The first for a friend

[Adrian J Hare]

This morning I woke up in major pain in the shoulder. So bad if I was on my own I would not have went. The reason was I had made plans with the Military friend I have and I would not stay home.

We headed to one of my spots and walked in with snowshoes to the calling location. I was having even a hard time to keep the gun on my shoulder so we get there and there is a coyote curled up in the field. I could see him through the branches on this apple orchard we were in. I told Paul to kill it if he can find a spot to shoot and this guys does as he is told for sure. The coyote is out 175-200 yards from our location that I spot him. Being a shooting guy in the Military he hits the snow in a prone and aims and bang ! The coyote just sprawls out and quivers. I said yep you got him and we setup fast to try and see if he had company with him. After 25 minutes nothing came so we got up and walked out to the yote. The guy shoots it right in the head at that range. No effort at all, he says that gave him the best shot with his savage predator 22-250.

Nice dog to have tanned for his first coyote !

Congrats to your buddy and you of course. 22.250 is like a laser beam at that range.

Thanks guys ! just to give you all an update. My 1st rib below my collar bone was out. This is why I was in so much pain and could not lift it. I had it put back in and this morning you would not know anything was wrong with me. The only problem is the -24 temps with out the wind that is keeping me from heading out. Florida bound on Friday so it will slow a bit...
