Tomorrow is coyote hunting and then pistol shooting. Travis is in lust with the Freedom Arms and will end up one in .44 Magnum... Bob If you can not deal with reality, reality will deal with you....

Travis will be buying a 41 within a couple months, and then another, and another. Good luck on the yodel dogs! The only thing better than a dead coyote............is a dead wooof.

They can't hit things on the run. I'm thinking prairie dogs tomorrow. They don't run. Typically... Travis Originally Posted by Geno67 Trump being classless,tasteless and clueless as usual.

The action felt like a fine Swiss watch. People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

OP RJM Campfire Outfitter R Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 7,920 Rochester, N.H. USA	So Saturday morning we out in the field by dawn....with Travis blowing waaaaaaa...waaaaaaa.....in the middle of what looks like a pool table with stubble... And up over a small rise about 80 yards out comes this trotting coyote... Have him all lined up but made two mistakes...I didn't wait for him to stop...and lead him too much...so one stand and one blown coyote... ...so we drive to stand number II... This time I see the dog coming it over 100 yards out... He is coming right down the fence line and is going to run over me... About 80 yards out it stops and looks...but continues. About 60 yards out it leaves the fence and is going to cross in front of me...so I get the rifle up and start swinging with him wait for him to stop...and about 50 yards out he swaps ends in mid stride and is now full back toward the the fence...I get off two shots before he goes out of sight and then he comes into Travis' field of fire but he is at full speed at more than 100 yards... So we try spot number III...and this is a 100% spot...except this time because the field is full of cows.... So we go around to the backside of the field but strike out... Coyotes 2..... Bob 0 So we head for lunch.... If you can not deal with reality, reality will deal with you....

Shooting his new LUST...the FA 654... Breaking clay birds at 75 yards prone... Working on 50 yard clay birds with the FA 97... ..with his .44...he hits nothing.... [img]http://i17.photobucket.com/alb...tion%207-15-14/070_zpsbf4d2570.jpg[/img] ..but with my 657 Mountain Gun he hit a water filled milk jug 4/6 at 100 DOUBLE ACTION... So at breakfast this morning Travis said he did nothing but dream of getting a FA in .44... Travis and his great wife (she has to be great to put up with him) are just wonderful folks...and their little one is one Ms. Smiley... Cloudy wet day today..P-Dogs may not be out.... Bob If you can not deal with reality, reality will deal with you....

I just started to dabble in the world of handguns (other than a .22 MK II) when I bought a SR1911 .45 acp so these shots you guys are taking (and HITTING) are amazing to me!

Made hits difficult. Still cool to watch. Travis Originally Posted by Geno67 Trump being classless,tasteless and clueless as usual.
