Title: My Coyote Gear
Post by: MadHatter on December 09, 2012, 02:40:41 AM: Getting ready to head out for a night hunt and was laying out my gear for the night... Then I realized just how much stuff I carry... Add to this I normally carry a lanyard with 5 hand calls during the day, all my camo gear, spare box of ammo and a small gear pouch for all my small stuff... Figured I would put a picture and list up while everything was laid out all nice. I do only carry one rifle at a time, depending on the circumstances, but my .25-06 is slowly becoming my favorite... Its such a flat shooter there is really no need for tables... Its old over 9" at 300...Anything closer will be within ~2".

So here is a list... For those interested...

(Back to front)
1. Rem 700 SPS Varmint, .308 shooting 180gr Winchester SPBT topped with BSA Platinum 8-32x40. Attached: Maglite XL100 (104 Lumens)
2. Custom Mauser 98 action in .25-06 shooting PPU Match 90gr HPBT topped with Leupold VX1 4-12x40
3. Bushnell 10x42 Binos
4. Primos Turbo Dogg
5. Energizer Trail Finder 1W Headlamp (75 Lumens)
6. Bushnell Yardage Pro 850
7. Primos Tall Trigger Stick
8. Mag-Lite 3D-Cell LED with Skull Cracker (131 Lumens)
9. Sig P229 in .40 with Truglo TFO Night Sights
10. Remington Blood Tracker 6 LED Light
11. Mag-Lite XL50 (104 Lumens)
12. Energizer TrailFinder Green LED Cap Light
13. Coyote Madness Kill Card for 2012-2013

:tup: I know you didn't ask me but

I love it, the only down fall is that it has a port for a decoy and a button on the remote but they (primos) doesnt have a decoy that plugs into it that I have found :dunno: :dunno: oh yeah and the remote doesn't reach as far as they say.

Scent Killer? and camo? when I really made an effort on scent control i honestly believe it really helped my success rate with all hunting. This year i had several wild game animals some i have never seen before. I think they just did smell see or hear me. did you have any trouble mounting the remington sps on the Blackhawk axiom stock? I have a Remington 700 VTR in .308 and i did a little trimming but iT works great for this action. I want to build another VTR 700 in 22-250 for varmit/predator hunting.

Post by: MadHatter on December 09, 2012, 04:00:58 PM: I wear some scent control camo... I also wash it wash it in baking soda only, and it has its own sealed tote that I keep some cedar and fir branches in... I noticed a big difference too, I would be out calling yotes and have a deer stroll by me, totally oblivious. I am also a firm believer in hunting the wind though. No amount of scent control can make up for that. Quite a few of the places I hunt I have chosen because of the sign I see, and where the wind is coming from when I scout it.

As for the turbo dogg, I love mine... Have called in several dogs with it, just haven't been able to close the deal, but that's not the caller, that's just hunting. As well as it works, I am sure it will pay off soon. As for the remote problem, I was calling the afternoon at a ranged 148yds and my remote worked perfectly, just had the speaker sitting in a fence post about 5 feet off the ground. Now if I try to put it in the ground at that distance it won't work, but really I wouldn't expect it too. Sitting on the ground in a flat area I get about 50yds or so, which isn't too bad, if it's down hill from me I can get 100yds...
