Re: Pics to get ya fired up on Predator season !!

First one of the year for me. Had an extra morning in WY after helping a buddy with his antelope hunt. Called one dog in three stands. Not bad by my standards. This one was a young male.

Here's my 9 year old with one he caught slipping across the pasture the other day. I was working on a rifle in the shop when I heard that 17HMR pop twice. He hollered "Dad I killed a coyote". And sure enough he did, at 159 yards too!

Re: Pics to get ya fired up on Predator season !!

Was out scouting deer with a buddy and his boy so tried a spot... Had the match rifle with and the DTACs burn right through a broadside yote (spin spin run run,, tumble)but seriously whack a facing one.. Glad the new barrels are on the coyote guns now:)

The little guy was giggling like crazy when I was blowing on the whistle but yotes didn't seem to mind..lol

Here's a pic I took back in mid-September. It was high noon and 105 degrees at the time. This cat was out snooping around on a prairie dog town looking for a quick meal. Unfortunately for him I know where he lives and on top of that cat season just opened!

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Sendero_man</div><div class="ubbcode-body">been looking hard at the 2.5-10x44 for a hunting scope..

glad to know you are happy with them !</div></div>
I really like em. I'll bet it'll be a good un. I'll take the Viper HS's all day long over most scopes I've used that cost twice as much. They have plenty of eye relief and the turrets are true and repeatable as it gets.
You been layin a bunch of them big Wyoming yotes in the shade this winter?

Skinney laying the lead on another one. This time with a spot/stalk. Screen capture from some more great HD video.

Re: Pics to get ya fired up on Predator season !!

First set of the day................single came in and grabbed the feather on a stick. I gave that one a KS handshake. Then a double came in and since they favored my area I dropped the first, partner dropped the second and I reassured it. Low and behold, a second double came in. We rolled them both. It will never happen again, but I will never forget this set.

What we were calling:

The first two down: (my partners kid went with us, he is now spoiled). In this pic you can see the change in contour and foliage. This is where we blended in. Awesome to get eye level when you can.

Re: Pics to get ya fired up on Predator season !!

Another good day but not many coyotes called. The first and only on some very good ground. My calling partners son took his first dog. Well worth it.

Mississippi Red, quartering in and lambasted by that little 17 fireball! 20grn accu-tip at about 130 yards. The Triji accupoints are some serious night shooting gear.
