Glen- the javalina picture is cool. Tyler taunts them when we find them. I don't want much to do with them once they start grunting and mock-charging.

Jason,
Awesome! Tell Rhett congratulations and I'm sure you're one proud papa! Hunts with Dad are the best hunts of a man's life, and that is one good coyote! |

Colin - Love those gopher pics! Gophers were my first "trapping" and "varmint" experience. As a kid, my Dad tasked me with keeping them out of the yard. I loved setting the traps and got the chance to occasionally pop one with the .22 when it was out and about.
Nice dispatch pistol as well! How well does it shoot? |
|
|
I like it. Shoots well, albeit not super accurately.

Rizzo...what is that rifle...the camo'd AR?
|
|
|
It is an RRA mid-length upper, Bushmaster XM15 lower, topped with a Bushnell Trophy 4-12x42mm scope in an Armalite 1 piece mount. There's a MAD BUIS folded down under the bell of the scope as well, just in case. I have the 2 stage DCM trigger in it - love that trigger! I sprayed the whole rifle with Krylon Khaki, then wrapped it in cord and srayed it with Krylon Foliage Green. That rifle has put a lot of fur on the ground.
ETA: Oh, I posted all this in the "Hunting AR" thread also. Oh well. |

1st off Rizzo that is one adorable pic, I love it.
Scott, We have been at the bench alot of times. He can get on target fairly quick. Later he told me, which I thought it kinda funny, he said one reason he didnt get on him is that he would have to move and the coyote would have seen him. Which was true we would have been busted. As the coyote popped up, I has on him quick. So I took the warning shot It is such a blast taking him but sometimes I get to carry a lot of stuff but I don't mind. I am looking at a youth model bolt for him. In Christ, Song Dog |

Songdog,what is wrapped around his rifle,and how does it stay on?
|
|
|
It is vet wrap around his rifle. I covered the stock and scope with plastic and took spray foam and ran beads of it along the stock to build it up. I took everything off and then fitted it to him and wrapped it. There was others ways to build it up but this came across my mind and had to try it. Well, it worked. I was out $5 for the vet wrap and time. Already had the spray foam
In Christ, Song Dog |

Thanks.

If someone kills you with your own gun, they better have to beat you to death with it because at that point, it should be empty.

Its awesome. I run the light on dim while calling. When I spot eyes, I keep the halo on it and turn it up when coyote is in range.
This past one gave my no time to fiddle around. It was - Put like on scope, get on him, bark and shoot. I really like the the lightforce. In Christ, Song Dog |

SongDog - all right! Was Rhett with you?
I gotta come out there and do some night hunting with you . . . . ETA: Should I tell you about the coyote I missed this morning at 50 yards? Right after I nailed a jackrabbit, on the run, at 40 yards, too! That coyote was the Devil, I tell ya! |

Ouch - that's a nasty hit!
Good job as always, Jason! |

Thanks man, Nice cat yourself, I was actually hog hunting. I had put out some "Hog Wild" and it obviously attracts cats too, they came strait to it.
|
|
|
You know, I've heard that curiosity often kills the cat. Cats will come in to deer grunts, turkey calls, hog calls, just about anything that sounds like it might be interesting. And they'll check out odd scents and odd movements as well - guess you proved that theory dead on accurate. I've also seen bobcats sit and stare at various types of decoys for long periods of time.
I was laughing because the terrain in both of our pictures looks pretty similar. Or maybe I'm crazy. Either way, good kill! |
|
|
Yeah the terrain is almost exact. I went up to a ranch up in Central Texas. With all the pics of your hunts i wish it was the same hunting spot.LOL
|
|
|
By the way, i just dropped that bobcat off at the Taxidermist, be ready in 4-5 months. ill be sure to post some pics

Nice look'n coyote.

|

Nice shooting - and that's a nice furred out dog you got there.
|
|
|
|
Nice Fox.
My buddy has some reds on his land I'm going after soon. Howling or distress calls? |
|
|
Coyotes eat foxes, so howling when you're hoping for fox might be a bad idea. Try using distress calls - they really like birds and rabbits, and other foxes in distress make them nuts. I sent you a screaming fox MP3, I think - that's a solid sound for calling foxes.
|
|
|
Good shootin! Those chest shots are the best 'cause so often it's just bang flop. Nice job on calling a triple. I'm glad we don't have the mange issue out here; of course we have parvo, which kills a lot of dogs, and we even have a few problems with the plague. A plague infected mountain lion actually killed a wildlife biologist in the Grand Canyon a few years ago - sad story. Rabies is a problem out here, as well - especially with foxes.
