Laker was that a 3 legged yote or did you break him off?
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

I'm sure there was another coming with her, as she looked behind herself 2-3 times, but the 'ol "one in the hand" deal kicked in. I called for a few minutes after the shot, but nothing showed.

How bad did that 105vld blow her up I've had great luck with either the 95 or 105 VLD's. Like most anything, you have to stay off the fringes. Didn't take a pic on this one, but this is an typical exit from a 105: ![[Linked Image]](http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh167/alfbucket/001_zpsf58735cb.jpg)

Windy here today. Saw 3 coyotes and 1 fox.
Never flipped the gun off of safety, fox with cattle, pair of coyotes with cattle and skylined and single coyote with cattle.
Smart critters around here.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

Thanks aalf, I am planning on killing one this week if stars align with my 6br and 105 vld. Would like to have a usable fur as my oldest boy wants one. I have used the 95nbt on them many times and as long as you avoid front leg they are mostly fur friendly. Of course at 30 yards it was a grenade

Damnnation. I just missed one at 200 hundred yards.
2300 hours, layed out in a snowbank, 5 below, scope fogged up, using the moon for light.
I have plenty of excuses, but I think I just flat missed him.
Wife thought he might have hopped a bit, she was watching out the picture window. Have a look in the morning.
I am MAGA.

Howled this one up last night....
After 35 minutes of various calls on the Foxpro, I let loose with a 3-4 lonely howls with my Sceery. Had a response less than a 100 yards in front of me from a wooded knob, but getting too dark to see into it.
I waited 5 minutes or so to see if she'd show, contemplated what the hell to do next. Running out of daylight, I finally gave several challenge barks/howls to push the issue, and sat still....
Figuring it was all but over, I glanced over to my hard left, and there she was about 125 out giving me the stink eye. I moved the gun over & got her in the scope, but couldn't see the reticle. Quick turned on the illumination just as she started to leave, a quick bark & she made the fatal mistake of stopping.
Kawoomp.....and she took off angling up the hill.....schitt. I racked in another, got her back in the scope, and kawopped her again. Although she was dead on her feet after the initial shot, most times I'm just making noise after the 1st shot, but I impressed myself this time with the follow up.

So I'm out cruising around looking for a varmint, and stop on a high point to glass into a brushy creek bottom out in the middle of a section. Hot damn, finally spot one out nosing around. After 15-20 minutes, he lays down, so I take off to the north side of the section to put the move on him. Get over there, park the truck, and while gathering up the essentials, I hear a howl.....cool, game on.
Sneaking was tough with the crusty snow, so I had to take it slow, not knowing if he had moved or not. I had only gone a couple hundred yards angling up the slope, and damned if I didn't see a 2nd one 800 yards out heading my way too. Almost made it to the top of the hill, and I spotted no.1 400 yards out paralleling the fence, kinda quartering towards me. I changed course to head towards the creek trying to cut him off.
Hadn't gone very far, and I saw him giving me the stick eye, & poof, he was out of sight....schitt. Quick dropped down and pointed the gun in an opening and an instant later he came into view and stopped......boom. About 150 broadside, done deal. 22-204 with 80 grain Berger VLD's![[Linked Image]](http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh167/alfbucket/008_zps10git1z0.jpg)
