[QUOTE="30378wbymag, post: 2357309, member: 54983"] Years ago I shot a yote at about 75-80 yards, it was hunting, I couldn't see what it was pursuing but it kinda stood on its hind legs peeking over some tall grass/thin weeds. I stopped my Jeep and got the swift out, snuck into the yardage I stated and soon as it stood up I shot it just behind the front shoulders. The load I use is 40gr. of Varget pushing a 40gr flat based soft point right at 4200 fps. (26" bbl.) Well, soon as I pulled that trigger two things happened, the yote went down and a flock of quail took flight. It only took a minute or so to cover the 75-80 yards. That bullet had struck a weed or blade of grass and totally grenaded. It was a pitiful sight that yote laying there wide eyed gasping for air, I chambered another round and put it out of its misery. Small fast bullets are awesome with perfectly clear shooting lanes like alfalfa fields or open sage country. Sometimes we cannot see the very small obstacles in front of our quarry. I learned a lot that day... [/QUOTE]
