Another one bites the dust

Sam killed a coyote this evening. A friend of ours from Montana, Jason Peterson, was visiting. He is on his way to Wright/Patt AFB in Dayton and stopped by for a visit. It's been 3 years since we've seen him so it was very nice to visit. Anyway, Sam and Jason were out in the garage. I had just got Delight down for a nap and was doing dishes when I saw a coyote in the edge of our woods behind the pasture. We have a pair of binoculars on our kitchen counter for the very purpose of spotting critters, so I was looking at him and decided to run out and tell the guys. He was on the move, so I figured he'd be gone by the time I got out there. He was still there, so Sam ran in and got his gun. We also have a gun on our back porch for the very purpose of shooting a coyote (any excuse to buy a gun ;) We did have a problem with coyotes coming in the yard the last couple years. Jason and I held the dogs back and Sam dropped him. He fell right over. I'm glad cause I don't like it when they suffer.

Big bad hunter

Notice I'm wearing a glove. He stunk! I think a skunk recently sprayed him.

Here I am showing off my impressive spotting skills. I tried to reenact the look of surprise on my face.

Here's me and Summer relaxing in the recliner last night while we watched the Colts game. She's never allowed on the furniture, but I decided to spoil her a bit.
