That I missed a HUGE coyote this morning. I shot and missed 4 times with my Mini-14 in .223. The worst part was he wasn't more than 25 yds out in front of me in a wide open harvested bean field. Man those things can travel when they see you swinging a rifle there way. He started at 25yds and was gone in seconds.

I should have let him run my buddy over that had the shotgun. Oh well I bet it doesn't happen like that again...

The more you shoot, The faster they go

Next time use an AR and you won't miss

Saw a HUGE coyote last night, just outside Oakland City, IN along hwy 57, he was just watching the cars go by.

im still waiting for you to call me to go ill got out with you any time give me a call

Haven't forgot about you Danny, just a little busy with wrestling right now. Zach, Billy,Nick and Kyle all made it through regionals today and are heading to states next weekend. The m-15 crew looked pretty good today....

good to hear sounds like you might want to move to vassar so your son will be on a winning team lmao just messin with you hope to hear from you in a few weeks to go out hunting

What loads do you use in your .223 in order to save the hide ?? I used 52g hollow point on a fox but the hide was no longer useable to me or the fox !! Thanks, Danny

I shoot 55 grn hollow poits. Not real concerned with hide damage though.

Well DixieDog you were right. Traded off the Ranch rifle and bought a brand new AR (Remington V-15) with a 22" barrel and tonight I called in a big male coyote. One shot and the 50gr V-MAX flopped him right over backwards and he never even flinched. Its amazing what happens when you actually aim.... Heading north tomorrow for some hare hunting and to make a few more calls for coyotes in the morning. I'll try to get a pic posted after I get home tomorrow night. ITS GONNA BE A GREAT WEEKEND!!! Thanks for the advice DixieDog. DannyG the 50 gr v-max performed great with no exit wound. He was facing me and I got him in the neck.

that r-15 is a nice rifle... i have the 18 version with a nikon 2-7 on it... ive put alot of fur on the ground with it.... i havent had time to load for it but it will punch holes with a box black hills 68grain match grade hollow points.... i put 4 coyotes on the ground the first week i had it and none of them even moved when i shot them, no spinning or nothing just DRT....

after buying the r-15, i never pulled the tikka out of the safe.... if you guys want a tach driving ar-15 you need to check out dtech (mike dillon) dedicated technologies online... he is a guru on them.

Using the right gun always helps The AR is tough to beat for a varmint rifle and the V-Max is an awesome varmint bullet. Glad you smacked a yote, that's one less to worry about

Here you go

My favorite kinda coyote, dead. Way to go keep up the good work.
