My friend was in a tree stand with a bow and had just shot a deer...they coyotes smelled the blood and came in just below his tree stand...he shot down at the coyote. the arrow went through the coyote and pinned him to the ground..man i wish this was my story...most people that hunt hate coyotes so i imagine that they are going to always be willing to take a shot at them...i bought a savage hog hunter in 223 to do just that...i cant wait
