I shot that coyote at 14 yards with my Ruger Mini-14. It was moving through a lot of brush and in between trees,
so I didn't have a clear shot until then. The wind was in my favor, which I'm sure made a huge difference, but
thankfully the spot I chose was hidden enough that it didn't see me. They see EVERYTHING, so I felt pretty lucky.
I weighed it before going taking it to the taxidermist. It was 31 lbs.
This is how I hope it turns out...
