[QUOTE="rosborohunter, post: 740323, member: 39401"] I told you I would share a story, so here goes. Instead of the Savage, Santa brought me a CZ 455 Varmint in 22wmr. Last Saturday, I set up on a power line between two 4 year old pine plantations. My call was app 60 yards in front of me and because of the briars and other ground cover, my shots were either going to be in my lap or at 100 yards. I took a seat on a stump and was using my knee as a rest. After 5 minutes of Cottontail DSG out of my Foxpro, I see a coyote trotting in from about 250 yards out. He never lets up and if he continues on his current path, I will be busted, so I woof him to a stop in a clearing. Try as I may, I could not keep the crosshairs on his head so I pull down on his chest and squeeze. At the shot, he bucks and runs into the plantation at full speed. I can hear him crashing through the thicket and then sudden silence. After the shot, I continue to call but have no more takers. I walked to the place he was standing and find hair, but no blood. After tracking and searching for some time, I decided to head out for another stand. From my experience, that crashing I heard followed by sudden silence equals dead animal. However, I never found it. I was very troubled by the events, but only because I did not bring along a suitable rest. I hope to give some better stories soon. [/QUOTE]
