[QUOTE="Vettepilot, post: 2916106, member: 114372"] I once, as a kid, had "almost not enough" gun on a coyote. I was out on my dirt bike, hunting rabbits and rattlesnakes. Had a 22 rifle slung on. I was riding cross country, and came across two coyotes. I took off after them. They split up, and I stayed on the one with a rabbit in his mouth. He soon dropped it! I would ride up on him, right until I thought he was going to bite me, then I would slam on the brakes, grab the rifle, and start hosing wildly. After two revolutions of this, I thought to myself, "You know, it doesn't matter if he gets 3 or 4 steps farther away, if you just calm down and [B][I]hit[/I][/B] him!!" So I calmed down and the next time, just as I was about to squeeze off the shot, he jumped a drainage ditch onto a road. I thought "Ok, when he jumps the next ditch, I'll shoot". I did, and he died in the air!! The shot went in under his mouth, and out through the top of his head! It was a wild shot that I'll never be able to repeat. I tanned the tail, and gave it to my brother for his bicycle. This was 50 years ago, not far from Pearce-Sunsites, in southeast Arizona. May I ask where you nailed yours? Vettepilot [/QUOTE]
