well it was a beautiful day, crisp and with a blue bird sky. Started out really nice and cool, but started to warm up too soon. I saw what I thought was a farm dog coming in from my left. It took me three stops for me to verify she was a coyote.
It was only a few days into gun season and I was using my Kimber 84M in .338 Federal and she didn't go far after I hit her. This is the third coyote I have seen in the woods this year, but the firs time for a good shot. I asked the little woman if I could get it mounted and she said, "NO!" Oh well, she did have a nice pelt. She weighed in at 45lbs.
Would have like to take her during muzzle season!!!

Way to go!! I haven't seen any here in couple years, but I know they are here just the same. Only one I ever saw I also thought it was someone's dog...it was watching me too, (during rifle season with blaze orange on).

Nice job! I haven't seen one while hunting in a the last few years. I've been lucky enough to get a shot and kill every one I've seen while hunting, except 1. I have one that looks alot like yours mounted, weighed 45lbs also.
Good work!
Good work!

I hung a deer head in my family room when my wife was out of town. It was WAR for 2 weeks. Been hanging since and that was in 2004.
