Very nice, huntsman22. At what distance did you take the porcupine? And what load did you use?

cci segmented subsonic. 4 rounds to make him fall outta the tree, and one in the neck to finish him when he hit the ground. He was about 40 foot up.....

Interesting. Never knew they climbed. Don’t have them around here. We seen plenty of em on our muley hunt out in Montana last year though.

A German friend of mine was on bow hunt in Michigan decades ago. All he got was the "shot and missed a deer"-award from the Fred Bear Sports Club and a porcupine shooting out of a tree. The arrow didn't penetrate completely and he had to retrieve the arrow from the carcass. Even the blood of that critter was stinking he later said.

Great shooting RickyBobby! My kid sent this pic over from the maiden voyage of the Pulsar Trail 2 XP50. He say's the constant ranging in the view finder is legit. Not sure Nanny would approve of using the grandkid as bait tho,

It's been the worst year I've ever experienced for coyote hunting. Until yesterday I'd had no luck whatsoever.

James, is that coloration pretty common in KY? Pretty unusual for around here but looks really nice.

But, I've killed black ones, red ones, and saw one the other day that was as blonde as my wife is. So, they do vary quite a bit, but most of what I've seen are like this one.

Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

Saturday night double. The first one took 4! hits and the 2nd one just kept coming in. One and done for him. We're putting a new Trail 2 XP50 on this AR and I'll be putting the Thermion on a 22 Creed if I can ever get it built. Cool thread, keep 'em coming killers. You must have sounded delicious 😮

I must be on a roll, lucked into another this afternoon. The 22-250 and a 40 grain Nosler BT worked to perfection, as did the FoxPro.
