1980’s Quarter bore draw’s first blood…at least for me.

[Howard Shadix]

Came home from work this morning, let the dogs out and started a coffee. Went back outside to just enjoy the morning and noticed the dogs staring into the neighboring field. Caught slight movement, COYOTE! Wait, COYOTES..4 of ‘em. Less than 20 yards from the dogs. They didn’t see me so I ran like a 53 year old fat man into the house and grabbed a gun that I bought from Jeff Odom, another ODT member, and ran back, very elegantly I’m sure, to the driveway where I picked up the song dogs in the scope, tried to line 2 up and bang! One down! The remaining 3 ran down slope and out of sight till about 225yards and I missed an offhand second

shot but attached are the results. First shot about 140. Don’t know what history this rifle really has but it’s the first kill with it for me. It’s a .25-06 and I love it. 100grain a little much for coyote but it was devastating, had I meant to, would’ve use the Varmint rounds. Female, maybe 30pounds if that, good fat and coat. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the story and I hope to have some more adventures with this rifle. Thanks to Jeff Odom for the deal.

Couldn’t figure the pics were posting, sorry!

Outstanding. Love my .25-06. There is no such thing as "too much" when it comes to the vermin.

Cool that’s good to see another one permanently taking a nap. Good story to boot

We've always had them around us but in the last year they're moving into the small neighborhoods here. Missing pet signs going up all over

Sweet rifle

It’s got a medium weight barrel, believe Ruger calls it a B. Looked for a while and it popped up here on ODT and I got it. Jeff Odom gave me a decent deal on it as well. It seems to shoot good, not a lightweight though. I love it so far. Now I need a Winchester 1885 to go with it!
