Was out with Neytiri after rabbits today. Was going down a dirt road between some old walnuts and some new walnuts.
Seen some movement up the road about 300 yards . Got in to the older trees and started a sneak. Got a hundred or so yards closer ,peeked around a tree and saw a young coyote with its head in a hole on the side of the dirt road. Got to about fifty yards and got ready . Gave it a few lip squeaks and it looks my way then pokes its head in the squirrel hole again.
A few more squeaks and it runs right up to me.
Made a few more stands with nothing coming in. Got set up in some old peaches stated doing some dying rabbit stuff.
Just about the time I was going to call it quits I see something gray and real low to the ground stalking me was about sixty yards out. Pretty cool watching a big cat sneaking up on you. Gets to fifteen yards ,I raise up a little and the arrows off.
Was cold,foggy and wet today but It was worth it . Got it tagged and ready to tan out. Real nice pelt. Gave one hind leg and a back strap to the guy across the street . I kept the other back strap and the other hind leg.
Cool looking cat and a ugly coyote

Great double! Fine looking cat-do I see a quiver in your future?
Great adventure! Congratulations are in order! Jacques
Holy mackeral. Great hunting!
Great job. What's your secret? Lol, I have a hard enough time killing those guys with a rifle.
Excellent job Tim!! :clapper:
What do you think the cat weighed? Ours are about 25# average I'd say.
Way to go!
Congrats,

Congrats that's awesome!
Tim,
You are a machine! I'm not sure how there are even any predators left around for you to hunt!
Congrats. That's a great day in the woods!

Really nice cat. Congrats.
Thanks guys. The cat was easy. When I raised up to shoot it just sat there looking at me. If it was just a regular size cat I might not of shot it. The coyote was a stupid one.
