Ninja scale?


Travis

Fisherman too no doubt......

That's a hodgepodge rifle... a 700 sporter in .243 bedded in an old BDL-V stock... 3-9x40 Trijicon atop. Scope was free... stock was old and has been hacked on a bit for various projects. The factory SPS stock was junk, so this one came to the rescue. Load was 70 NBT fueled by RE17 for 3600ish... as you can see in the pic, no exit. Shot was right at 300... though because of the size of the dog, I thought it was about 200... thank heavens for flat shooting rounds at coyotes.

Here's another big coyote, this one weighed 39lbs... he was taller than any dog I've ever seen...


Nice 57" Thanksgiving pelt for my main fishin' buddy Stevie...

here's one on the other end of the scale.....grin

Nicely done Troy! I carried a scale in my yote bag for years and yeah it's sort of like using a LRF and or actually putting a tape to a critter (not the rubber kind...grin)

Isn't that the lil Taco Bell dog...............

Dober

He ain't been on TV lately, has he?......

Nopers.......grin

Dober

Yeah, but Ive met you, you're only four feet tall....


Swift Fox is cool

here's one I snared in wyo, back in the day. Wish I had something in the pic for scale. cCaught him on a steep trail by his nose. Musta been haulin'ass, 'cause it broke his neck and he never even quivered....I truly think this'un would have broke 50 lbs. He was the densest, most compact, big boy I'd ever got. Major Boddiker said it was the biggest one he'd seen. And he's seed more than a few..... He also paid me $150 for him, in the round.....

I called in and killed one in Idaho in about 2002 that weighed 47 pounds. It was substantially bigger than any other mature coyote I had, or have since killed.

He was no match for the mighty .17 Remington though...

I do look forward to calling every year...It's how I got my handle.

who'da thunk......grin

Looks like the coyotes in Colorado eat well. Man, those are some nice big coyotes.

Huntsman22 love that pic of the little guy. Kit fox I presume?

Mark, I've thought about getting a digital fish scale and throwing it in my pack just to satisfy curiosity now and then. Haven't done it yet though. One of the problems is that I've found most of those fish scales are inconsistant. If anyone knows of a really good realiable compact digital scale I'd like to hear about it.

I was about to purchase one at Scheels a couple weeks back for my gambrel. Then I remembered I'm a lazy ass and I'll never use it.

Travis, that cracked me up.

prairie swift fox. Cool little canines about the size of a housecat. the state thinks they are the same as kits. they really ain't.....

here's another I found last fall. A pair of coyotes played tug-o-war......





the 2 halves were about 50 yds apart........

We have darn few red fox around here because a few too many coyotes have played tug of war with them.

That is a big'ol barrel chested coyote Troy...I wish you wouldn't have hogged all the snow, we only got a light dusting..
