Sixgun Coyote...

My sixgun coyote happened this morning. I was actually deer hunting in my stand on my place behind the house. I decided to pack just a single call while laying out clothes the night before. The call was a Carver Rabid rabbit. I decided to shift gears and get away from deer hunting. So I pulled the little Carver call out of my pocket. Gave it a nice simple short sequence and put it back in my pocket. He responded to the call Id say within 5 minutes so he had to be close. With the ground being soaking wet from recent rain and the CONSTANT ringing in my ears I have to wonder how I heard him come in, but I did. I reached and skinned my sixgun from my chest rig and took aim. As he stopped I thumbed the hammer, and focused on the front sight. He moved again going to some minor cover, thorns and twigs and such. He took two more steps, stopped and I broke the shot! I saw him fall, get back up and I thumbed the hammer again preparing to take a moving shot. But it wasnt necessary, he was down!
The shot was 40-45yds with a Ruger Bisley Blackhawk Flat top in 44spl that Gary recently did his Performance Package treatment. The boolit (bullet) is a 245gr penta hollow point I cast. It was pushed by a healthy dose of H110 with a magnum spark plug.
Ive been wanting this for a while and it finally happened! Not exactly the way I saw or planned but nonetheless I got it done. To me it was a little special, it was on my place, with a boolit I cast and loaded, with the handgun I took my first handgun deer with that was also on my property, just 6yrs prior.
Thank you Gary!
