I got this bad boy yesterday morning while out for deer
My first coyote, he was a healthy male with a good coat and no sign of mange
I hit him at 40 yards as he stopped and looked away from me presenting a perfect shot opportunity. I hit him with a Excalibur Firebolt with 90 grain brass insert, luminock and Xact broad head, when I hit him he ran in a circle nipping at himself where the arrow penetrated and then ran aprox 150 yards (Tuff S.O.B.) I am guessing that he weighed in around 45 to 50lbs.

Nice work! That's a stocky looking dog. I read somewhere about that young singer that was killed a couple of years ago in Canada by a pack of coyotes. The author of the article said that the Eastern coyote is breeding with the wolf and the hybrid is making for a nasty critter.

GREAT SHOT!!! Thats better than a buck any day of the week. I say KILL ALL coyotes as they are our biggest problem against the fawns and it isn't going to get any better.

No kidding! I shot one several years ago that had been chasing a button buck and had him down getting ready to kill him...... before the "Big58cal" muzzleloader barked. Mine was full grown, but wasn't anywhere near that size!
Congrats on taking that fawn killing machine out of the woods!!! Go get some more now! The only good coyote is a dead coyote!
