[QUOTE="Len Backus, post: 786891, member: 1"] Then we spotted one across the canyon and it was my turn to shoot. I killed it and it was time for one of us to walk down our hill and up the far hill over there while the other brought the truck down to the bottom. Troy glassing [ATTACH]20095.vB[/ATTACH] I found my trophy up high on the other side. But as I looked down the slope toward it, I decided its final resting place was a little sketchy to get to and left it there to enjoy a final peaceful moment in the afternoon sun. [ATTACH]20096.vB[/ATTACH] Later that afternoon Troy called in a coyote that hung up in the brush about 300 yards out. His partner was out at 625 lying down on its den. After trying for a while to get it to stand up I took the shot in a switching wind. Lost my concentration at the last moment and hadn't noticed the wind change. Missed it. Later that evening walking back to the truck we saw the moon coming up. [ATTACH]20097.vB[/ATTACH] The next morning we called and had a couple groups respond at once, too far away. So we moved in on them and tried again but they weren't having any part of it. Some of the surrounding areas had been flown by a government hunter just days earlier and the survivors are wary. This was some of the prettiest land I've hunted coyotes on. [ATTACH]20098.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]20099.vB[/ATTACH] This fall I'll be on a LRH Group Elk Hunt and the outfitter says that one of the best shooting opportunities may involve a seated shot from shooting sticks on the side of a canyon. So I am working at perfecting my cross-canyon technique. [ATTACH]20100.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
