LAST EDITED ON Nov-02-04 AT 01:47AM (MST)[p] Ok suppose u are driving down the road in your pickup through this massive meadow about a mile across. A coyote crosses the road in front of you fangs showing and snarling at u!!! Say about 45 yards. He is streching leather to get to the other side of the meadow so he can plan his attack on u. Ok well u are well armend with 7 mm rem. Hand loaded with armor percing devistating bullets. A shotgun,45auto,a 7 tcu and a couple light 338's and a .378 alaskan. Well do u take a chance and try to kill the Vermon?? Or do u flea as fast as your truck will go. Well I took my chances with my weapons since my truck won't do much more then 35 mph. So I grab my special 7mag. Due to its long range capibilities! I always figured i was a pretty good shot. I can always hit small trees and big boxs i even hit a rabbit one time with my shotgun. My friend tied him up to a truck and drove really slow. Bad thing is we had to paint my buddies truck. Any way the coyote is putting distance say about 160 meters! Medeoker speed! Straight away. Rested on the hood of the truck! Question am i going to shoot hole in hood of truck. No put the bipod down. Next question lead a running attack coyote. Wait he might stop. 200 yds now and not stopping. question 3 is he ever going to stop. He is getting along ways away. Ah hell i can poke his eye out as long as he stops before he gets 400 yds. Well he wont stop. Ok lets shoot. 300 plus yds he has got to be getting tired. I am getting tired just standing here watching him and the cold is starting to take its toll on me. Could it be hyperthermea. Maybe it is just my age creeping up on me. Do I really stand a chance aginst a coyote?? I can feel dehyderation my stomach is in agony from no food for the better part of an hour. The wind is now howling @ 5 knots and near white out snow fluries!! I am really doing ok till my long time hunting buddie of at least 3 hrs. Slams the truck door. This violant act of disrespect made me realize I really had to get tough if i wanted to survive an attack. I started to think will I ever see my kids again. I have got to make this shot. Quick calculations bullet drop lead 350 plus yds. still running. Don't forget to take a fine bead and your breath. OH yeah and don't forget to squeeze the trigger. Bamm low shot placement. right between the legs. Coyote now in fast mode. My sholder now feels the pain and new hunting buddie said What the heck was that noise. I said what noise he said the noise your gun made it about broke my ear drums. Do they all make that noise he asked. I told him i didn't hear anything. I told him, quick hop in the truck we have to make a run for it. Before the coyote returns. WEll hell we were in a muddy meca truck won't go. I told him to get out and push. But i didn't tell him to stand behind the tire. Oh kewl super glue I found in the glove box. Do u suppose this stuff really works I thought. lets try it out on hunting buddies thermos lid. And a little on his coffee mug handle. Well hrs later he asks when will we see a deer. I said deer don't stand on the freeway. And they really don't like u shooting them when they are. He said look there is a dead one. It looks like it has been hit by a car. He wanted to stop and see what a deer looked like up close. So we stoped it was a fine 2 point it was pretty stiff. So we decided to stand it back up. So everybody could see it. I told him i always wanted to stand up all the dead critters along the road. Wouldn't that be cool to see all the vermon standing alongside the highway. Well we finely made it home and as he was leaving I told him he couldn't keep my coffee mug. Will the coyote ever return?? And will I ever get my touch back.
