Well done!  Did you call him in, or was it a chance encounter?

No, I didn't call him in....at least not this one. I do call them in all winter and hunt for them intentionally, but this one was traveling through the area like they do routinely and caught a opposum right down the hill from me. He ate what he could then grabbed a mouthfull and headed up the hill right straight to me to bury it. When he stopped at about 15 steps and started to dig a hole I was already at full draw. Needless to say he didn't get the job done, but I sure did. I know it was a opposum that he was carrying because when I went to investigate what he had dropped, it still had the opposum's tail attached to it. I had no idea they would eat those? Learn something new after 26+ years of bowhunting.....nature never ceases to amaze me.

Bjorn- I'm assuming you are referring to the turkey as the toughest game animal to bag with a stick bow? That would be my #1 toughest on the list, because it seems like even if they are looking straight away they can still see you move.

Great job. Love the thumbs up in the picture. It says it all.

Nice shot.Great trophy

Good shootin...Well done...

Congrats!

Congratulations.You sure have your first throphy!!

Good shootin. I would love to get a coyote with trad equipment.

woah what a great way to start!

awesome!!!congrats!a song dog was my first trad kill too.

I just got back from my hunting property up north Missouri today, and I got a shot at yet Another coyote yesterday morning! This time I shaved hair off it's back.......that makes 4 shots at coyotes this bow season, with one kill and all misses were high. I think I must be having a bit of a hard time judging yardage on them because of their size and they seem to look further away than they really are?

It's kind of unbelievable that I went 26+ years of bow hunting without getting a shot oppurtunity at a coyote and now I get 4 shot opps in one season on 2 completely different tracts of property?      :confused:  
Man, I must be a coyote magnet this year!
