Three More, Good Day. Rio7

NICE!

Making a rug?

A merkin?

It’s been 20 years since I killed a coyote. They were pretty few in Alaska and the ones we did have were hunted pretty hard. And with Etta’s health I never felt like I could do any extended fur hunting trips. Especially the last several years.

We came over to Eastern Washington to visit mom after two really rough weeks with Etta’s back. She’s on the mend. And I needed some decompression time. I spent the day calling one of the ranches I used to trap when we still lived here. They were happy to have me chase some dogs.

My second stand this morning seemed just like the first. No action. After 20 minutes I opted to move on. I hadn’t taken five steps and spotted this one standing about 200 yards to my left. My first shot spines him. As I got closer he picked his head up and the second shot at 50 yards was heart/lung and finished the job.

It was also first blood for my 6mmx222. I used a 60 grain Sierra HP over 25 grains of H335 and a Remington 7 1/2. Both exit wounds were right at an inch.

Old Female almost no teeth, but still fat as a tick. Rio7

Ingwe, Shootin Predators keeps me out of the Whore Houses And Bars here on the Border. Rio7

Hi. My name is Ingwe and I'm a whore monger. Do you have a 12 step program I could sign up for?

Picked up five around the house here. Experimenting with new rifles 20P, 22-250AI and pulled out an old timer 6x45. Plus different scopes, killed three with the new Leupold Freedom 1.5-4 PigPlex, I'm really liking it on my lightweight 20P, I made my longest shot the other day, 200+ yards across the stock tank, all the rest have broke cover under 30 yards.

20P across the stock tank.

The other is a 2-12 Athlon it was on the 6x45 but is moving to the 22-250AI

Pretty little coyote, she'll look good in the bedspread for the wife.
