Last Thursday afternoon I went into the kitchen to get a drink of water, looked out the window above the sink, lo and behold, there's 2 good sized coyotes out in the middle of the yard. First reaction was GRRRRRR!!!!! then I'm like, get a rifle!, get a rifle! So I did. First thought was grab an AR but in the rush I couldn't remember what ammo is zeroed with, so I grabbed my T3.
Went back to the kitchen and the yotes were still there so I slloowwllyy opened the window and ran the barrel out the gap. I waited until they were lined up one behind the other hoping for a 2 for 1 special. Squeezed the trigger, BOOM, yote in front dropped like it had been hit with an anvil dropped from helicopter at 500 feet. I mean straight down, not a twitch. Second stood there for a second looking at it then got a real OH @#$% look on it's face and hauled tail out of there before I could get another round chambered. Should of had the AR, I seriously doubt a slight difference of zero would have made much difference at 20 yards.
Went out to take a look at it. Bullet hit right where I wanted, severed the spine right under the head but no exit. Dang 55 grain HP exploded when it hit bone, just like it should have. BTW, AR mag had 64 grain soft points in it, those would have made an exit and quite possibly made it a 2 for 1.
Here's a couple of pics of one that's killed his last. Oh, and while I was taking the pics a turkey was right in the edge of the woods putting up a storm.
