The press would have had a field day if he had "Vicked" a canine.

Good shoot but let me know the last time a coyote stole a cow? [LOL]

my neighbor lost a calf to them this year. my wife shot one running off with a chicken last week. chicken came running home with a nasty wound on her back but i think she will make it.

Good shot! When I was 13 I nailed a coyote at about 100 yards with a 6 inch .22 pistol. My dad didn't believe me until the neighbors said yep he shot it from the doorway and it's still laying where it died. Now it may have been a lucky shot, but I thought I was Wild Bill for awhile after that.

Good job

Shooter says he mistook cow for coyote

COLFAX TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - A man says he shot and killed a neighbor's cow after mistaking it for a coyote.


Authorities and the owner are skeptical.

The undersheriff in northern Michigan's Benzie County says he doesn't see how anyone could confuse a 1,400-pound, pregnant cow with a coyote, which typically weighs 20 to 45 pounds.

And anyway, shooting coyotes is illegal during deer-shooting season. Authorities asked the county prosecutor to bring charges.

The 42-year-old man told authorities he was out to shoot coyotes near his home Saturday when he killed the cow, Undersheriff Rory Heckman said. Heckman said the man then tried to drag the cow home.

"The part of his story he his holding to is he shot at a coyote. I don't know how he hit a several-thousand-pound cow mistaking it for a coyote," Heckman said.

The cow, named Hannah, had wandered away from her farm.

"My husband thought that he should go through some therapy looking at repeated pictures of cows and coyotes, because they look nothing alike," said owner DeAnn Mosher. "It didn't make any sense to me."

thats almost as funny as the the story the dow officer was telling us a few years back, he busted some texans with a mule in the back of their truck that they shot, with a cow elk tag tied to it.[Bang]

back in the day, shortly after they transplanted moose here in CO, some moron's shot one and actually went out of their way to show a DOW officer this huge cow elk they got
