if everything was clear behind the yote i would have put one through him. and if your neighbor said anything then just tell them the rabbits told me to!

I'm glad I didn't shoot.   It wasn't worth getting my bow confiscated, or some sort of criminal complaint against me.  OR losing the favor of my neighbors, and being able to shoot in my back yard.  I'm the pastor of a church, and in my secular job am the 'Chief Deputy' of an elected gov't official, and don't want to bring bad publicity to my name, or to those I represent.

But if the coyote had been in my own yard...
