Today, we took another little tour.. Only saw one sitting in the shad of some old trees.. Spotted him with binocs.. Too far for my revolvers, so I tried the Marlin .30-30. 170 Horn did the job.. Kate made the retrieve.. No pics til we got home..

Wyo: I love seeing the little baby dog digging all this stuff! Likewise congrats on the 1911 shooting. Wayyyyy back in the day I qualified 'Expert' with one of those....still can't tell you how, cause if we were locked up in a phone booth together I couldn't hit you with a 1911.....

My God that last jack is huge! Looks like a blast!

I hate to blow the lid off the thread this early in the year, but we just set a record for most rabbits in a single morning. It was 3 below when we left this morning to a clear sky and no wind by Big Timber. The snow was drifted in a couple places, but we dug and chained up, nothing will stop us from hunting rabbits. Some people think they work to get elk, we work plenty hard for rabbits, and it pays off. The storm hit a few.. By noon, my son's wife called saying the furnace wouldn't turn on and he had to call it quits at noon with over 50 rabbits in the pot. Those that were blown too badly to keep were left for the coyotes... Shrap green with envy.

Damn dude! First you are the Musky Slaying MoFo, now you are consistently calling in cats in Ky.... Do you always pick the hard stuff first?

RWE- that's hilarious. I quit believing in camo when I was teenager. Don't own a single piece of it. I have found is you sit still and STFU you are just as successful.
Ingwe. We have a ton of cats around here. At least where I'm At. I call more cats than coyotes and fox. Just the kind of country it is I reckon. We are only allowed 5 a year which is 3 by gun, 2 by trap.

You still look like a teenager Out in the styx, wearing earth tones, sporting a white caller and a scattergun, banging pussy in the woods.... You give us old guys hope....

Thanks RWE. I was born a few decades too late. I don't own a synthetic gun. Wood and blue for me.

It does not go unappreciated.... Finn IS the most handsome antelope guide in the world, but I didn't know ( and don't see....) he had a little dog of his own......

They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Late night double. We finally got some single digit cold.
