I'm more interested in you telling :bash:us how many Swag has missed. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
It is funny you would mention that Varmintventalator,I would of missed alot more if old Gringo wouldn't of be such a dog hog today. I will post up the pics from today when I get home. It was one of the best days of hunting I have ever had. All kidding aside what could be better than a couple of buddy's hunting together, & having everything come together to make a wonderful day out in the outdoors.

4 Dogs for Swag
14 Dogs for Team Dogpile
Okay, here goes.... what a great day..
I was kind of feeling like I was going to stay at home today, & do some honey dues since it was pretty foggy... After having breakfast with the wife, I gave ol Gringo a call just to see what the chance's it wasn't foggy out his way. After talking with him for a few it was apparent he was having one of those mornings with work. :bash: I figured it was a good excuse to load up & head his way to lend a hand. Well by the time I got out there he had work sorted out & was convinced we needed to try & take a dog or two.
This is where my frustration began, we started at 8:30 & by 10:30 when he had to run back to work to dill with some issues he was up by 5 dogs... :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash:
After we stopped by & grabbed some lunch it was time to even up the score... Not so much. >:( >:( The next 3 dogs seemed to always come to his side... Finally I got a chance took the shot dog went down & when I went to retrieve it I herd it get up from in the brush. I was down the hill below it & could not see him as he was running away on 3 wheels. Thank goodness Gringo had a good angle & was able to put him to sleep...
Off course the next one was Gringo's again... :dunno: Finally the last 3 just feel into place for me & I was able to actually use my rifle... :chuckle:
What a day we couldn't believe it, we swung by & picked up Gringos camera & his boys were so exited they wanted to hold or team cards..
Gringo had 1 from the day before, & he managed to lock down 9 :yike: thats right 9 today & I was able to get 4.

Post by: Gringo31 on December 12, 2011, 04:15:49 PM
So for you guys out there, where do you draw the line? For me, I've had way too many dogs come in hard that either come and leave as hard as they come in or I have trouble getting them to stop. All this comes down to if they are within 100 yards and standing still, I have very little restraint. :dunno:
How do you guys who hunt together sort this all out. Frankly, I don't care who or when someone shoots (on a single) as long as they don't miss :chuckle: If they do, they might be getting some crap..... :hello:

Sorry to be a party-pooper, guys, but I got word from my sister that Mom is real bad, so I'll be flying out to Mass. tomorrow. Predatorpro should be able to pick up the slack, now that I won't be here for a while to jinx him. :chuckle:
I'll be back right after New Years, so the yote hunting should be hot by then. Taking my laptop, so I'll be able to check on the goings on occasionally.

I'll be back right after New Years, so the yote hunting should be hot by then. Taking my laptop, so I'll be able to check on the goings on occasionally.
Sorry to hear about your mom. Go and be with her. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Falfire,Looks like you finally got enough for a fur coat :chuckle:
Actually, I'm doing seat covers for ma' pickum'up truck :tup:
Hey VV. is right, ain't no joke, it's either got to be running it's a$$ off or, at night, maybe I just focus a little more under pressure. :dunno: But let me tell ya, there is big pressure on when VV is on the glass, dogs don't really stand much of a chance when he touches one off at fur waaaaaay out there. Of course I did put the smack down on the one a few days ago at 297. The new Tikka is knocking them over pretty well and still looking to best my 553 yard dog from earlier this year.
The other night I shot one at 174 yards while VV held the flashlight but I'm still trying to get the 200 plus yard night shot, just ain't happed yet. Then I shoot one today in broad daylight at 399 yards, I connected but just a little too far back and possibly low, lost that dog in the weeds. :bash: I hate that! Hell, it's probably still runnin' with it's guts a draggin' :rolleyes:
Post by: traildigger on December 16, 2011, 03:12:44 PM
Well, chalk one up for team Smoke'Em finally.
Myself and OneShotOneKill headed out yesterday, (lot's of sign) and after a number of failed stands, decided to head to a different location. During our drive, we discussed how the sun was starting to poke through the clouds, and were hoping that this would entice some coyotes to head out and look for some little morsels that may be taking advantage of the warm suns rays. About halfway to our next area, OneShot started to have what I thought was a seizure, but turned into a tantrum about a coyote trotting across a stubble field. I stopped the truck to check it out, and we decided to give the house a try. Luckily someone asnswered the door, and halfway through our introduction, he says, "hey, there's a coyote out in the field". I told him that is why we stopped, and we were told that we better shoot it before he does. So we both grab our gear and head out to a corner fence where we can get a bead on the dog. During our run out, I about took a dirt nap from twisting my ankle in a hole but recovered without too much damage. (Nothing a little Blue Moon couldn't fix last night). Finally, we both have the dog in sight, and almost simultaneously, we both fired. It looked to both of us that maybe we had both missed. :bash: and allowed the dog to find a hiding spot. Thankfully though, we had both hit it. I barely skimmed across back, possibly hit the spine :dunno: and OneShot took out it's throat with his 7mm. :mgun: (i think he's over compensating for something). So anyway, it was a fun day, and finally got a pay-off. We've decided though, that our calling either sucks, or that SBA have shot EVERY OTHER COYOTE in central washington.
Now for proof: cute little female.

Unfortunately I had no time due to work. I barely had time to see the area a little. However I am sure I will make it back sometime soon but with the main intention being hunting and such versus work. Seen the 338good lapua savage down there! Man that is a awesome looking gun! How you been? I see you been stacking dogs! Good job.

Had several dogs hang in' up out there around 500-600 yards but this one was probably a little more hungry than the others, so he played the game and lost. He was manged out pretty bad and stunk like he had been dead a month already. I drug him out of my calling area so I could go back there in a couple of weeks without reminiscing by smelling his dead azz.

the blood on the other end is where traildigger hit it( the back) i wasnt sure if he was going to hit, and the reason i use a 7mm is simple its the only gun i have to hunt with :bash: not exactly the cheapest thing to shoot but i can sure reach out and put a world of hurt on them plus even if i miss the shock wave alone will knock them over for a second shot lol.
Post by: VarmintVentilator on December 20, 2011, 06:35:57 PM
Up until this year my kills came from picking up Falfire's misses, but since he got that T3 he doesn't miss. When this one slipped into our right at 179 yds, I figured close enough it's my turn. :IBCOOL:

VarmintVentilator ranged him for me and I centered the crosshairs and sent one his way only to realize I had put the crosshair directly on him instead of my first hold over line.......Senior Moment :DOH: :dunno: So anyway he took a few steps and stopped on the rocks and I shoved in another 55gr Ballistic Tip, held up on the first stadia line and made smoke again..... :bash: Hit'em in the left hip low and off he goes. Sent a third one down the tube on a hope shot but he vanished into thin air :hello: See ya!!
So I hike my sorry butt over to the area where he was last seen leaving with a sore butt and finally caught a glimpse of him running north bound and down, loaded up and trucking'.... :sry:
So I find a place to go prone and touched one off just a little behind him........Okay, okay....... it was WAYYYY behind him.
Anyway, he runs up to some rocks that he can't get over somewhere around 190 yards and decides to turn back and run down the hill. My uh...eehhh um, 5th round connects and rolls him into the brush. So I hikes my sorry azz over to where he is laying in the brush only to find he is still very much alive and very much pissed off at me for blowing his running gear out and his guts all over the rocks :rolleyes: So now I got to find a way to end all this knowing full well I am going to get a real azzchewing from you know WHO!! Now I finally put him to rest with round #6 at 12 feet. I drag his sorry and missing azz out of the brush only to hear VarmintVentilator laughing his azz off yelling something about "Anything left?" I responded by saying "HEY, I was just checking zero, he was dead on the first shot :chuckle: I thought he was going to load up his underwear from laughing so hard :chuckle:
So here he is, but his guard hairs were to thin and he had a touch of the mange so I left him for the birds.
One more for SBA

There are still a few around,but we are cleaning up the neighborhood pretty good, though we saw a total of ten or so today, most were just too fer out of reach or we didn't have permission to hunt the ground they were on.

Actually I was going to put the tape all over the gun and tell everyone I hand pen stripped it in my custom shop..........But I don't have a custom shop and VarmintVentilator was in a hurry to go call dogs, so that's as far as it got :yike: :dunno: :chuckle:

1,2,3,4,5,6, yes six rounds at one dog. And I thought Falfire had those misses out of his system. By the way, that dead coyote looked better than F F did by the time he got back to where I was sitting. O well he did get the dog, and I didn't have to waste any bullets backing him up. 8)
Hey now.....Get to bed Mister!

I have been working on a AR project in 204. Well, I should clarify that, Swag has been working on it for me and I just got it this week. Got it to zero and pretty impressed with it although it still is going to get some getting used to.....just feels a bit different than the old standby. Changes in lead are not as much as I thought but still do exist. First dog I shot was mousing in some snowy sage and when I lip squeeked him he popped his head up looking for the source. He was about 250 and I held on his throat. Hit him dead center on the bottom jaw (with him facing me). He no longer had a bottom jaw but the 40grainers didn't have enough to make it instantly fatal. I'm starting to rethink where it is I hold on these dogs with the 204. Second dog also required a follow up shot to plant him.
All in all, happy with it, need to spend a little more time with it to make sure :chuckle: Swag called and said he picked up a big dog later that day and we took a picture of the 3 together.

You got to be careful when you have Swag's fingers on a rifle. He apparently feels the need to go the extra mile and "customize' it for you :chuckle: I thought I'd share
Thanks for all your work Swag on putting it together :tup:

Got to go out for 2 hours this am ( She said no more cause the family was showing up @ 10am). Made 2 sets, this female came in @ 5 min, standing frontal shot 97 yrds. Another female on the 2nd set @ 3 min, broadside at 24 yds just before she was getting ready to bugger out. Made it back in time. I'm happy cause I got to go, and my wife is happy that I made it back in time and that's what counts.

Nice job Chuck. Feel bad because you pretty much have all the points for our team. I've been out alot but no luck at all. Seen one going around a cliff and spooked it and couldn't get a shot off and that's what my season has been like. Hoping for some snow, helps me out quite a bit.

First one was a real pretty dog at 125 yards with the 204, this is the exit side, surpirsed it passed through. He ran about 60 yards and tipped over.
(https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi178.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fw252%2FDirtydog_pics%2FDSC_00082.jpg&hash=e4216aa33101d783282f8f847e21da34ef98f466)
This dog I was just trying to mind my own business and go to the post office and he crossed the road 400 yards from my house. I'm thinking he had been on the suicide watch list for awhile. Again with the 204 close to 300 yards. Mercy kill. I don't like not seeing the impact through the scope. I shot and heard the hit and he just disappeared. Anyway, this one kind of reminded me of one of Swags old highschool girlfriends :chuckle:

I'll just say that between Swag and "Gringa", she was still the better looking one of the pair. :chuckle: I can still remember you two walking hand in hand and parents would cover their childrens eyes and cross to the other side of the street. :chuckle: :chuckle:
I was able to go out and pick up these 2 more for team Dogpile with the 204. First one at 326 yards the second at 245. I took my brother out and he missed one at 120 as well. I could hear Swag in the back of my mind saying, "he would have kept coming". Indeed, that one would have and I had no chance for a follow up.

Here is a snap shot of another place I love to hunt, there are coyotes and bobbies in this area.

So, I will be getting a score sheet up this week, since I don't see one yet (I haven't read through all the pages), updating teams that I received some pm's on, and that should get us up to date. After my next post, please let me know if I missed anything or anyone, and I will correct it ASAP. Thanks for your patience, and I hope their isn't too much bad stuff written about me when I go through and tally scores. :chuckle:

(2 more for SBA)
The first yote tried to leave the game early, while I was walking in to make my first set of the day, didn't make it, 250 yds running straight away. Second yote came in across a wheat field to within 60 yds, after 15 mins of calling and me saying a few choice words, why nothing was responding.

Made about 5 sets today, on # 2 set; a small female responded within 3 mins, stopped here at 25 yds, about 8 mins later a pair decided to show up. Dropped the female at 60 yds, but not able to stop the male, 2 shots later. #4 set; another female decided to commit suicide at about 90 yds.
Did have a yote try to out run the Ford today, he ran along side the truck about 30 yds out for about 600 yds or more yards before he decide to go the other direction. It was funnier then H*ll.

Post by: Swag on January 01, 2012, 12:37:18 PM
So yesterday chuck & I went out to some new ground that he got permission to hunt. After making a few stands we hadn't seen a thing. We moved over to some ground that I usually hunt, but have not had much luck on lately. So as we are working or way to our first stand out pops a dog into an alfalfa field at 200 yards. So to be polite, I let chuck take the shot, and the mangy guy dropped.
So we moved on to another stand that usually calls for some of those long distance shots so I offered chuck the option to barrow my ar-10 just incase we needed to get little more distance then the 223. He was more than willing, we literly just sat down & were getting ready to call when chuck spots a dog moving across the canyon about 400 yards aways. The wind had shifted & we were busted. For the next 30 seconds all he could say was "can I shoot it" there was no point in calling so he drew done on a second one that had came out at the bottom of the canyon and dropped him. Two for Ol chuck & i managed to pull down one mangy one, on the way out. Not a bad day. Three more for team dog pile

IF you call that bad mange....you should see some of the last few dogs we've killed. IMHO, when the mange starts really showing up, you have thinned them a bit too hard. I'm not talking about general population, but I work the same areas, no mange early season, later have the rats move in looking for a new place where they aren't picked on.
Way to keep after them! I went out sturgeon fishing after church today and should have gone yote hunting. All I got was 2 small bites and cold.

VV, Why did you let em get that close? Usually Falfire would have had at least a couple rounds off @ the 500 yds mark :)
Nice shooting FalFire, We didn't get out today due to alcohol poisoning, was up at 5 but just couldn't seem to make it out the door . Did get about a inch of snow last nite

Gringo, that last dog was showing the better side, I've killed them that didn't have but maybe 4 hairs on their whole body.......That's bad mange when it get's like that, when they look like a rat terrier.

On the 6th set we heard one coming in behind us, we both turned to look, he stopped at about 20 ft away and gave us a very strange look. I think he was sizing us up. No shot winded us and was gone like a shot. The next set called in this small male to within 40 yards, almost missed, low heart shot he ran about 50 yds. Did get it on video, will post when I figure out how to do it.

The freezer is getting full, it will only handle 7 or 8 dogs depending on size. Plus I can usually get a couple of porcupines and ray-coons in there too.
We usually send 7 to 10 dogs down at a time plus the porkys and raccoons we get, all of them have been taken since Nov 1, 2011.
Unfortunately, I haven't even taken photos of all the critters we kill including coyotes but most get posted.
VarmintVentilator and I hunt hard, it's early mornings and late evenings several days a week. I'm not working right now so I have time to play more than before.
Still it's been a very slow year, dogs just haven't been seen much and we put a lot of miles on our boots to get the few we have been lucky enough to find. I missed two more dogs today, well I think I may have hit one of them but never found it, one was 377 yards and the second one I missed for certain, was 403 and moving :dunno: I'll kill him next week :IBCOOL:

Except for that 6 shot miss morning a couple of weeks back, he has been lights out. It's been fun to watch, cause he's worked his butt off for these dogs. Now I get one every now and then hope'in I see the dog before he does. Maybe I'll have to start hitting them when there 400yds. out to slow him up a bit. :chuckle:
Hey now, I hit that dog 3 times, I was laughing at myself so hard I couldn't hit him on the run! :chuckle:
It was a chip shot at 279 yards and I forgot to use my hold over :bash: He sure left in a hurry but the second round caught him and broke the right rear wheel which slowed him down to 30 mph....dead dog though!!
I think I need to do some reloading now :chuckle:

Got this male to come in this morning to 120 yds with some howling and the old raspy rabbit. On the next stand in a completely different area tried that and everything else I had but he (or she) just ignored me. It was 360yds out, but it was on top of a hill in the skyline, and I won't take those shots.

Dang VV, It's hard to tell who's smiling more, you or the coyote :)
No kidding! If he smiles, his eyes cross and then he walks sideways for a few days mumbling to himself :chuckle:

First call female 60 yds, 3rd call small male 200 yds, 5th call missed at 499. My camera man was getting a little pissy, so i let him carry a gun this time. We where walking over a knoll, a yote took off 50 yds in front of us going into a canyon with no way out. The only thing I heard as he ran by me was " longer legs bitch". His 6 foot and 22 years old, I'm 47 and 5'9. #3 down 150 yds running. 7th call, yote came into with 72 yds busted us, was able to nail him at 140 yds running. 9th call, called in 3 yotes first yote responded within 3 mins, killed at 100 yds, 2nd yote 3 mins later 8 feet from the first yote. 3rd yote came in to the right, not able to shoot, reason skylined. Great day!

I heard the bullet connect and he put the after burners on for about 100 yards then piled up, a solid double lung shot :bfg:
Nasty looking little booger, he was mangin' up and real scrawny, but the 70gr Berger VLD out of the Remmy 700 SPS Tactical made it easy to put this one on the ground for the birds.

:pee: on Los Angeles!
Well this morning turned sour on me. I popped a dog out at 270 yards only to have him do the death spin and jump dance then run off, leaving me with only a tuft of hair as a going away present. Looks like most of them are beginning to rub pretty badly so I believe it's time to switch up to the 243 and 55 or 58 grainers to blow them inerds outwards and not worry about pelts.
So, it's off to the reloading room to make more boolits!! :whoo:

Went out this AM, 1st set had a hard charger all the way, couldn't stop him at all. Finally he stopped right at the call and I'm sure I could see the WTF look on his face. I put him down @ 24 yrds, I didn't see the other 2 that followed him in about 150 yrds behind untill they were leaving faster than they were probably coming in . I gave the closest one a warning shot just to see it turn on the afterburners. 2nd set was dry. 3rd set this female came in and paused broadside @ 43yrds. I think SBA is about ready to hit the 100 mark. :chuckle:

Thanks Swag,
I appreciate all the help I can get, it's been tough finding anything that suits me. Problem is, when I tell them I'm only looking for employment and not work they just look at me funny and say. "Thanks, uh.....we'll give ya a call back!" :dunno:
Anyways out of shear boredom after breakfast, I went down to the creek and popped this porky that was hang in' out in a tree.
Oh..... and this coyote decided to beat feet it out of the brush on my way back to the truck! Go figure! :bash:

Way to go Falfire according to my spreadsheet you just broke the 100 mark for SBA :IBCOOL:
Well fine, I think I'll take a break tomorrow and work on my bunkhouse.
I have some framing to do and more sheet rock work to do inside.
It's going to be a reloading house and guest house, I'll be able to shoot out to at least 1000 yards from this setup.
It will have two queen sized beds upstairs and a few amenities. Eventually it will get a new 16x14 deck on the back side and concrete slab too.
This is what i've been tinkering with when I am not killing dogs.

I completely re did all the plumbing in copper, all new fixtures, toilets, sinks, built new showers, all new cabinets, etc. Built new walls, tore out old walls, had new vinyl wrapped windows installed, new ceramic flooring in the basement, new hardwood flooring in the main upper level, everything was replaced, new heat pump, furnace, water heater, well tank, etc. I dug up the well head and had an extension and new pump installed, new front deck, new roof, new seamless steel siding, etc. I busted up the old concrete driveway pad and put down new asphalt and ran all new underground water lines to the shed and shop.
I still have a full kitchen remodel facing me and looking forward to that challenge in the coming months.
And through it all, I still found time to tinker on the old milk shed shown in the photos. It's been a great experience for me and hopefully, I get it all done before I kick the bean can. :chuckle:

Went out early this morning, I know, I said I was going to take a break! But I was sitting here this morning drinking coffee and decided to take a couple of hours to pursue ol' wiley before I have to get busy here at home, out by 6:30 back home at 9:30.
I heard probably a dozen howling, seen 4, killed two, then came home to french toast, sausage and hot coffee.

I have the same problem with Gringo, except he reminds me constantly how great of a shot he is regardless of the amount of rounds he sends flying. :hunt2: At least your pain is putting up dogs for your team. For most of our team has hit a real slump in the dogs. I think they have all wised up & are staying out of a 20 mile area around Gringo's house. Very little sign, won’t answer the call can t even seem to find them in the spotlight. :dunno: :dunno:

Thanks guys, it's been a lot of fun learning all the things that I have no idea what I'm doing with. After I purchased this small ranch in August 2005, we walked into 5 inches of water on December 26th 2005. It was a complete mess, everything in the basement was destroyed. So began the remodel on the house. I completely gutted the the basement and replaced all the electrical through out the entire house, that was a piece of cake since I spent over 15 years in the electrical trade. Installed all new underground power to my shop and shed.
I completely re did all the plumbing in copper, all new fixtures, toilets, sinks, built new showers, all new cabinets, etc. Built new walls, tore out old walls, had new vinyl wrapped windows installed, new ceramic flooring in the basement, new hardwood flooring in the main upper level, everything was replaced, new heat pump, furnace, water heater, well tank, etc. I dug up the well head and had an extension and new pump installed, new front deck, new roof, new seamless steel siding, etc. I busted up the old concrete driveway pad and put down new asphalt and ran all new underground water lines to the shed and shop.

This small male was trying to cross a green wheat field, only made it about 182 yds before he was stopped for go. The next was a female, I called for about 3 mins then the caller quit. (dead batteries) Just before I got up to change the batteries I noticed a pair was coming across the wheat field, stopped her at about 50 yds not able to get the male. :bash:

That was a toad of a dog. I was disappointed when I put him on the scale. I thought he would go near 40#. If I remember he was only like 34#.

It's 7am, I slept in a little today, yesterday wore my butt out, but after this cup of java, I'm out of the house and hitting' it again, my wife is even tagging along today with me.
VarmintVentilator is out busting geese today and he and I should be back out together tomorrow morning calling' and killin' :hunt2:
I think today is going to be an AR day, too many not stop runners so perhaps I can put down that double I missed on yesterday :mgun:

Falfire, I am trying really hard to find you a job.... :dunno: just so you do not have as much time everyday to go hunting.... :chuckle:
Thanks Swag,
I appreciate all the help I can get, it's been tough finding anything that suits me. Problem is, when I tell them I'm only looking for employment and not work they just look at me funny and say. "Thanks, uh.....we'll give ya a call back!" :dunno:
Anyways out of shear boredom after breakfast, I went down to the creek and popped this porky that was hang in' out in a tree.
Oh..... and this coyote decided to beat feet it out of the brush on my way back to the truck! Go figure! :bash:

Exactly, Porkys destroy trees, eating the bark and we have a lot of Porkys and not many trees where I'm at.

Thats some dam nice (as you said "lucky") shooting. Those that practice and plan are always the most lucky.
It was just dumb luck too, although I did check zero this morning before heading' out. I hit my 300 yard steel target twice and figured I was good enough for the day.
Funny, I took the AR today because yesterday I had so many runners and trying to kill'em at 150 plus yards with a bolt gun ain't an easy task, so today I whack this one way beyond my dreams with a 223 at 360 yards on the first round..... talk about DUH!
I wouldn't have even believed it if my wife wasn't there to see it happen and the look on her face was :yike: " WoW.....Ya hit it" :yike:
In this photo there is a fence post directly in front of my truck, I used that post for a rest. This shows the killer hike up the hill to get the coyote and I'm still not to the dog yet, it's farther up the hill.

" Oh hell yeah, it's common, happens every day" :o Riiiiiight!! Of course trying to gasp for air while talking was an extra effort and darn near caused me to have another stroke!

About 190 yards out he chose his last mouse to munch on when I put the re-barreled Stevens 200 25-06 to work sending the 85gr. Nosler Ballistic Tip tearing through his chest. The look on his face was DOH! :yike: as he slammed to the ground. The wind gusts were getting worse by the minute so I decided to call it a day early.

Looks like you bought the Glorfield place. Used to be 80 - 100 less coyotes a year on that loop when Travis and I were around for the winter. The last full winter I was home was '03 and I stayed at George Knott's place and Travis and I fed and calved for him while he was dying of cancer. I built a 12 twist .243 and slayed about 60 that winter with a 75 grain V-max. Chuck's little strech is always good because he always has a few dead cows in the winter.

I had seen this guy from over 600yds out and got set up. I literally threw eight different sounds at this one before the commitment was established on his part. I lost sight of him as he was a downwinder! Not a good choice on his part. I pretty much knew where he was headed so I packed up and headed towards him. He was eventually going to cross my scent path by going the way he did. I got to where I felt good with the shot options I had if he were to pop out. Laying down prone I squeeked and guess who popped up on the hill 60yds from me! Looking directly into the sun and only able to make out a silouette of him standing full frontal the .223 connected with a chest shot and the death spin began down the backside of the hill. I had to stop the suffering from the first shot,hence the multiple breathing holes.

Heavy heavy fog. Did 2 stands, and I'm headed home now. Can't see pass 100yrd. Hope the rest of talk had better luck.
I went out Monday morning to do a couple of stands at a friend's place who said the coyotes are thick. It was foggy, and nothing was moving. Same thing trying to spotlight in the fog--nothing! I've come to the conclusion that hunting on foggy days is a waste of time.

I really have no clue :dunno: I simply don't keep track, however, had I known there were two dogs this morning coming to the call, we would have had both. VarmintVentilator was on the rifle and saw both but from my location I only saw the female and when she came into my view I delivered her some #4 buckshot.
I just stuff my freezer full then load them up in the pickup and haul 'em to the taxi. He keeps what he wants and tosses the rest, then says bring me more......so I bring more. I only go out for a couple of hours, two or three days a week.
Today was an 11 dog day but I shot at only one other and he was 803 yards out :yike: I was just poking' fun at him though :chuckle:

Nice job FF, going to hit it tomorrow, its going to be very noisy, but have to do it, because its the weekend. :IBCOOL:
Good luck and kill a few for us. It's going to be cold and dark tonight with barely any moon.
I'll be up at 4am and out at first light, then back home for breakfast around 9am, I have some plumbing and framing to work to do after that. Maybe I'll get back out tomorrow afternoon to smoke some powder. :tup:
Have fun guys.

Nice job on all the dogs guys. The only question I have, is how many clips did it take for Gringo to get that many dogs

Ha! Funny you should ask, let’s just say more than once I heard the expression "I am Out" earthier he was pronouncing his sexuality or he had run out of ammo Again...
True story....I shot the first 3 with 3 rounds. We had 40mph winds and there was one or two that I just couldn't figure out where to hold. Then when they got to running, more tries didn't exactly help. Longer range was better if it was in my face. I'll admit, I was guessing, not even sure I hit any that were in the crosswind side.
Great to see you knock the dust off Wile E. Hunter! :tup:

This male and his girfriend were curious but wouldn't commit. Shot him at 239 yrds. I'm resorting to shooting the cripples now apparently. Looks like a trap took off his foot.

Speaking of rain, that and wind is all we had here this past weekend and the calling sucked for the couple of hours I did get out, it was a mucky, muddy, sloppy mess.
I howled up 1 dog on Saturday and did get a shot but the round must have hit some tall grass and never made it to the dog. Saw 7 dogs on Sunday but couldn't get to any of them, I would have had to cover wide open ground and they had the elevation advantage. I saw 1 dog on Monday but the wind and the muddy mess made it real tough to try to even hike in a mile plus for one dog.
Maybe next time :dunno:

It's about half and half this year. Those above were shot with the .20 Tac as the whizzer is due for it's 20K maintenance :) Still deciding which bullet for the WSSM, been shooting the 70gr Nosler and the results so far are good. But would like get a little more speed.
I have been considering taking mine out of the safe once again but just have too many other things going on right now. I would like to find another load that will work in it without destroying the pelts. :dunno:
Post by: Bullelk on February 06, 2012, 09:33:09 PM
The first one is a poor yote that I picked up night hunting on Friday night. Night hunting is tough on an old guy like myself. Didn't make it out Sat i was to shot from Friday. Did make it out Sunday, called in 4 and dropped 3. I watched the pair come in over 600 yds away and it took them almost 15 min's before i shot them at about 60 yds. I watched the single come in over 300 yds it took him 10 min's to close the gap. Looks like one should make at least 20 minute sets. :dunno:

Then had another encounter with 2 groups , witch lead to howling at each other for over a hour. No kills there either. Third, set up at a new spot, called wwaited, got up to leave after 20min and didn't notice there was a yote in the brush about 200yrd. He started his barking , then turned on the jets once I stood up.
Fun day, With I could of let the air out of that 1st one. :sry:

The first yote was a female, had to shoot her at 240 yds, she came in to within 150 yds didn't like something and tried to leave, NOT! The second was funny, I was sitting next to the road waiting for Big10 to pick me up. I heard a yote in the distance so i got the call out and responded. Two mins later it was a lot closer, about 10 mins and 3 different sounds later I shot him 100 yds off the road. :dunno:

VV and I went out yesterday for a couple of hours, we saw a total of 7 dogs. We had a pair at 296 yards but we would have been shooting through some tall grass and were concerned that our bullets would deflect and not make it to the target for clean kills so we passed. Two other dogs were on a hillside 850 yards out so we played with them for about 30 minutes barking and howling at each other, it was pretty cool to have an ongoing ass-kicking threat session with this pair. They didn't want to come our way and of course we couldn't get to them due to wide open chiseled ground that we would have had to cover for the distance, so we threw challenge barks and howls at them. They stood their ground though and made it quite interesting. We will try to get out again this week to create more havoc among the population and hold up our end of the load. Hopefully, there will be a willing participant that will want to play and be photographed for this months issue of Dog-Be-Dead. :chuckle:

Falfire, what are you using for a rifle?
I usually use my Tikka 22-250, but on occasion, I'll take one of my AR's either 223, 243WSSM or 6x45. This time of year when the chance of calling in a pair is common, I'll take an AR, but I really don't use 30 round mags :chuckle: normally just a 5 round mag

What can you tell me about the .243 wssm?
The 243WSSM is a great little round that can give you an edge in velocity over the standard 243Win round, not much, but some and of course that too depends on barrel quality and length. The only major downside to the WSSM is the brass, some people complain that they cannot find it, although I have never found that to be the case, usually it is stocked regularly by several suppliers both internet and local, depending on where you are. The brass is thick, I mean real thick and seems to last forever was long as you don't go overboard on your reloads by pushing the envelope on powder charges. Resizing takes a little getting used to, it takes a little more effort to resize the brass but once you get the hang of it, things begin to go smoothly as in any other reloading.
Mine is a 10 twist 20 inch barrel, I purchased it used fom the gun show in Puyallup years ago. It is a factory Oly Arms upper and has turned in some awesome one hole 5 shot groups in the .3's using the Barnes 72gr. flat based varmint bullets. However, normally, I'll get 1" groups with just about any of the more common bullets i.e. V-Max, Noslers, Sierra stuff. Keep in mind I do all of my testing at 150 yards with a 200 yard zero mainly because most of my kills are right around 150 yards give or take a yard and at 300 yards I'm still easily on hair for a hit.
Velocities and BC's are what make a good coyote gun, especially when you are shooting in wind and where I hunt, we get wind. The 95gr Ballistic Tips perform really well on both coyotes and deer well out to "Oh my God" range, plus they fit well in the WSSM's short case and standard AR15 magwell. You can shoot 105' or 108's but to get maximum effeciency, you may need to modify the magazine slightly to stretch the OAL some.
Factory ammo is available if you do not reload, but I thought that you did, I may be wrong :dunno:
You can get a lightweight barrel from Mile Milli at http://www.dtechsuperstore.com/ Mike will build you a rifle or an upper that will twist your mind in accuracy, but it could take a while to get one delivered, he is super busy building custom guns but it's worth the call any ways. Personally, I would opt for a 22" light profile 8 twist and keep the rest of the setup as light as possible, AR's can get heavy pretty quickly.
Magazines.....You can modify any 20 round G.I. mag to fit and feed the WSSM case, it's really easy to do so no need to buy special mags. The only real catch to it all is the WSSM AR is not something you can build yourself unless you already have the machined upper and bolt carrier group. There are slight modifications that are required to machining of these uppers that need to be left to the smith that knows what he is doing.
Now.......All that said, Oly Arms is now making their factory GameStalker rifle that uses a slightly longer mag well, this will benefit the WSSM shooter in a big way. It will allow the use of the longer VLD bullets for maximum long distance shooting and the lower is compatible with standard AR15 uppers. This is exciting news and something I would look into if I were looking at the WSSM offering. It will accept the newer longer magazines which will compliment the WSSM and 22-250 calibers and that's a good thing.
I hope this helps :tup:

Wow! thats a lot of info. Thanks. In your experience, is it realistic to think of saving fur with any of the .243 wssm loads?
VarmintVentilator uses 95 grain Ballistic Tips in his 243Win, I use 55gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips in my 243Win. We have both found that the Noslers are somewhat of a tough bullet and in many cases make a small exit hole that can easily be sewn up by the taxi. The V-Max bullets tend to blow the crap out of the pelts leaving them, for the most part, useless. Now that doesn't mean that every time we shoot a dog with a Ballistic Tip that we end up with perfect pelts but we have found the Noslers tend to be more forgiving in most kills. Again, the velocity differences between the two calibers (243Win and 243WSSM) is not a determining factor of bullet fragmentation.
So for the sake of saving fur, the 243 is not your best choice to begin with, but you can get by with it by using certain bullets and being careful where you place it on the animal. If I were to build an AR15 for a long range target gun (600) yards, I would opt for the Grendel, 6BR or 6.5BR because the brass is top quality from Lapua, but for coyotes, even the WSSM is a fine choice. Don't get caught up in the old BS of "Well I can load factory magazines with 20 rounds in my 6.5XXXXX whatever. For coyotes, a single shot works just as well and you really shouldn't need more than 2 or 3 rounds on a pair of dogs, anything over 3 shots on a pair is slinging' lead into the atmosphere and is worthless spent ammo. For the fun factor, I have sent lead flying a time or 12 but usually I'll send one or two and call it good.

FalFire summed it up great. Personally, to me, the 243wssm isn't too realistic of a pelt-saving gun. My favorite this time of year when the pelts basically rubbed and not suitable to sell. Talk about some knock-down devistation with a larger grained v-max bullet!

Kind of sorry to see the Madness come to a close but time to get back to work and create something exciting or not! :dunno: :chuckle:
Great job everyone, I had fun and I hope everyone else did as well. Not sure what the final count is but I'm sure we all prevented a few deer from becoming happy meals for coyotes.
Maybe next year will be even better :brew:

I'd just like to take this opportunity to congratulate the guys that stepped up to join Team Maybe Next Time. Even though we didn't win, you guys exceeded my expectations, with no help out of me. I still had fun, and am not sorry we got into the event with all its fits and starts.
Maybe next time I won't have to fly back east right in the middle of everything. Good job, guys!

Way to stick it out. I want to thank my team. This was my first year hunting yotes. What a experience. I apologize I didn't put up the #'s, but I did get out there, and it was a learning experience. I had a blast , and made some new friends.
Thanx, PredatorPro, Aer212, DontGetCrabs, and HereDoggyDoggy. Also Kim204 & 204ChuckNorris, Thanx for taking the time to teach this rookie.

so where is a final picture of the dogpile?
It doesn't look much different than before, you get it built up pretty good and it seems to settle or sink back down to where it was. BTW, anyone looking for any coyote skulls? I'm sure the pile of years past wouldn't mind some rummaging.
Hats off to you guys!

Ol Gringo won’t leave me alone about getting these last couple of dogs posted up, it doesn’t really matter but at least I won’t have to listen to him for the rest of the year... He shot these 2 on the 26 of January I just have not had time to get them posted up...

I'd like to see Gringo's reloading room.
:chuckle:
Either that or the pallet of rounds that I buy at a time? :chuckle: :chuckle:
I had 63 in my mind but I'm thinking those 2 that Swag posted late probably didn't count? Even with 63 I'll catch hell from Swag as I told him my goal was 65. You just can't please some people :chuckle:
Looking at the numbers this is my take:
CamoKen - 61 Total Sleeper! We just got to get him to tell his stories of the kills a bit more. Too much carnage not to share.
Bullelk - 48 is rockin and with video to boot! Most impressed with the video :tup: :tup: :tup:
Big10gauge- 43 is not too shabby for someone who hunted about half of the time. I think he hunts half the time open sights and in hunter orange to keep it fair.
FALFire - 32 seemed like less that I would have guessed. I know I was about to put a few ads in the paper to find you a job ;)
Swag - 25 Solid showing for my bud "The Professor", he puts in a lot of effort. Oh, the nick name is due to his abilty to "educate" coyotes. :o
kim204 - 21 Another sleeper and solid perfomance and I thought he had more than 21 :tup:
MtnMuley - 16 I'm still waiting for his 2nd and 3rd pic to come out. I think SBA just didn't post them as they already beat 2nd place by 50 dogs :yike:
VarmintVentilator - 13 has got to be a typo. Either that or he only counted the ones he shot over 450 yards.
All in all....once again this has been a hoot. SBA are true champs and I'm thinking I'm going to have to relish the ONE time I've seen them beaten, they get out, get after it, burn the shoe leather, can flat out shoot and have a lot of fun doing it. I'm lucky and work to keep the dogs away from livestock and its nice for the dogs to be coming from wherever into your area.
I hunt much of the same ground and it appears that it takes 2.5-3 months to rid them from my area. That last month the last 2 years has been brutal. The dogs are just MIA and no more seem to want to move into the area. :dunno:
Again, I'm most impressed with the video posted this year. That is top notch!

OK, so, I need to know who to send the Mike Eastman book to.
The "highest scoring member" and the "member taking most coyotes" is probably going to be the same person, correct? Since I think we're talking about only east side coyotes here, so they're worth the same points.
Or in this case, it's the same TWO people- CamoKen and Gringo31. Which works out well, since you tied for two prizes. Maybe you can decide between the two of you who gets which prize? If not, we'll have to have you pick a random number or something, I guess. :dunno:
Oh, and thanks so much guys for taking out so many fawn killers! :tup:

We recounted gringo's dogs and came up with 61 again.
Page # Coyotes taken
page 26 #'s 48,49,50
page 30 #'s 51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59
page 39 #'s 60,61
On page 30, post #477? gringo posted up #59 and claims "that should make 60". If we missed something here it was by mistake, but please help us be sure this is right, we want to be correct.
As soon as we have this count decided for sure, if it is a tie, I propose that we give one of them the book and one of them the calendar. I think we should let them decide which prize they prefer unless they both want the same prize.
Waiting for a response from gringo and camoken.... :) :dunno:

Photos.....I had a hard time with this one. On one hand, Swag's pic is one that will probably never be duplicated at least not by him. Especially the scenario where I was catching those frozen geese the day before, didn't tell him and he sends me that pic the next day.
Bullelk's video are not as unique and there are lots of videos out there. It is something I've done in the past and have ruined too many stands by trying to get the right footage and screwed up the hunt. In a setting where we are counting dogs as a part of a contest, for him to take the time to video, post up for us all to share is top notch.
Sorry Swag.....that is an awesome pic, but I gotta vote for the videos. :tup:
