That was close

I spotted a coyote, blocked him from getting into a tree filled river bottom. I walked out to him after he finally curled up. A truck was parked in 2 places to watch me, then it went over a hill. I realized he more than likely was going around the big section and would probably park in front of the coyote. I was nearly to the spot I needed to take my shot from, sure enough that moron had just parked in front of the coyote, he took off up a valley to the top of the hill. I ran as fast as I could in hope of a shot, not thinking it was very likely.
I got up there and the coyote had turned from going nw to the south, it stopped at 350yds and I just got to a decent spot to lay down for the shot. I held 1-2" into the snow behind its butt, knowing the 10-15 mph wind would carry the bullet into the body or chest. It spun when I shot, then ran over the hill to the south. I thought I had hit it in the butt, I was so relieved when I found him up there. The bullet hit him in the rear of the lung area. Decent fur on him, might get 20-25$?
I can't believe that guy, not sure if he didn't know parking there would scare it, or if he ment to scare it. This time of yr they all run if you stop with in 3/4 a mile of them.
