Another dawg bites the dust just now

[sasquatch]

I just took a 10 yard body shot on this small coyote. It fell over. Reviewed video. As far as the 5 seconds of fame. You will see I killed it with the body shot. Easy.

Now the animal is about 30lbs.small.

Used Nsa 38.5 grain slugs @910 fps. 10 yard shot. Just rolled over and died after a few twitches.

Will process video in the next few days. Maybe include some skwirrel

Airgun is FX impact m3 25 cal

Was a frontal shot. Animal facing directly towards me

Another photo. Clearly a low neck shot. Not body

Good shooting!
You probably got it in the heart/spine.

Ok video is short. so it uploaded fast

Nice! Definately spine shot him.

Your profile says NC. Amazingly similar backdrop to the Pacific Northwest.

Congratulations! Neck shot ending up DRT makes more sense to me than a lengthwise body shot. The only two of 18 squirrels I've shot with my main 25 that ran were with lengthwise body shots. They did not go far but I think they make kill more slowly than a shot through at least one shoulder. In the data I keep I group neck shots with head shots. Both seem to kill very quickly. I've even had squirrels do the brain dance after a neck shot - clearly I hit the spine.

Based on the lack of blood, I'd say this was a very good frontal heart shot. JMHO

Stop the pump and the blood won't flow.

Good shooting whatever the distance! (smile)

Wow! Heck of a shot and video! Great patience!

 

[Bob_O]

Wow......superb video quality and excellent shot! It's hard to beat IR for clarity.

 

[Blackpaw]

Very well done sir!

Yes it was something I've had time to think out, beforehand. I don't get many opportunities but I knew if a smaller dog likenwas the teaget that I would try a neck or frontal shot, given the energy output. I basically didn't even think about it much since I've seen this one on my cameras for months. So I knew it was a frequent visitor

Damn this looks super fun. I was curious to if people were hunting coyotes with air rifles.

He was coming around all that squirrel blood you been spilling there. Nice shot! I'm jealous I can't use IR during deer season in Iowa. I may call in and get permission.

A new one showed up this afternoon. Let's see if I get a chance before Xmas. Going on a deer hunt in a couple weeks first
