Title: Cabin Coyotes Bonfires and Bobcats!
Post by: MuleySniper on February 06, 2011, 02:45:28 PM: Left Thursday evening after work to our cabin to live the weekend off the grid, do some work and shoot some predators. I dragged along my trusty Tikka .223 and my new to me Browning A-bolt .204 which I haven't had the chance to season yet. Had a great time at the cabin. Did some work on the interior and we were also able to burn up a big wood pile that was close to the cabin that needed taken care of before the summer. Had a great time. Shot at some yotes and was lucky enough to take another bobcat. I'm sold on the .204! That A-bolt is amazingly light and deadly. Put out some trail cameras before making the trip home today. Already can't wait to get back.

Post by: MuleySniper on February 06, 2011, 07:55:27 PM: Thanks guys! Yeah it was a blast. Shot the yote at about 150 yards. He actually had a really nice coat but the 32 grain vmax did waaaay more damage to his spine than I would have ever imagined so it ended up being raven food. The bob might be around 20 lbs or so. Smaller than the one I have mounted. I just tubed it out and will have it tanned. I'll hold out for a bigger one to do a rug with.
