Back in 1889 I was using a prototype lever action 6.5 Creedmoor on the Kansas plains during a tornado and shot my first coyote at 900 yards and was 80 pounds and 6 feet long. Hunted with the 6.5 lever action for a hundred years and never missed at any range. Heck the coyotes would almost lay down and die when they saw me.......:-)
Around 1985 with a Remington 6mm. Drove dad's truck in the ditch trying to head one off that was cutting across the section...neighbor pulled me out. Didn't even get grounded. Coyote got away tho...
