I didnt know they made zebra print vet wrap...that would make excellent snow camo, and its 'grippy' too...

First critter with my reloads. Bad thing is, I lost one of my loaded mags outta my pocket, somewhere on the sneak. Will look for it again this afternoon.... ![[Linked Image]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c124/huntsman22/guns/IMG_2204-1.jpg) The more I see that Ruger of yours Don, the more I keep thinking about it being at the top of my short list of wannas.. I was thinking the Ruger 17HMR would be a nice sized package, to have a 17 Fireball single shot on for a while... then Ruger comes out with that 17 Hornet... which is close enough to what I was looking for.. I've even been on the look out for a 22 Hornet locally, and consider an aftermarket barrel.... I've been checking the local shops, and those that order whatever ya want on line, say there is a waiting list for those things... that is the first gun I've been motivated over in a long time.. and every time Don posts pics of more critters its taken, it just ups the annie!

Well, we can't let Don have all the fun and the glory...
I am sure the 'envy' factor he is getting from some of us, is making him love his 17 Hornet all the more...

My gopher shooting pard had one of them built on a Ruger hornet years ago and Ive seen him kill thousands with it. It is just about Model Perfecto for gophs....
Also, I guess due to the small powder charge he has over 10K rounds down the barrel with no signs of degradation...

I use that stuff to wrap a bad ankle of mine all the time. Waterproof too! Love it!
It would be excellent to camo a gun for calling...

I'm thinking I might have to break out the paint in the spring and add some tan and green to my stock. More of a multi purpose camo instead of solid white

Great looking coyote and rifle Dog Hunter! Ingwe, hopefully the new call and the triple deuce will draw yote blood tomorrow.  If not, I'll go back to where I went this morning and found where they were digging out in a hay field and lay some Montgomery #2s and/or Montana #3s and have my sweet revenge.. You got your Foxpro yet? Ben

If'n I still lived closer that could be arranged... Are the coons still running out there? We haven't seen any tracks or any sign and are worried they diseased out. I was wanting to try out the coon fight sound on my Spitfire and go doggin' 'em too.

Coons is the reason I bought the foxpro...gotta load coon fight sounds into it. Not much sign of coons here now, until the temp gets over 30 degrees....
You guys gonna eat your coons?

best dog rifle IN THE WORLD...the original .17...the only "real" .17. DH, I don't have a 'real .17' anymore. Do you think that a 'pretend .17' of the 'Fireball' variety, would stand any chance of gettin' one of them doggies? Just the name,'Fireball', sounds kinda vicious to me.... She'll be here next week. Think it's worth a try? Or do I have to stick to stuffed aminals, with the fake?

You guys gonna eat your coons? They get skinned and the carcass gets thrown or used for yote bait.. We had in a good friend in Montucky while we were there and he and his bud killed a coon and cooked it in a fire in their dugout. He said it was really dry and lean, which surprised me because I'd always heard they were really greasy. Breaks coons got it tough and don't have much fat, I guess..

Fireball (and MachIV) does have a certain ring to it...You can try it, and see if it can run with the big dog...I have little confidence though.
