Turner, I don't know for sure. More than 5 minutes, less than 15. I'd actually stopped calling a few minutes prior and was wondering how long I should sit there waiting when he popped over a small bluff looking for the noise. About the only advice I had was from an old friend (RIP bro) who told me that if you don't get results relatively quickly take off and try a new spot.

Cool. Mossberg rifle ?
Nope, Ruger Gunsite Scout
Now the question debated on the wastage thread,
Are you going to eat it? :hello: :yike: :sry:
HaHa no I won't be eating coyote anytime soon. I did remove it from the field though since that is apparently wastage. I was waiting for someone to ask that.

a 223 in an AR, a bolt gun in 22-250 and a 243 or similar. Welcome to the addiction, in about 4 years you will quit answering calling questions, and get real picky about who you show your tricks.
You will start laughing at the questions and answers you see on sites.
I love this *censored*!!!!!!!! calling never gets old, I even call places I cannot shoot, just to see the reaction. Welcome to a world of never ending learning.

:) about 25 years ago I posted a thread like yours. In two years you will have 5 electronic calls, 100 mouth calls and 3 dedicated calling rifles. :chuckle:

Thats funny but I can definitely see it coming true. I've already been looking on gunbroker for a .260 and there are a couple mouth calls I plan on picking up next time I'm in town!
I went out again tonight, called in two pups but they didnt like my homemade motion decoy and hung up at around 250 (I could have tried but I wasn't positive on the shot with irons so I passed, didn't really wanna shoot a pup anyway). Then after they got bored and went back over the hill a larger adult came to investigate, he hung up to but I couldn't not try so I guess I educated one this evening.

The question is are you going to get the full rail for the gss or go with a scout scope? How do you like the rifle? 16 in or 18?

I have no intention of putting glass on my GSR but if I ever do it'll be either a Burris 2-7 scout or one of the Leupold scout type offerings. It's got the 16" barrel (which actually measures somewhere around 18" with the muzzle device).
After I got it it quickly became my favorite long arm. It's a great utility rifle that can take a beating. When I was working on the ranch it was bounced around on 4 wheelers, in the back of trucks etc. One time I even threw it off of a 4 wheeler while chasing cows (I slowed down and as gently as possible tossed it into some grass along a fence to be picked up later). It's got plenty of scars in the wood as well as the metal but it still shoots true. it's not a perfect rendition of the scout concept if thats what you're looking for but it is a light and handily little carbine in a more than adequate caliber that came from the factory with very robust and accurate sights.
