[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 225304, member: 1403"] Yah I was kinda upset I got that close and didn't hit him. But oh well, its all good fun!! I really need to get that ACI fixed before I get a shot at a bear or big buck. If I miss one of them, I'll be a little more mad then a coyote. Especially when I paid $150 for the thing and it doesn't seem to hold up to real well to the recoil of the 338 EDGE. Kinda dissappointed... He had no idea where the shot came from. He was smart enough not to stick around though, LOL. If he woulda stuck around for a 2nd shot, I woulda held at his feet, and I bet he woulda got a 300g SMK right to his dome. He straight booked it to the nearest brush patch and didn't look back once! His buddy actually ran down the knob towards us, but he to was booking it to the nearest brush patch which was about 600 yards below us. He stopped for a brief second, jumped up on his hind legs to see where his buddy was, but then it was off to the races again, LOL. Actually quite funny to watch. Yah those 75's are hell on yotes, also your barrel to!! I've shot a few yotes with them over the years and if they dont exit, the usually leave a splat wound you can put your fist in. Total devastation either way. I dont use a steady diet of them, just shooting them up from what I had loaded in my previous 25-06.
