I really like an AR for a calling rifle. I have a Leupold with an illuminated dot on my RRA Coyote Carbine and turned to 1.5X in the brushy creek bottoms and big timber it's fast to the game. If I'm on the edge of a field 4X works well. It has a good trigger, it's very accurate and fast on follow ups. Never had a malfunction with my rifle. Hunts, is that an M&P?

cheapo DPMS......

Your rifles gas block reminded me of my son's rifle. I asked because my son bought an M&P15 just before Christmas. He put new Magpul furniture on it and a Sig Romeo4 micro dot sight and that thing shoots very well! It needs a better trigger, but dang he can shoot it. He has killed a couple coyotes that we called with it, one a hard charger that he rolled up damn quick. Not always easy to do in a heavily timbered brushy creek bottom. A crow sitting what I estimate at 150 yards, not bad for a zero magnification 2 moa dot.

Nice......must have the pup trained on the camera now too?

Actually, he was locked in the truck....

It's been bad coyote hunting for me this year. The local Mennonite boys hunt and trap them.......with, or without permission......and what they don't kill, they educate. Consequently, farms that I normally relied on in the past for good hunting, are turning up empty. We've had about a foot of snow here in the past week, and temps close to zero, a time when the hunting is normally very good. I've seen lots of tracks, but have had no luck until this morning. This one came in, and a 58 grain VMax out of the 243 ended its career.

Now you need a Swift Fox. And a ringtail cat. And a skunk. And a 'coon. I feel another texas trip is in order...

Ive got them all...except the Swift Fox and I damn near hit one of those with the car in Wyoming a couple days ago...didnt even know they were in Wyoming....

and they're all over eastern montana, I'd bet....

They've been trying to reintroduce them for years...coyotes keep eating them...

Cant say I have seen one.....but the kid in town who traps on my place has caught them.

I rarely see them. But their little cat-like tracks are all over after a snow.....

Ha! Wondered what made those tracks.

Further north in the county there are quite a few I guess. Less farming up there, mostly native grass/gumbo prairie.

The whole reason they came off the endangered specie list, was the sheer numbers of them in Montana. Neat little critters and the smallest canine in NA. I got a couple hanging on the wall....

old pics..





think they make a unique trophy and everyone that sees them has to find out more about them, as most folk never even heard of them..... cute little bastids, too

You are one ugly sumbitch........lol

Maybe you should lace up your boots dipshit!!!
