Windy, 3 legged coyote down
I walked in from the farm house with the wind in my face just before first light. I cut right across the middle of the field and headed right to the tree stand. I figure with the strong winds I would position myself up high to watch the overgrown old orchard on my left and big hey field on my right. I setup my caller/decoy about 45 yds out. I walk over to my stand; tie my gun up on the rope so it could be pulled up. Climb the stand, get my gear ready, turn on my caller/decoy, lift my gun up and before I could un-tie the rope from the gun, I see a coyote standing in the field looking at my decoy. Now I haven't even turned on the sound yet nor loaded my gun. I gentle pull the bolt open, slide a bullet in and point it toward the coyote.
It must have been in the far end of the field or just dumb luck had this guy just out of sight of me. I gave a couple kissing sounds, he came closer and then started running toward the decoy. I yelled out "wolf" as he neared the decoy, he stopped and I took the shot. He spun a few times, and ran/limped off looking really hurt.
I continued to call over the next 45 minutes but nothing else showed.
This coyote only had 3 legs. The missing leg below the knee was completely healed and it didn't look like it was slowing him down as he was in good shape.
3 legs only, I put a stick to help show where his leg was supposed to be

Kill them all. A dead coyote is a good coyote.

That's pretty cool Frank! It may sound silly but I'd consider that a trophy due to it's anomaly.

Way to go Frank. You're really piling them up lately. Keep up the good work.

Great shooting. Which caller decoy do you use?

Lots of hand calls too... Mainly scream out with my hand calls, using the e-caller and decoy to keep their eyes off me...

Re: Windy, 3 legged coyote down
Nice going!
It was suggested that coyote donors from B.C. to Ontario should send carcasses to Don at his home. Before you send yours to Don, maybe you could shoot him a P.M. just to confirm his address and that he was going to be home when it would be expected to arrive.
No point in taking chances, you know. The courier might just leave the package sitting on his door step. We wouldn't want it to go to waste if we get a warm spell, or have somebody steal it, either.
