Smoked this guy during the Elk hunt

coldboremiracle · Oct 23, 2024

I was breaking in a new hunting rifle during the Elk hunt here in Utah. The elk were a bit harder to find than I'd expected, but this handsome coyote managed to get close enough so I let him have it. For those that might ask, its a Patriot Valley Arms Modus 6.5 PRC

I never pass a shot on a song dog unless it will bugger up a buck in looking at.

I passed I dont know how many coyotes during past elk hunts because i didnt wanna spook the elk. Not one time did that ever result in an elk. Therefore my new rule is; see coyote-shoot coyote.

Nice dog! Of course, we all want to know what load/ammo you used.

The left side looks prime! I hope the right side mirrors the left side. I don't make fur so I would have that dog full-body mounted. Connnngrats!

Rifle is chambered in 6.5 PRC, I was shooting handloaded 129 Cayuga solid copper bullets. They are very impressive, if you're curious as to why, I've written my thoughts down here: A Solid Season

I get more satisfaction at "smok'n" a coyote @ 300 with my hunting rifle, than an elk at the same distance!

It's a "feel good" thing to remove a coyote, plus they're a much smaller target (well some of my elk have been pretty small) …….though, the elk taste much better!
