Filming and Calling Coyotes ( Happy new year coyote )

Hello to all! Hope you had a good Christmas and Happy New Year. The family and I went to my folks for Christmas, which was only 450 miles away...and in a different state...and yup, did it snow... didn’t get much time do any calling over there, but maybe this spring. Got back home to a lot of snow here. Up early this morning, the day after we got home, need to feed the horses, they're about a mile or two down the road, its too dark to go just yet. Had coffee...looked outside, it is now light enough to see...you may want to know what there is out there besides Big Bucks, deer that is...Mister Coyote likes to linger out in the fields in the morning. I have a spot I like to park and glass on the way to the horse pasture. Just got parked, rolled the window down and there about 500 yards out is Mister Coyote, walking along a ditch bank road. I pull the brake, roll down the road to close the distance. Frozen snow and ice on the road sounds like...well, you know, it’s loud.
Mister coyote is now watching me coast down the not so silent road to about 250 yards from him. I know he is in total disbelief of what he is seeing, only for this reason...he stood there and let me get out of my truck, rest the rifle across the hood and...miss him! Well that was all it took to bring him back to reality, so from 0 to 60 in one second Mister Coyote was off and running towards the butte, but in order to get there he would have to cross the road in front of me...hmm...
Tiptoeing across the ice trying to get back in the truck, without falling on my butt, can look like a circus. In the truck and down the road we go. I can see Mister Coyote running for the road, we are now converging together. Who will be there first? He is beginning to slow and I hit the brakes, sliding right on past him, I put on the emergency brake and wait till the truck stops. In the mean time, Mister Coyote has made his way across the road behind the truck. I manage to get out with out falling on my butt put the cross hairs on him and take my fist of four shots before he went down about 50 yards out. The little 17 rem proves it self again on coyotes with the 29 gr Woodchuck Den bullet and no hide damage.
