Took the curs out hunting with a buddy of mine. Got set up at at sun up, set up put the cur dogs behind me and got them settled in, Bobby was about to start calling and I noticed... a coyote watching us? :shock: ... Bobby started calling with me whispering stop! Stop!.... I'm guessing that I misjuged the distance to the coyote by at least 50 yards, I was guessing about 300... the arrow is where she was.
Well after the shot she turned and ran up the hill, I noticed with a limp. I sent the curs out (they didn't see her) but Dan seemed to hit her trail and the curs disappeared over the hill leaving us a long way behind. They got about 600 yards ahead and after 10 or 15 mins came back. :? wondered if I'd made a good shot and it was dead, so we followed the "bread crumb" trail the GPS leaves. We were about to give up we'd walked to the furthest point and Roi started barking and then Dan joined in. Bobby said he saw Dan run by, then Roi, then Dan... wait a min... Then realized the 1st Dan was the coyote, they bayed it up about 80 yards ahead of us under a down cedar. Wish I had it together better at the time as it would've made some great pics and or video. Dan has figured out the end that has teeth and doesn't get a mark on him, Roi's a little rougher and has a few cut's to prove it. Here's where they had her bayed.
Little blurred but show's the action.
I'd made a terrible shot, I hit her in the foot, if it hadn't been for the curs we'd have never recovered & killed this one. My curs are really catching on and doing well.
