Conditions: No wind, Morning, creek bed threw the field .. 204 ruger bipod 3x9 40mm fast flat shooting zero in at 100 feet.. While you're driving out to a hunting stand on some land with serious need of predator control. You spot off to your left a old big yote.. He has spotted you and is only about 150 feet out.. He is waiting for the sound of the brakes to make a run for a creek bed behind him.. Even tho the distance is not a issue getting out of the truck and loading may allow the coyote to cover alot of ground. Running shots always a challenge with a scope.. You have a hill in front of you about 100 yards that would conceal your truck and let you get ready to spot and stalk threw the creek bed that is if the old male decided to continue to feast on the field mice you didn't stop out of sight out of mind right.. The old coyote is known for not answering to calls yet has been known to return to the same field later in the day for a quick mouse snack..
I stopped and took the running shot.. In the time I was loaded and found him in my scope he had doubled the distance between us.. The 204 did it's job and hit him in the back just below his neck.. I didn't want the chance of the old yote to get out of dodge...
