Heading out for PDs myself on the 24th Ben......pics will accompany later postings


Looks like you boys are making them keep their heads down!

Today I got my 4th coon of 2015.
CCI CB Short between the eyes at 20 feet.

0.45 gr powder
29 gr bullet
710 fps
32 foot pounds at the muzzle
Gotta hit em in the brain with that ammo.

Bought a house in April, been remodeling and moving in etc. I have a prairie dog infestation. Bought a pellet rifle just for this purpose. Caught one unawares this morning

I think badgers are awesome. The nicest one I've killed just got done fighting with a skunk and Gruff would not let me put it in his truck because he's an ass hole.

They are thick around here though and landowners expect them to be shot year around. They're absolute hell on roads.

Serious question: have you ever hunted them at night? I guess they're mostly nocturnal and I am bringing a green kill light next time Im on the Hi-line. Where we shoot there are a number of badgers...

Travis is too busy with beer at night to sacrifice any time looking for anything but a coldpack when it is dark...

And another. Fat little sumbitch. Missed a pup about 8 times, dammit.

Oh...to be young again!

I never have.

I know everybody tells me they are nocturnal but I see them all the time. High noon. Sunset. Early morning. Doesn't seem to matter.

Matter of fact, I can't remember the last time I saw one at night.




Dave

I usually have it located before dark.

nice McWoody.......

My own meager contribution. Haven't been able to get out much.

The stock isn't real pretty and the range is severally limited, but with a little foot work, it works.

Huntsman, I read this post of yours.

"I was his jjhack to do the find him later deal."

Is this is reference to me being an African Professional hunter? Or am I missing something from another topic someplace?

Just Curious.

its a reference to the safariman azz shot bear deal.

If I had to guess i would say it was in reference to safariman and an ass-shot bear. Just a guess.

You beat me to it!
