Speaking of warped, here is my one and only hockey stick coyote. That's right, I killed the bugger with a hockey stick; the slap shot is unbelieveable. Steve ![[Linked Image]](http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a180/dogzapper/hockeycoyote.jpg) BTW Steve.....................your my new hero

belly laughin' here.
thanks for the pics and stories, guys.
and jds: what are the red cloth things on the horses?
fly screens?
i love this place.
even you, mickey. i'll show you - one day ... They're extra orange vests we had with us. All the horses and gear belonged to us (not an outfitted hunt), the season was still open, and we didn't want them getting shot. We had 3 elk racks and 2 muledeer racks riding on top and we didn't want anybody getting any bright ideas.

Nice pics Mac, wish we had snow for hunting every now and then. I like the looks of the rifle, have I seen it on the campfire before?
Now with even more aplomb

JDS44--Your state and NC remind me very nuch of Va. I love all three and, in fact, I have several friends who are involved in a development project near one of the many beautiful lake area you have in Tennessee! Is boar hunting still huge in your state. Some years back I went to a place called (Cosslands)(something like that) and I saw pigs everywhere. I can only imagine that the mountain hunting for boars there is still rather incredible.

Dear Steve,
I always knew there was something different about you. Knowing you carry a hockey stick with you when hunting coyotes with the .280AI explains a lot, though.
How come you don't just use a .270 and be done with the stick? Why carry that along?
Don't use a .300 WM like I did once, either. I had to put my boot on the coyote's neck and bring on its demise with a stick I broke off, but even that beats hauling a hockey stick around.
Your pal,
Curtis

I almost want to say we should start calling him 'dogslapper, but that could get tricky. I can see it now, " What are you lookin' at, ya hockey puck?" Rick

(Psst ... Rick, over here ... Steve's, um, ah ... okay, isn't he, last you heard? Too nice a guy, really, to lose his marbles!  ) My goal is to drive dogzapper from lurkdom and out into the open!

Thanks, 7STW. RE: the bike? Hmmm. Was a big help, but it wasn't exactly a walk in the park. Had to have someone sit on the front rack for ballast, as it kept wanting to flip. Destroyed a game sled, and at one point I became the meat in a moose and 4 wheeler sandwich (flipped backwards), but no real harm done. Grueling hunt, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Bull's rack wasn't anything impressive by trophy standards, but I think he's just perfect! Another shot of me and the wheeler. They are pretty impressive machines.

I think ya got a good bull there.Your sure right about the fourwheelers.Those bike sure help the chore of packing out the big stuff.Looks like some nasty alders there.
Also think the ocean sea-duck hunt is something that looks like fun.
