Can ya stand more huntin stories?

Not sure of the year, probably  2015 ish , was in a stand where a wooded draw meets the timber. I heard acorns popping behind me where the draw angled up away from the timber. Nice doe eating there alone. Think it was around the 1st of November so was hoping a buck might trail her in.

She drifted back up the draw nibbling and eating acorns.   I'm thinkin if she comes to bed in the timber she might come by and drag a buck along at some point .

After a bit, I hear running in the leaves, and the big doe slides to a stop under my stand. Something is chasing her, and I'm already standing and looking.

A coyote is standing across the ditch at edge of timber, and I think" what has he got in this deal"?

The doe takes off and here he comes(the coyote) chasing her, he is coming down the bottom of the ditch way too fast, I'm at full draw but don't think I can make this at 20 yards, so I squeak a lip.  He turns up a deer trail and stops just before he gets to level ground to look.

Then the arrow is gone and he spins and takes off at warp speed. CRAP , I missed I think.  But he goes about 20 yards and runs into a tree.  Maybe I didn't miss!

Ended up I shot him right under the chin and it came out right at his junk. Dead on his feet...

Heck yeah!!!! I love anytime someone gets to pinch a coyote when out waiting for deer.  Awesome that you got to end his deer chasing'...... permanently!
Nice shot and cool story Kenny

hate the coyotes, I know that they serve a purpose but I believe that they are best served elsewhere than where I am hunting or around my home. Every chance that I get, I take it. I don't trust them, they are very sneaky. Around here, most of those pets lost posters, reward for return is really coyote turds only that will be found. Awesome job!

[Sam McMichael]

I like stories like this.

[rastaman]

Yes I love reading hunting stories on Tradgang especially when it's too hot to breathe outside here in Georgia. Good shooting Kenny! And thanks for sharing!

Thanks Kenny. I had a chance at a coyote a few years ago.

I was hunting from an elevated stand one morning. A pack of coyotes came through the wood lot I was in.  They moved through like skirmish line, parallel to each other. I saw three, there may have been more.

I took a shot at the closest one (about 15-20 yards). My arrow went right over his back.  I guess I didn't pick a spot very well.
