Was hunting a big bottom on Dallas co. Close to 30 years ago with a friend who was new to hunting. Set up on climbers about 100 yds apart on some creek crossings. just before daylight we are setup and I hear a bobcat catc h a rabbit nearby man it is screaming and squalling. Knew my friend must have heard it too. About 20 minutes later a raccoon comes tearing down the creek with three coyotes right on his tail. The coyotes grabbed him right in front of me and the fight commences man what a racket! The coon is snarling and the coyotes are barking and growling and they are tearing him up and finally ran off with him. Man I was shaken up. A few minutes later here come the coyotes again and I shoot the first one with the 30:06 and hit him too far back and it commences to start squalling and running in circles biting at his side making a hell of a racket. I can't get another shot because he was behind a big tree but every time I could see part of him I would shoot again four times total and the whole time it's howling and squalling and I finally finished him on the last shot. Got down and got the yote and went to check on my friend. He was white as a sheet and said what in the hell happened and told me maybe hunting isn't for him haha.
