![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2025/01/full-9322-443592-img_4365.jpg) Sometimes you just get lucky. Next to the last call on Thursday, we were set up on a gravel pit calling to the SE. We were on the west side of the pit and I was farthest to the south when two coyotes rolled up on a pile of gravel to my right. I shoot left-handed so it was a perfect situation for me as Steve and Levi were to my left along the same gravel bank. I switched the FREQ to Money Bunny and the male rolled off the pile and down into the open pit, leaving the female standing on the bank. My plan was to let the male roll out into the open far enough so that when I killed the female, we Levi could take the male that I expected to break away from me at the report of my Ruger .223. I let the male get about 30 yards into the pit and then killed the female. Racking another round into my rifle while watching the male, I was shocked to see him break toward me. Now I knew that this second dog was my target as well and swung to my right in an attempt to make a running shot. I got lucky and had two dead coyotes in less than 5 seconds. Not too bad for old man shooting a bolt action rifle. I haven't reviewed the footage as it will be aired on CARNIVORE but may have been pulled off in the 3-4 second range. Adios, Gary

 Nice shootin' Tex.
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf

Most excellent! The only good coyote is a dead one; and in this case, two of them!!
