[QUOTE="justinp61, post: 2081356, member: 35795"] I'm not a coyote hunter by any means but have killed a few over the years when the opportunity presented it's self. The part of W. KY I live in has huge river bottoms, rolling hills and limestone bluffs and some of the best fishing in the country with the Tennessee, Cumberland and Ohio rivers, plus KY lake, Lake Barkley and Smithland Pool in my back yard, a sportsman paradise IMHO. Until I had shoulder surgery in 2011 I bow hunted a lot, turkeys and deer. In the last week of October 2010 I was hunting my brothers small farm. I was in a wooded area about 30 yards from the corner of a four acre field. The deer would cross the field, come through the small wood lot I was hunting and cross to a neighbors property. A nice buck was coming across the field in my direction with his nose on the ground, I had already picked up my bow and was ready for a shot if one was presented. The deer was about 100 yards from me when he suddenly stopped and looked down the field. The hairs on his back stood up and he ran back the direction he came, stopping in the edge of the field from me. He stood there and watched then bounded away. The way he acted I didn't think it was a more dominant deer that caused him to run so I was somewhat bumfuzzled. Just as I was going to hang up my bow I caught a movement in the field, coyote! He was about the place where the deer had been when he ran and was traveling at a trot. I mouse squeaked on the back of my hand, he stopped and looked my direction. He was about 40 yards and wide open but I knew if I moved he'd bust me so I didn't move. He stood for what seemed like minutes then started moving again. As he did I started turning towards the corner of the field. When I was set I squeaked on the back of my hand again. He turned and ran into the woods, bad mistake. My Carbon Express 300 hit him behind the shoulder, he turned about three circles and lay still. I've killed deer, turkeys and ground hogs with a bow but this coyote is my most prized kill. I know this isn't very impressive compared to most stories already posted but I'll never forget it. [/QUOTE]
