This was such a funny morning that I just had to share it with you guys. I was sleeping like a baby at 7:00am when I heard my wife say quietly "Hunny theres a couple coyotes in the field!" I shot out of bed like I was being electrified!! Ran and grabbed my 22 250 and a box of what I thought were my Speer TNT handloads... well I made my way to the door and started loading my magazine while keeping my eye on the dog. All loaded and I go to shut the bolt to chamber a round and discover the bolt won't close and is stuck!!!with a little extra bolt pressure I ejected a .308 win round!!!!! I managed to strip the remaining 3 rounds from the bling magazine quickly and was awake enough to get the box of ammo that says 22 250 Rem on it and loaded again. By know the dogs have made it another 75 yards from me, so that ment going out in the snow...in my underware. Ok remember here in Michigan the mornings are about 15 degrees. So there I am sitting on the porch, in my underware, in the snow with a gun...what the neighbors must think!!!! Mission accomplished though, 200 yards, 6mph left to right cross wind and I got that wiley little bast@#!. My first shot blew a little further to the right than anticipated and blew his spine into oatmeal so his rear running gear was gone but that tough SOB tried to drag his butt across the field but I was able to persuade him otherwise with another shot that actually hit him high in the shoulder like I wanted to do the first time. Oh well, one less coyote and I'm grinning all morning. She weighed in at 34lbs.
