Coyote Madness III (Nov 1 - February 28)

[tlbradford]

It was ugly, poor shooting.  She wouldn't stop, blew out her back hip with first shot.  Second took out the other side of her head.  I am using up some old 39 BK's and they leave gigantic holes if they hit bone.

Two for Team RAMROD! Well tonight thanks to SWAG was a good night! At first I have been out hunting a stupid amount lately and getting a whole lot of nothing!!!! So I was a little bumed out and decided to take a little break this week! That is until SWAG sent me some motivational pictures to lets say fire me up!!!
So after doing honey do's I decided to go out to a potential good area and try something new with the unproven new AR and the unproven new ND-3 laser genetics light! Well lets just say I was able to get TWO dogs in less than one hour!!  [/img]
So I walk up with the all new items in hand and for the life of me I have no idea why I didn't mount the light back on the scope before going? Any ways as I walk up to the honey hole I see two yotes trot off to my left rather slow!!! I shine the ND-3 and guess what the first dog basically stops and give me time to align my hand with light to scope (which seemed to take forever) then bam! Dropped him ahhhh then he runs out into what appears to be a potential lagoon (cow shat) and dies! Cool until I break through walking out to get him for a photo shoot! Not cool!!! Man my boot and left leg/clothes stinks baddddd! After draggin the dog off and to safe ground I realize I forgot my team sign so cell/crappy pic it is! Throw hi in the back of the wifes vehicle with head in wal-mart sack to prevent blood mess and off I go! 200 yards later I run into another I run into another in the head lights this time and he seems to want to die! So I abliged him! Two in one night and all within less than one hour from start to finish! All new items are now proven good additions!!!!

Do we want to know what the "motivational pictures" were of? 

I have a very active imagination and.....well, wish I didn't 

Nice shootin!

[Swag]

Do we want to know what the "motivational pictures" were of?  

If you only new, that I took pics.... Gringo..  

They are finally starting to move hard in the Basin... The ground has been frozen long enough for them to start coming to the call & move out side their comfort Zone....  
Gringo & I made a "Quick trip" last night, & lets just say it was memorable... This old, Very old dog put up a fight to the very end.(Look at his K9's).  When he came in, Gringo "The Shootest" tried to end it early.  Well lets just say that Gringo rolled the yote once (After 6 Rounds) but got back up & ran into a swampy mess.  We walked the edge hearing the yote fight his way through some matted over cat tails.  He would poop out long enough to get a couple of off hand shots, & run back in.  Finally after desperately trying to squeeze a shot through that mess, he charged out up the other hill side dogging bullets. He would have made it but for some reason he turned & ran right back at us, into the swamp.  Farely certain that I had hit him as he was just entering the cat tails, We both took an ammo inventory.  Hmm? I am not saying that I was shotting any better, But Gringo had 1 & I had 5.  We could not hear any movement in the swamp, so Gringo & his one round decided he was going in.  After  he had crossed the swamp (In Flip flops)   he managed to stay dry, He found the dog sneaking away at 8 yards & Fired his last round.  Than came the work, Gringo needed some help..   In i went.. this stuff was thick, I am 6'6'' tall & most of this stuff was 4 feet over my head..  After digging through matted over mess we finally found him...
  The highlight of the hunt was Gringo (Trail Blazer) being kind enough to show me the right way out.    After almost loosing his flip flop in the mud & sinking almost to his waist I new I was going in a different direction......

Nice Job 204chucknorris!  Had to try some thing to get you, & the rest of your Team to put in some work!!!!

[204chucknorris]

 Swag, trust me it was not from lack of work on my part lately that the dogs were not getting put up. However thank you for those motivational pictures! They seemed to work! Nice old dog Gringo cause I have seen Swag shoot and I know he had to be the one making him run!
I just mounted the ND-3 back on the scope and will be finding my hand warmers here shortly for another hopefully luckly night with less cluster to handle this time. Maybe two again or? Isn't this a sweet picture!!! Te AR is earnign it's name!

[204chucknorris]

Gringo you should have seen the pictures he sent! It was so irritating/motivational! Keep em rolling![img]

Today was one of those long range days. The male this morning busted me at 200yds, went down through a ditch and came out at 414 yds. and stopped.  Down he went.  The female later in the day wouldn't come any closer and just sat down, so I laid her to rest at 338 yds.  Glad I had my Rapid Z varmint scope to show me the sweet spot.

 Add two for SBA.

Nice long shots! That scope is pretty cool, but will have to wait a while before it gets attached to mine. Good job.

Nice going VV, That's stretching the barrel a bit.

[CoryTDF]

Just put a Timney trigger in my R-15. Look out dogs!

[Bullelk]

Nice shooting VV.

[FALFire]

What VV didn't tell you is that he lost one that he hit at 580 yards. Lost it because it was hit just a little too far back in the soft belly area and was able to exit the area leaving quite a blood trail but no dog to be found.

I think he's getting a little to comfy with my old Ruger 22-250. 

 I told him it was a shooter 

[hoyt5199]

Well I finally was able to harvest this guy after 4-5 different attempts. I called this guy in within 20 minutes of calling. He came in at about 20yds but I shot him at about 50yds. A first yote for me and my new gun!!

[VarmintVentilator]

Excellent job,     now go get some more.    

[Baggman]

Nice job Hoyt we are finally in the game. Now go get a large  adult yot. I will try this weekend....
