[QUOTE="Len Backus, post: 230540, member: 1"] [IMG]http://www.longrangehunting.com/images-articles/10-yds.jpg[/IMG] I have been having a fantastic trip out here in the West. Three days of elk photography in Rocky Mountain National Park ([URL="http://www.lenbackus.com/thumbnails.php?album=5"][B][U](see LenBackus.com)[/U][/B][/URL] followed by a 515 yard antelope buck kill (my XP-100 Handgun built by Kirby) with the Specialty Handgun boys including Ernie Bishop and Steve Hugel (sscoyote). But yesterday tops it all. Hunting with Scott Shreve (Sendero_Man), I killed 4 coyotes in eastern Wyoming near Gillette. My first and second kill was actually a double at 191 and 340 yards. My 4th and last kill was over the hood of the truck at 231 yards. My only missed opportunity was a screeching tires-gun on the hood of the truck-into the worst sun I have ever shot-401 yard miss. But my favorite kill (3rd) was the record setter. After a 20 minute set a coyote came in close to my right, only head and shoulders showing above the grass. I whispered- "Scott, do you have the shotgun?", "No", came the reply, "I am going to try to take it left-handed", said I. When the coyote looked away, and moving the gun to my left shoulder and sighting through an 8 power scope with my left eye at 10 yards, I bang-flopped him. When we recovered him there was fresh poop on the ground. We think he had just finished taking a dump, his last! Scott and his coyote calling partner, Jim, have killed nearly 700 coyotes and this is the closest kill Scott has ever been part of --- thus my record! Eat your heart out, goodgrouper! :cool: [/QUOTE]
