good job on dead 'yote

shoot one for all of us........

You did a good job on that, James.

I probably would have just burned a hole in that thin metal with my welder...

Years ago I had one of those San Angelo brand trunk mounts and installed it as an overhead rack in my pickup. Now the ceilings of pickups are cluttered, and not flat like they used to be.

Yeah.....but will it blend????

After I got married, I worked in a factory as a mig welder for 12 years. Worked there on the evening shift and farmed during the day. Damn near killed me, but I did learn how to weld, at least with a mig welder.

Nice fabrication job. 👍

How long was that dog down before the flies covered it up? We have flies but I don’t deal with them that thick, not to mention the moth that decided to join the scavenger show. I bet that the ticks are fierce too......👎

Good ingenuity, get a patent on it ASAP.

I'm probably gonna borrow your brace idea you pictured and incorporate that into my tractor mount. I have it secured on top with a HD rubber bungee strap now. Your idea looks much better.

Nice set-up, and pretty sweet.....a coyote with a 22 RF! memtb

I love those take-down 10-22s!

That was a Walmart clearance one at $169. Normally, I would scope it, as my old eyes don't care for open sights. But, I'm beginning to like it as it is. I've killed a few squirrels, turtles, and some birds with it, in addition to the coyote. It is like every other 10-22 I've had.........very accurate and will shoot anything. I shot that coyote with some LR solids that I was I was wanting to shoot up. It came with a very nice carrying case, and I thought I'd leave it in there, put some ammo and a few other survival items in, and keep it for an emergency. But, it shoots to sweet to just forget about it.

Coyote was dead maybe 25-30 minutes. It was in the upper 80's and the flies are thick.

Looking at the coyote, one might consider an additional rack for an "A salt" gun or a fly swatter.

if i saw a rattler that size the only thing that would satisfy me that it was dead would be a napalm strikex2
hate those things.

I cant believe you guys are able to kill coyotes without a 6.5 Creedmore, must have been some mighty lucky shots and some mighty sick coyotes.

Kill all them damn pigs!!!

James actually owns a 6.5 CM so just having one at the house....long as you wear the magic fob bracelet. Any firearm you take hold of will have the same mythical powers.

Yep, I always touch my 6.5CM before I shoot another rifle, as it will give the other rifle some mystical qualities. It will turn a plain old ordinary BB gun into a weapon capable of killing an elephant.

So I'm on my phone scrolling down this thread and get to this picture and the damned thing vibrated! Nearly dropped it!

I just got one this summer at a grocery store going out of the gun business... mine is SS with a couple other nice touches. The price was about 75 bucks higher than your deal, but I'll pay that for SS most any day! I put an old 3x Leupold on it because they cannot be broken, even by a 10-22. And it shoots!
