Ever hunt in your pajamas?

I forgot to bring the dogs in one night but they have a half acre pen thats 6 ft horse fence so I dont worry much.

anyway about 5 in the morning they went nuts ,I just figured it was a damn barn cat or a coon so I went to bring them in and a coyote was pacing the fence acting pretty aggressive so I got them in the garage and went out the front door in my boxers shotgun in hand to meet it face to face right around the corner of the house I also happened to be waist deep in snow.

I put two into it from about 5 ft away and that SOB ran off, little bit of blood trail , come to find out I grabbed the shells I was using the day before for bunnies, probably bled out somewhere.

my wife was laughing when I came back to the house frozen and snow covered.

I'm a little surprised that a coyote can take two rounds of birdshot at 5 feet and run anywhere at all! I've never shot anything larger than a duck with birdshot but I had always thought that at real close range it would make something coyote sized detonate like a gopher hit with a .243...

My brother in law was having trouble with skunks on his farm so one night when the dogs started barking he grabbed the shotgun and ran out to shoot them wearing nothing but a smile. No big deal but the next day his wife told everyone in the coffee shop about his hunting trip and he still gets ribbed about two years later.
 
White tail off the back deck.Bare feet and pjs on. My eggs did not even cool off. Surprised the heck out of our breakfast guests though..... Eggs for breakfast an Tenderloin for lunch!
 
A noisy magpie...through a window screen...with a bow....while wearing nothing but my dainties.

Back in the 90's, I was a Alberta Provincial Park Ranger, staying in a staff residence within the park. EVERY ***ING MORNING this damn thing would start squaking just outside my window. Well, on one fateful morning, ENOUGH was ENOUGH. End of story.
