The grendel hit its mark on this here yote around midnight last night. A friend and I spotted him with the D-760 as he was mousing on the edge of a wood line 300 yds away. We checked the wind and it was working in our favor so we decided to stalk up on him. We just couldn't keep up with his pace. We would walk 50 paces and he would walk 50 paces away from us. He didn't notice us so we hurried back to the golf cart thinking we could circle around a cut of woods heading towards the same wood line he was workin. Sure enough luck was on our side and up over a small ridge in the field he appeared. Just like before he was workin the edge of the woods at a steady pace. My buddy grabbed the trigger stick as I jumped off the cart. I put the Grendel up on the stick and wolffed at him so he would stop. I took my time as the cross hairs on my scope was circling all over this yotes body. I knew that time was a factor and the heat was on as my buddy was saying "hurry shoot him". I was thinking " shut the ***k-up as I squeezed the trigger. This yote dropped in his tracks as the 123 gr Amax penetrated his right chest cavity and exited out the left shoulder. We paced the shot off at 182 paces. So I'm guessing the shot at 150 yds.
Now the rest of the story. We also had shots on 2 other yotes and I missed both of them. Nothing like your huntin buddy sayin "hurry shoot him". I'm gonna have to have a talk with him.
