I was walkin out to put a new trailcam on a tree on the farm. I stopped while I was walking up the mountain to catch my breath. I heard footsteps around the hill and I turned around to see what it was. When I turned around I saw a yote walkin through the brush about 15 yards below me. I always carry a sidearm on me because I am a police officer, and this day was no different. Me and the yote saw each other at about the same timethough and I tried to draw my Springfield XD .45 but by the time it was out of my holster he was high tailing it the other way. I fired one round at him but hit right below him. I would have like to have killed that guy but hopefully he'll think twice before he tries to come back on the farm haha

To bad it got away, may be you'll get another shot at it

you gotta start carryin a shotgun, a little slower to the draw, but they have that good wide pattern, hard to miss something

yeah the only reason that I didn't have another weapon was because I wasn't even planning on seeing any animals. It was 2 in the afternoon and I was just going out to put up my trailcam and walk out of there. The guy caught me off guard haha

They seem to always catch me off guard. Darn things are so smart and sly.

I never walk the woods or fields with out either a rifle or shotgun. You never know what you might come across. I even have one close by when I go prospecting as I am usually way out in the hills, and it isn't for claimjumpers.
