[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 586623, member: 23486"] Would you believe the best/luckiest shot I made on an animal was with a handgun? lol October, deer hunting on the Duck Creek Ranch IIRC (buddies place). We were on the way back to the truck, lazily walking down a draw at midday, well we flush a coyote out of the sagebrush. Being half asleep & three quarters not paying attention, the only thing offering offense to the 'yote would be the size of our eyes. On this particular day I decided not to carry my rifle, just my trusty Desert Eagle chambered in .50AE :D. Who needs a rifle with a Mastadon stomper right? So my partner & I both offer unkind words as the offending party hits the edge of the draw at full tilt. Well now that we are almost paying attention, I decide to draw my trusty cannon and we ever so slowly creep towards the last known position of our sworn enemy. Nothing, as usual...$%*! coyotes anyhow... for whatever reason I decide to not holster the ~6lb monster slayer & creep forward in my best dangerous game stalk ala Peter Capstick.... Movement! At 15yds out of a brush the size of a VW the coyote bolts full speed at a 45 degree angle from left to right, ears pinned back, tail tucked in and shaped like a rocket (moving about the same speed). Instinctively, the Desert Eagle comes up from the low ready position as an extention of my arms (you need both with that cannon), as soon as the dog hits my sight picture the pistol moves to the right to lead the dog like a gigantic fuzzy sporting clay as the recoil suprises even me! The fawn killer acts as if he hits a tripwire doing a full summersault skidding to a stop on it's back in an almost Shakespearian conclusion.. I'd caught the critter in the area of his last rib with a 300grn Speer Gold Dot hollow point at ~35yds, which to date, remains one of the messiest coyote kills i've ever seen.... Hey... you wanted a story! My luckiest by far, but good read anywho... [/QUOTE]
