Thanks, lol I think I over estimated wind drift and missed the first shot as he was curled up at 270 yds, he got up ran towards the fence drift I was laying on, he stopped and looked towards the road, south, and I shot him at 150 yards, maybe I can get pictures of last two up soon

Thanks, I was kinda heading back towards home when I spotted him, just a spot in distance, figured it was another rock or something, took a quick look with spotting scope, knew instantly it was a curled up coyote. His leg from elbow to shoulder had hardly any muscle, elbow 4x bigger than normal, leg was like froze in up position
That spot was so flat and open I wasn't sure if I could get close enough
Luckily I could completely hide truck and go 2/3 the way out without him even being able to see me, I used a half mile fence to hide my movement as much as possible

The coyotes right shoulder and upper leg had virtually no muscle at all, must have been a long time since he used that leg

I should carry one, I'm so stubborn I won't give up unless I have to, so far I haven't had to go further than 3/4 mile from the truck.
The female I shot last week is probably not the one that got away, there are still a pair of tracks there, couldn't see any coyote around there yesterday
Took a cellphone picture of the fox I tried to get couple weeks ago, it was 150 yds from the road, saw another snowy owl, and a big hawk yesterday too

No exit on this shot, hit shoulder and didn't make it all the way through, he dropped like a rock

All I saw was a nice fox 200 yds off a blacktop this morning, eagle eating a coyote I took out
