I thought mature coyotes were too smart to get shot.

We went out for and early hunt yesterday, and caught this old male by surprise.. One shot from the .220 Swift and 50 gr. BK did the job at about 300 yards..
How do you like Blitzkings in your swift? havent tried them yet. Are they messy?

kendricks, I mostly shot BK's or Vmax anymore.. This coyote wasn't badly damaged.. Shot one earlier in the mth. that took a BK head on.. typical position for a called coyote.. He never moved and the only indication he had been shot was the small patch of blood on the entrance wound.. I like them.. some times I save fur sometimes not.. For a fur gun and general coyote killer, I like it better than the 243.. Never fooled with the 204... If I am going bigger, I step up to a .25-06, .270 or 7mm mag..

Thanks, may have to give them a try. I love my swift and is my favorite calling rifle by a long shot. Have shot .243's, .223, 22-250, for coyotes and always go back to the swift. I try to save all fur, as you can probably guess I dont shoot a .243 much...

so Don, what sucks about your Tab cover? I like mine, but it looks like yours velcros on? Mine slips on, so maybe different versions?

TR, mine slips on and has little bungie cords wrapping it thru sewn-on loops. I can't tighten the frigging thing down enuff to keep it from slipping forward on recoil. 4-5 shots and it covers the built-in brake deallie.

Got a new to me bow this year and been trying to stick a monster deer but I can't pass up a coyote. This one was a spot and stalk to as close as I dared then I lip squeaked him to 30 yards and drilled him. Was in my stand when this one was mousing around and got too close.
