1st stand we set up in a pasture. I selected Bay Bee Cottontail and within 2-3 minutes this female came in but paralleled us at about 125 yds. I bark stopped her and counted down but my buddy had a misfire. I heart shot her but she somehow ran about 100yds before she rolled. She was completely bled out when she fell. They are tough.
The wind got up so we quit after the next blank stand.

LOL. If that had happened to my life long hunting buddy if he borrowed one of my rifles, he would have accused me of slipping him a dummy round and insisted I retrieve the coyote. Sure do miss that back and forth we both enjoyed for 60+ years.

One of my favorite memories is going on a hunt after a longer than usual hiatus and he missed a chip shot first rattle out of the box. I let him slide on that one since it had been a few months since last hunt. We moved to other end of ranch and darn if he didn't miss a standing broadside shot @ less than 100 yards. I didn't say anything either at first because he was smarting pretty bad, but on the way to the next stand (in all earnestness) I asked him if he would like to check the zero on his rifle. H declined and I said, "we don't have to go to the range, I have a coffee can in the back of the jeep we can set up". His reply was, "No, I don't want to put a hole in your can."
That did it, I couldn't resist and replied, "Not much chance of that." The remainder of that ride was total silence. RIP, Don.
