Non-Typical Solutions

Kind of a double jeopardy the thrill of having them come in close or reaching out and smacking one at 200 yards. Multiple dogs at once is just a cluster mess for me, I get too wrapped up in trying to kill them all instead of one at a time, not that I don't enjoy the thrill of it, but always seems to end up with no dogs down. Now shooting one and continuing calling that is pretty sweet and I can handle that scenario. IF I were to go back down home to call again, I would definitely take a shotgun along though. Congrats on a great day of whacking those dogs..............

Good advice, but I can honestly say that I have killed very few dogs after missing the first shot, close or long range I have a pretty crappy record after the missed first shot...........

I have thought alot about the shotgun vs. 22-250 scenario lately and have developed a theory. Maybe somebody here can give their expert opinion. Growing up in southern New Mexico, we did alot of calling in open country, chapparal, mesquite pockets of vegetation with alot of hunting over harvested corn fields and milo maize. We used to have some great coyote chases over open stubble, long shots and great chases. As years have gone by two things have happened. Vegetation growth and people growth. When I go back down to home the mesquite and chapparal have gotten so big and grown thick I can't imagine getting a shot off in some of the places I used to call. Farmers and ranchers used to let us know when they were having coyote problems and liked it that we would come get rid of a couple of dogs now and then, but now due to public pressure I believe a good coyote chase in the open fields is frowned upon. I always thought the best varmint gun was a shotgun 223 over under....what do you think

EXactly what I said ...................

Congrats on a hunt of a life time....if you have Doc Peters in your hip pocket you have a great outdoorsman. Congratulations..........

Why are those dang wives always right!!!! Speedy recovery TJ..........

One of the things I think is cool about these photos is the backdrop of pinion pine and prickly pear cactus............that is just too cool.....congrats you guys.

Anybody got a special load they like for this cartridge. We now have one of them in the family would like to build a good all around load. What grain bullet is the best for this gun? Elk? Deer? Is there a middle of the road weight that works well for both? Powder recommendations? Help me out here if you don't mind.

Careful that sounds a little like guantanamo and you know we can't be treating criminals like that. Is it 8 Seconds where they tie the guy up to the fence and pull his pants down with a young calf on the loose???

Brent, Man you gotta quit showing pics of that country, just makes me daydream that much more. Last year with our hunt, I left hiline at dark thirty on my mule, pulling a mule behind me and bless their hearts, they kept me from getting to lost all the way back to honeymoon. Just a sore rearend and dang proud of the mules. Sorry you didn't get to whack a bull, but looks like to got the most out of your hunt. We gotta meet up down there some time.

So lets hear some Christmas recommendations on trail cams. Is there really such a thing as a trail cam that will send photos to my computer?? I am trail cam illiterate......

The only wolf I have seen was there at Beaverhead Loged on 666 and it had a collar, otherwise it might have ended up on the endangered list. It was alot more lanky and raggedy looking, that looks like a well kept dog to me.

You might be a redneck if: It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, 'One nation, under God.' You might be a redneck if: You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places. You might be a redneck if: You still say ' Christmas' instead of 'Winter Festival.' You might be a redneck if: You bow your head when someone prays. You might be a redneck if: You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem. You might be a redneck if: You treat our armed forces veterans with great respect, and always have. You might be a redneck if: You've never burned an American flag, nor intend to. You might be a redneck if: You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening. You might be a redneck if: You respect your elders and raised your kids to do the same. You might be a redneck if: You'd give your last dollar to a friend. You_might_be_a_redneck_if.doc

My bad, can't get the story to download, which has everything to do with the Law of the Computer or lack thereof. Will try to get it loaded.

Come on JD, you guys been hunting out by PFFJ??? That is a big Duroc boar pig Congrats on the bear and coyote combo..............

Hey dingle, if you find a white 79 ford along the side of the road in 3a 3c and you need a ride it probably is unlocked and the ignition will turn over with a popsicle stick you are welcome to use it. Just remember it is probably on double EE, the spare tire in the back is flat and please put at least $10.00 in the tank before you return it. And Mason.......since we have declared escouting as an OK thing, how about GPS coordinates to that waterhole? Welcome to the site.

I was thinking it looked a little more like this........bull$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ you get the idea$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

they maybe locals from that area in order to know about that trick tank. I'm thinking snowflake, Taylor ,Heber, or Show low. They may be locals or they may not, they might be from the city, they might be from the sticks, they might be dirtbags, they might be corporate shirt and tie guys, they might be hillbillies they might be slickers. Not really about where they are from as much as the act of messing with your camera. And why do "Bow hunters deserve the most respect"? We are all in this battle together whether I am a nature nut who wants to put cameras out just for the fun of it or I am trying to pattern game for a hunt. If it aint yours then just leave it alone. Sorry about the camera problems, if I see the dirtbags driving around town I will ask them about the cameras. I think we learned alot from a previous post on trail cam or maybe we didn't????????? Good luck on your hunt.

I figured you had something like that up your sleeve, but I was waiting for picture of a big old 400+ bull standing in the middle of the road..................I just barely noticed last week for the first time they have that second camera sitting just as you enter from the rim side.....man they are putting those things all over the place. Hope to avoid the zero tolerance cams

As my dad would say(pig farmer) "That is living high on th hog" but I guess in this case the hogs were livin it up. Sorry about the damage, all you gotta do to make those pigs move is stick a finger in the eye or up the nose!!! OK, maybe the dog food was a pretty ingenious idea, nice thinkin......
