Yesterday was opening of squirrel hunting, and my grandson was been nagging to go hunting for the first time. He's too young to carry his own gun, so I took my old Marlin 60 .22LR and let him walk/sit with me...Not much was going on, until it sounded like the woods was coming down around us when a doe came screaming by us about 20 yards away with a coyote hot on her tail then another coyote came crashing through just a few seconds behind, I swung up the rifle, but couldn't pick it up in the old Tasco 4x. The whole thing was over in 5 seconds. Who knows if the doe made it or not...I've never witnessed the chase in person before, that was something to remember..I know it's the whole "circle of life" thing, but those dang invasive yote's are getting more and more prevalent, and I do enjoy providing them with a free high velocity cranial evacuation, when I get a chance.
