Just came back from the UP. Just went up for another day of testing with 1 buddy. Parked in Ironwood and rode 140 miles up to calumet for dinner and then back down. Right at the turn off to Goegebic by the Hoop & Hollar a coyote runs out and nails the side of my buddies sled, we running 80+ and I was in his dust. The thing bounces off his sled and comes flying back nailed him with the left Simmons with twin 8" carbides and then under the track. I got good air off the deal and he now down't use air. I thought it was a deer at first but just a coyote. No Camera with and no knife to take the tail. Well the wolves will eat good tonight.
Anyhow - snow was perfect, trails like glass and only passed about 7 sleds in 280 miles and got the clutch fine tuned go back up on saturday and start working on limeter strap and control rod. Ye Ha

Good to hear your alright!
Maybe now you have to put on some coyote whistles on your sled....

Yeah I'm jussssst fine - quite an adrenaline rush. I was whistling in my helmet but coyote could not hear it. Running a gutted pipe and he didn't even hear that.

maybe you were going faster than your willing to admit and you were out running the speed of sound?
Admit Heck! I was running at warp speed & I kept hearing Scotty saying I'm giving her all she's got captian the dilithium crystals are melting 
I just see a new episode where Wiley buys a sled and it comes in an ACME crate, of cours the roadrunner is on a Yammi. Nothing but an outline of a coyote in the snow bank. Beep Beep!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're fortunate. I was over in the Munising area the first weekend of December this year and broadsided a deer with my Apex, did about $500-$600 worth of damage.
Just a coyote not a cow, I hit a field mouse once almost hit a clown.

Yeah I have had my issues with deer to but never that much damage. Last year one jumped clear over me and never touched me. As far as the speed thing goes I have had more trouble at 30 mph with animals than 90. And if I would have been going faster I would have missed the coyote.

Yep its like riding a bike - a bit rusty but it all comes back and with a little imagination the tuning forks on the hood make good cross hairs

I smoked a rabbit two winters ago. No match for my Apex... My buddy was right behind me and there was a huge cloud of fur. It was like it was right out of a movie.
So that's why the Easter bunny hasn't shown last 2 yrs.
Apex-1 Bunny 0 I think we should mark our kills like the old fighter pilots did. Maybe a ski-don't with a line through it.
