Now what? Do I scout for two birds or just wing it? Do you typically have to establish access with land owners since its mostly agricultural? Thanks, Fulch

+1 on the 300wsm

Port A is nice, I've been out a couple times, no fishing just to check it out, only been in Corpus 8 months now. Try this, all it is is panels and T posts.

The last ones great.

Where ya at in TX Bab

They are everywhere here in Texas, congrats, that's an awesome kill.

I've had it happen calling coyotes, had a tag and missed the shot. It haunts me still. This was out near Superior.

Classy, I'm jealous.

Ask Coues members for their honey holes coordinates?

Reganranch-how long you been in Texas, we moved from Phoenix 6 months ago. Walking Dead is great stuff, till next season.

Sweet bull and video

Nice work man, congrats. That's quite the exit wound.

Check on www.slickguns.com, deals from all over posted by anyone.

That's funny, you look just a little rattled.

Shoot just read your post with your sons height/weight. He'll always grow into it. Good luck with the search. 110 gr for elk is WAY to light for elk IMHO, large and very tough animals. All my shots have been within 250 yards with 150-180gr (other than black powder 250 gr), all with key vital shot placement.

How bigs your son? I have a 300 Win Mag Remington that packs a punch but I also have a 300WSM Weatherby Vanguard (without a muzzle break, Win Mag has a break) that kicks like an air gun in comparison. I shoot 180gr from both, both knock elk down like a sledge hammer but I could shoot the WSM all day, plus it's light to carry. I'm 5'-6" 155lbs and but pack elk like a mule. I love my Vanguard, wish I have 5 of them. Traded an outboard 9.9 Yamaha for it a few years ago, best trade ever. Premium ammo's pricy and hard to find if you don't reload however.

1 elk with my muzzleloader, he was a toad lol

I had the same question for an AR primarily used for predator hunting. Waiting for the rest of the AR to show up in the mail. I was leaning towards a Vtac.

For eliminating coyote problems trapping will be much more effective than hunting, snares on fence lines for example.

There's a ton of info on here where the basic steps have been covered, the basic steps I've learned through lots of questions, research and experience are as follows, I'm sure others will join in but this should get you going: If your in a truck or quad try and drive into the wind. Stop every mile or so, less if the cover is thick more if wide open. Park behind a bush or in a wash and walk into the wind. Go 100-200 yards, make sure your rig cannot be seen and stand or sit, lots of discussion on this I prefer standing and don't move a muscle. I typically stood if using an electric caller and sat if hand calling literally in a bush. The only thing you can move quickly is your eyes. Stand/sit backed up to cover behind you to break up your silhouette. Wear camo, full camo if you have it, gloves, long sleeves, pants, face net, etc. Call for 15 minutes, if nothing then drive another mile and repeat. Key is the number of sets you make. You'll typically get action 1 or 2 of 5 sets. If you shoot a dog keep calling for 10 minutes more from the shot before retrieving, more are on the way usually. Start out calling quiet and increase volume as you go, be stealthy walking to your set to not jump anything close and bedded. Most dogs will come in between 3-8 minutes, careful, they come out of nowhere and will almost alway circle to come in from down wind. If someone had told me all this it would have saved me a ton of time. Hope this help.

Shoulder mount. Haha

+1. Pure awesome.

Good point, never considered this. I had always though more pellets = better chance at fatal damage. I'll have to give it a 'shot', cheaper also.

+1 on #4 buck, Remington Express 3" mags pattern much much better from my 12 ga than Federal Vital Shock, every shottys different though. I like the Carlson Dead Coyote choke, cost effective and looks sweet.

Excellent, those were the top two on my list due to a couple quick google searches. Gives me a great start.
