Yesterday, at about 0500, I went to a farm nearby. I set up my game caller with a fawn in distress disc in a hay field. I backed off 200 yards and let it run, it has a 15 minute delay before it starts. I had my Remmy 22-250 and my usual GP100 4". Just after the third series on the disc a ‘yote popped out, At about 15 yards!! I drew the 357 and he saw me. He didn't run, just turned and looked straight at me. I sent the 140gr HP on its way, its loaded with 11.7gr of Blue Dot. Caught him just to the left of center in the chest. He went down and struggled, two more finished him. ( I always pound a critter until I know its done)
I stepped out to look at him when I heard something run in the brush. A minute or so later out pops another about 130yrds down the tree line. All I had in my hand at the time was the 357. What the heck, give it a try. I gave it a little front sight and fired. The bullet hit the ground just at the coyotes feet, face full of mud. Oh well, One down and one educated. I was home by 7.
