[QUOTE="windypants, post: 2760588, member: 121068"] Well, I was still on a roll this morning. I headed out at daylight and spotted the first coyote right after leaving the house. I had to close the distance on foot by about 800 yards. Then I whiffed it at 645 yards. That should have been an easy shot for this rifle, but I had just changed scopes and I didn't get my zero right. I hiked over there so I could see exactly where I hit, and then lowered my zero by 2 clicks. Then I went back up to the neighbors calving ground, thinking that I would hunt another direction. Right away I saw 3 coyotes near where I had shot the last two, and another one up on the ridgetop. I watched them a while and it looked like they were going to stay put, so I headed that way. I was already tired from the deep (in places) crusted snow, but I couldn't pass that up. As I was approaching my shooting position an hour later, wondering if they were going to still be there, they howled for me. Beautiful! I got set up and was looking them over to decide which one to shoot first. Two were bedded at 452 yards and one was just returning from a short hunt (hence the howling). Then one got up and started toward the other bedded one, and it got up. So I settled my sight on it and waited. The other one walked in front of it and I finished my squeeze and drilled them both with one shot! I couldn't believe my luck! The coyote fight call didn't stop the third one this time.
