	This was my first “ double” on coyotes circa 1995 in Jackson Twp., Will Co, IL. a 20 grn. Hornady V-Max. @ 3900 fps did the job on both @ around 100 yds.

	What time of the year was it , did you call them in , how were they lined up for the shot , have you had any more doubles since? Did the bullet exit the second coyote? Nice looking rifle do you still have it ? Enjoyed seeing the picture , thanks for posting it.

	Can’t remember time of year except it wasn’t winter.those two weren’t called in I was moving. Slowly along the out side of one tree line that intersected with another tree line .there was a break in my line that I stopped to look through & caught these two ,one sitting & one laying on their field edge along their tree line .They had no idea I was there & luckily a clear shot . I popped the one sitting & the other one disappeared @ the sound of the shot ,they were only 10 or 15’ ft from heavy cover @ the field edge. I had guessed them about 100 yds. + or - no tough shot . Then while I was trying to get a fix on how far I was going to have to walk to find # 1 damned if #2 didn’t come back out in the clear to figure out what happened to her buddy. (Big mistake !) Shot her & then when I got to them they weren’t 15’ apart and I don’t think either one Took a step when shot. I did get one other double a few years w/ the same cart. .17 HeBee on a Rem-Hep. W/ the 20 grn. Horn. V- max. I missed several other chances when calling when I couldn’t get a good chance on # 2. I’ve had people tell me that a 20 grn. Bullet is to light for coyotes & my reply has always been if they stand still and let me make a good shot theiir usual reaction is to fall over. The only ones I’ve ever lost were running shots as I found I’m not a really good tracker. So my solution was just to not try them anymore. That little Sevens has prob. Taken about 20 over the past 20 years ,more than my other S.S. rifles combined ! Dennis H.

	Very nice ! Our big hunt is next weekend. Around 200 people register for the hunt. Mostly hunting over bait with the full moon…..makes for long cold nights in the blind. Looking at -16 tonight.

	Good shooting. You too often see them about blown in half with a hi velocity rifle like yours. I just got delivery of an original Borchardt rebarreled and stocked in 6.5x57R. I have a large cache of 6.5mm Berger varmint/target bullets. I intend to find out how far I can hit Rockchucks and a few coyotes this spring. Rich

	Our hunt is a predator hunt, coyotes, fox and cats. 6 years ago 60 some dogs were registered. The wolves moved into my area today so the other predators keep a low profile or move out. The wolves are usually here for 2-3 days so I may luck out this year and have them somewhere else by the weekend.
