Coyote death trap

Well just a recap of last week. Tuesday I went coyote hunting and saw 2 but they were around 200 plus yrds away and the wind was gusting to 30mph so I didn't have a shot. I also saw about 100 geese come into my field so when I got home I called a buddy and made plans to pass shoot the field on Wed. So we got out on Wed. and.....had.....a..... terrible shoot. The wind was still pretty gusty and it was snowing, we didn't hear or see a single goose. The weather cleared up so I went out on Fri to try to get a goose and BLANKED. Saturday....BLANKED. Sunday goose season closed and I slept in.
Monday I went and put out my coyote bait-a road kill deer.
This morning I went out to hunt over the bait and pushed one out on my way to my stand. No big deal really I planned on sitting for a couple hours. I watched the one leave out the end of the field, then another and one more within 20 mins from first to last.
With my hope restored I just sat and watched 'em chase around in the field. Finally one started into the ditch to my left. Now they've gone in there before only to never emerge so I didn't think too much of it and started watching the next one. Well that yote finally followed the first so I started watching for the last yote. Low and behold I had the first yote sneak up on me from the left and across the field. So I carefully settled her in the cross hairs and squeezed the trigger. Bang, flop dead, so I started squealing like a hurt pup trying to bring in one of the other two. They were having none of it, so I policed my brass picked up my yote and headed home.


She was a well furred female exactly what I am aiming for.
