Stepped out last night and saw what I thought was a deer lying down out in front of my house. I scanned around, and when I came back across that spot, the deer was instead a coyote eating something. He was on the other side of a "field wire" fence. I have a very bright security light in front, and he kept looking up at me, then back to eating.
The only position I could get to without being busted was about 115 yds away, from
the yote, shooting at a 20 degree angle to the fence. I figured at that narrow angle, I would hit a fence wire and probably miss the yote. But,,,the old man got lucky again. I aimed center mass and it wound up hitting him in the gut just ahead of the rear ham. The 123 sst made a terrible mess on the exit. The fawn was one I had seen where I feed'em in the evenings. He had "food impaction" and apparently the arterial worms that cause it made him weak and sickly. I don't know if the yote killed it, or found it dead. First time I had seen anything like this. Pictures are nasty, so beware.
