Nice work! Did you take any video? Would be good to add it to the playlist if you did.

I hope you will take this in good humor, but the coyote is handsome.

Re: Kipplauf hunting
On the fourth afternoon we found a group of does and moved in to check them out. As we peeked over the ridge we saw the buck at 223 yards ( thanks Eddie for selling me the Leica RF Binos they worked great), and I was able to get a shot. He went right down in his tracks and rolled down hill and it looked like he was trying to get back up so I put a second shot in him to make sure. It was no problem opening the rifle flicking the fired 30-06 case out and reloading even wearing thin liner gloves. I am very happy with the performance of my Kipplauf.
I then switched the 30-06 barrel for my 222 barrel and went coyote calling. One shot 172 yards.

"That if you properly respect what you are after, and shoot it cleanly and on the animal’s terrain, if you imprison in your mind all the wonder of the day from sky to smell to breeze to flowers—then you have not merely killed an animal. You have lent immortality to a beast you have killed because you loved him and wanted him forever so that you could always recapture the day." —R.Ruark
