Laying on the top of the hill half way asleep listening to the sounds of mother nature. Not a soul within 2 miles in any direction. The sunlight breaking through the clouds exposing a giant sunburst. Beautiful white clouds scattered across the sky. A cool breeze blowing across the hillside. My dogs asleep with his head rested on my lap. The sound of russling leaves. The russling leaves startled my dog to his feet, which in turn caused be to snap out of my state of tranquility. Dogs gaze is focused, my attention gained, leaves rustling turns into a coyote circling bush. KABOOOOM, coyote recieves 1 well placed shot from my 243 to base of neck, calm returns to the hillside, all is well....

SERENITY
Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked, 'How old was your husband?'
'98,' she replied. 'Two years older than me'.
'So you're 96,' the undertaker commented.
She responded, 'Hardly worth going home, is it?
Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman: 'And what do you think is the best thing about being 104?' the reporter asked. She simply replied, 'No peer pressure.'
The nice thing about being senile is you can hide your own Easter eggs.
I've sure gotten old! I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees, fought prostate cancer and diabetes I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine, take 40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts. Have bouts with dementia have poor circulation; hardly feel my hands and feet anymore. Can't remember if I'm 85 or 92. Have lost all my friends. But, thank God, I still have my driver's license.
I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape, So I got my doctor's permission to join a fitness club and start exercising. I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors. I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But, by the time I got my leotards on, the class was over.

Know how to prevent sagging? Just eat till the wrinkles fill out.
It's scary when you start making the same noises as your coffee maker.

THE SENILITY PRAYER :
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, The good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference. oorah
If you will blame gun makers for every shooting then blame car maker for every car accident.
By the way, "russling" is spelled with a "t" - rustling.

We here in WV call them predators. They kill our baby calves as soon as they are born, they kill our sheep, pets, and have been known to even attempt to take a child if given the oportunity. So if your remark was an attempt to make me feel bad or sorry for killing the coyote it didn't and won't work. It was a good sized one, probably weigh out around 70lb or so...Only bad thing about killing an adult coyote is if you kill the alpha male or female it will upset the packs hiarchy and the whole pack will breed instead of just the alpha male and female. That can cause their numbers to multiply. Then you gotta kill that many more... Oh well, its good target practice...

I'm with you. Now if we could just get people enraged enough to start saving babies lives from the hands of misguided physicians in abortion clinics (our modern day Nazi death camps).

Coyotes suck!
Help stamp out and eradicate superfluous, unnecessary, repetitive redundancy.
I take it you have never seen a full grown coyote...70 lb coyotes are not uncommon. You must be thinking of grey fox, they are smaller...lol...Actually I believe the coyotes in my area are a cross with wolves which could explain their larger size. Most of them are the size of a small to medium sized german shepard. I am guessing the weight based on the size comparison with my boxer...

Don't be surprised. A 70# coyote is not out of the question. They will also interbreed with domestic dogs, thus the term coydog. A friend of mine shot one in Maine while bear hunting and I can tell you
that he only retrieved the front lower leg. By the size of that leg the coyote was a monster and this was in a remote area.
