Between The Eyes Coyote

[Brian Shaffer]

I have been hunting with this Speer TNT bullet loaded by American Eagle and so far, I would not say that it is pelt friendly even if it is a varmint round. I finally made a shot that didn't tear up the pelt.

The shot entered at the top of the nose, between the eyes, went through the skull and the metal detector indicated there were parts of the bullet in the neck. Given that nothing exited, there was only one little beauty mark on the pelt...but then again, I don't keep pelts.

That’s some good shooting! Put her down quick.

Love a good CNS bang-flop! Nice shot... I'm surprised he wasn't "Blew Eyes" after that one.

I was as well. It took me a few seconds to find the hole. I just thought that was a spot of blood on the nose. There were other spots of blood on her, but palpated the skin around the skull, heard the familiar crunching noises and followed the breaks to above the eyes and took notice of the blood spot and realized it was a hole, LOL.

Nice shootin'!
When the hogs don't show, it's nice to have alternate targets.

Keep After 'Em!

One round through the skull meant lights out for that old yote !

Well played from start to finish.

(My dream job in the 90’ would have been writing for “Pop-Up Videos”.

My first coyote had similar entry; I was aiming center chest and he dipped his head to turn as I fired.

The wound channel and exit from the 30.06 180 grain soft point was...slightly more noticeable.
