Kansas coyote.

[Red Angus]

I was on my way back to the combine after fixing fence when I spotted this guy in one of our pastures. He stopped to look back at me from right at 250 yards.

The rifle is a Mini 14 tactical topped with a Vortex Crossfire II 1-4X24.

The picture isn't the best as it was a few minutes past sunset when I shot him.

Another good coyote. Looks like he was eating well. Nice shooting.

He was. We've had an excellent year for rodents. Thank you.

Nice shot. Any bounty on 'yotes ? Fur in good condition to.

No bounty that I know of.

Too early in the year for fur to be prime. Need some more cold weather. Past experience, coyotes pelts don't bring much.

We're having a rodent boom starting here in OK, too.
I've chased 2 mice off the front porch and just trapped one in my storage container!

They got REALLY bad about 5 years ago.
I set a "bucket trap" in my hen house one night.
The next morning, I had 17 rats and 24 mice in it!!!!!
IN ONE NIGHT!
I don't like 'yotes, but right now, I wouldn't kill one on a bet! Let 'em eat rats and mice! Once they start messing with calves, chickens and pets, I go to work on them.

DO like your setup! Did it come with the AR style stock or is that an "after market" set up?
5.56/.223 I presume?

5.56/.223 is correct. The collapsing/folding stock is is factory setup.

Good shooting Red. Nice to have a rifle handy when a target of opportunity pops up, truck gun or something you carry on a UTV or such?

Thanks Fitch. I almost always carry a rifle, AR or Mini 14, truck/tractor/combine/ATV. I happened to be driving the side by side when the coyote presented himself.
