After missing an easy shot at a standing coyote, these hunters are able to capitalize on a second opportunity.
Tim Wells is at it again in this awesome video, only this time he’s behind the camera instead of the bow. Tim has a long history of making amazing archery shots, but a 9mm tracer to a coyote’s head is pretty cool too.
If you're bummed out because all your local hunting seasons are closed, re-check your regulations book. In many states there is no closed season on coyotes. If you go coyote hunting, make sure you stay alert since multiple coyotes sometimes come to the call. See the full coyote tracer shot footage here
Pretty impressive. Watched it a few times but it looks like he hit the coyote on the right shoulder.
Tracer rounds look fun, but understood re WWII pilots, it’s a whole different flight trajectory than usual rounds.
I don’t think I’ve ever noticed tracer rounds on store shelves. Would I have to do mail order?
Wouldn’t want to shoot tracers in dry conditions.
If anybody watched season 7 Episode 1 of Carnivore TV, they would have seen this old man.
I enjoyed the video, but “incredible shot”?
we take full advantage of coyotes here....our dogs will tree game during fur season and after season is closed decoy coyotes to the gun. Sometimes decoying the coyote within 20 yards...great sport for dogs and human beings. We can just sit in a chair, instead walking up and down draws all night going to treed game. If you have never seen dogs decoy coyotes it is a real thrill.
“Tracer rounds look fun, but understood re WWII pilots, it’s a whole different flight trajectory than usual rounds”.
Tracer rounds and “usual” rounds follow the same trajectory.
Coyotes are good eatin’...err...
Been there, did that, you’re absolutely correct. They’re like copper jacketed matches in dry weather.
Here’s what I was referring to:
One general problem with tracers was the impossibility of matching the trajectory of other ammunition types, because of two conflicting factors. First, projectile weight was usually lighter than standard, and reduced as the tracer element was burnt up anyway; also the gas generated by the tracer burn reduced the pressure differential between the front and back of the projectile and therefore reduced drag. Tracers were generally specified to match the aiming point of other ammunition at some specified distance and remain within set tolerances at other distances. Another problem in explosive cannon ammunition was that the tracer used up some of the shell volume and thus reduced the space available for HE.”
Thanks for the good info and clarification.
What’s that bouncing off of Wile E.’s noggin? The slug? Tracer compound?
