[QUOTE="Deleted member 115360, post: 2256398"] I got an old female this morning, who had clearly been nursing, but had no pups near her. Her nipples were drying up, like she had finished nursing, but she was alone. She answered me alone at about 30 mins before sunrise, (legal shooting time here), and came in really slow. I almost didn't see her. In a sea of green, she came in and laid down on a tall patch of dry dirt that was almost the same color as her fur. She was a smart one, and I felt like she was intentionally using that spot to observe from because it aided in her concealment. I watched her for about 10 minutes, trying to coax her closer, and all she would do is perk up her ears and lay there and watch. Finally, I accepted that she wasn't coming and took her at 308 yards with my new .308 (kind of poetic) that I traded with a member of this forum a couple weeks back. I had to estimate the distance because she had me pegged. If I moved my lips to blow at a mosquito, she perked up, so getting my rangefinder out wasn't an option. I wasnt prepared for a shot at that distance, I left the 6.5prc in the truck, and expected shots under 200y, but when I got into the area in the dark, I set up further from the treeline than I meant to. Anyways, the shot worked out, on a very small coyote laying flat on the ground, so, a very small target. Her canines were broken and worn down. [/QUOTE]
