saw this guy bed in my backyard around 8am this morning in the middle of my field. Thought it was odd, so I grabbed the binos and 7 Rem Mag. Confirmed it wasn't someone's dog.Had to yell 3 or 4 times to get him up and when he did could barely walk.
My shot was clean through but his guts were hanging out. My guess is he was hit by a car and made it as far as he could, which was about 150yards from the back of my house.
Didn't ever imagine this is how id kill my first coyote

Good job. No need for it to suffer.

This is a sampling of successful hunts I have had the past few years using a Foxpro and Mojo Critter Decoy.
Majority of these dogs came in to some type of rabbit distress sound (typically played continuously at the higher end of the volume range). If the time of year is right (i.e. late spring into summer), coyote pup distress sounds often yield success too. Nearly all doubles came as a result of shooting the first one and immediately changing the call to some sort of coyote distress or "death cry" sound...the next one is usually soon to follow (within 3-5 minutes at most).
The coyotes are definitely conditioned to gunshots equating to potential easy meals in our area. Had two dogs already digging in to the hind quarter of the buck my dad shot last year not 10 minutes after he pulled the trigger.
This last picture is of one that crossed paths with me while deer hunting. The .45 ACP bloodied him up pretty good!

leave it up to a badger to always plug a cat set. Lots of eye appeal now though

Call me crazy but Badgers are my favorite critter to trap.

I usually don't bother with them when deer hunting but way too many on this rancher's property. Shot it through the heart on the run at about 55 yrs. 
Had him by 1 toe. Luckily he never got to the stake to dig it out.

Looks like I got one nearby to look for.

I whacked my first coyote with a bow on closing day of deer season this year! I was making a stalk towards several does when I saw a coyote wondering up directly towards me. I drew from behind a tree and stepped out, shooting him at 5 yards! The best part is that he bolted off over the hill and the deer never even knew what happened
