Unbelievable Glock Shot

Its believable. Here in Oregon, we have a hunter in Central Oregon who goes by the name of Frankie Glockenspiel.

Frankie once killed 5 coyotes within 24 hours with his Glock, he says.

Here are some photos that are said to have been taken of him that day:

I believe he made the shot. I don't believe he could make it with any regularity. I think skill, luck, and the randomness of a 6 MOA pattern all lined up to result in an amazing head shot.

His chances of a gut shot, cripple, or miss were about the same as the result he had. (Did he ever claim to be aiming at the head?)
 
I am reading alot about ethical kills, etc. How many "Hunters" have shot a deer and then lose the blood trail? How about with a bow? It happens. We do our best, but sometimes things happen that we don't anticipate. Anyone who says they have never lost a deer like that has not done alot of hunting!

GOOD SHOT!
 
I believe it
If he's shooting cans at 100 yards, he can hit a coyote at 150, and anybody who has ever spent a lot of time in coyote country can tell a coyote from a lot further than that.
They have their own way of moving that just says "coyote"
I used to work for a rancher that was considered the local "gun nut", and in the 2 years I worked for him, I saw that guy make shots with both handguns and rifles that would send this group into a tailspin of doubt.
After a while, the only time he surprised me was if he missed.
I myself can't shoot that well, butt then I'm old and near sighted.;)
Good shooting.
 
150 yard head shot with a pistol? thats luck more than talent.

I agree. Even the soda cans at 100 yards would take a lot of luck. Most Glock or other service pistols won't shoot that accurate from a Rasom rest.

Besides, domestic dogs don't spend their time out in the middle of agricultural fields digging for rodents, like Coyotes do.

Years ago I came close to shooting a German sheppard mix who was digging at a groundhog hole several hundred yards from me. Good thing I looked him over pretty good before popping off a quick shot. At a quick glance he did look like a coyote digging away at the hole.
 
Last question, this shot was taken from inside the truck? Anyone have permanent hearing damage?

Answer is, unless they donned ear protection beforehand, a resounding yes!

And that's in the vehicle or sticking your arm out.
 
OP says they were driving down a CR- county road. Usually unpaved, less populated areas.

If it were not illegal to shoot around my place due to proximity to other homes, I'd be shooting these things often.

One bold one a few years ago was bothering one of our horses. You should have seen the horse run at that thing to drive it away, I only wish she could have gotten it.
 
One sure sign of coyotes in the area...

... is when neighborhood cats and small dogs start disappearing.

I love animals, but I have no problem with anybody shooting coyotes. They are overpopulated in a large part of the US, and they are legal targets on sight, in many states, so long as it is not illegal to shoot in the areas where they are sighted.

In FL or GA, they are fair game, because they are overpopulated and they pose serious threats to livestock and domestic pets.

I know I have at least one friend (a TFL member, for that matter) who has lost a dog (in his yard) to coyotes....

You can't anticipate a MINIMUM 6 MOA patter from a Glock handgun(from a rest let alone the edge of a truck window) at that range?
 
Coyote are out of control vermin in many parts of the country. I, and most every hunter I know, will shoot them on sight. A head shot is practically the definition of a humane kill.

Coyotes decimate the populations of many game animals by killing very high percentage of newborns. They also spread disease when their population is uncontrolled and are a threat to domestic animals like dogs and cats as well as small farm animals.... even small children.


Leadcounsel, it is opinions like yours that cause trouble for gun owners. You choose to elevate one animal or one condition of the kill over others for no logical reason. The implication is that it is simply wrong to kill, since it really shouldn't be ok in one arbitrary instance and not in another. It's either OK to shoot coyote, in season if applicable, or it is not. The time, happenstance and method is irrelevant.
 
I agree with peetakilla. I'll blast every coyote I see. They're considered a pest in my state and it's open season on them.
