looking to learn from a successful predator hunter
PRDATR replied to MT_Sourdough's topic in Predator Hunting and Trapping
I have used these in the past along with using a cover spray. You can also carry an extra hat and rub it on the first dog you shoot and wear it on the next stand. It sounds like you are doing everything right so just keep plugging along until you break the ice. The 22-250 is my personal preference but I don't pelt hunt AND you can always futz around with different bullets and velocities until you find something that works but my old hunting partner Mardy Kemmer shot scores of them with it, albeit most were head shots. http://www.mackspw.com/Item--i-HS102S?src=Y0807GL0N0N10000&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=PLA&gclid=CM_oit7p37sCFZJhfgod-XEADw -
I am going to head up north this weekend with my son to hunt coyotes and use CV as a base. Can Anyone recommend a decent Motel?

Ideally setting it up before hand would be great but lets face it on public land it will probably grow legs.

Nice, I miss hunting those mountains. Where abouts were you? -

Scott, Let me offer up a few basics for you to mull over. 1. Park your vehicle in an area where it can't be seen from where you make your stand. 2. I will walk anywhere from 75-200 yards from where I park. 3. Get something you can sit on that can keep you 12" or so off the ground so your feet don't go to sleep. 4. Put yourself up against a bush to block your outline. 5. Use a cover scent, face mask and gloves. 6. Stand times should be 15 minutes or so but I'll go longer if I feel the area warrants it. 7. If and when a fox or coyot comes in and you shoot it keep on calling for another 10 minutes as there will probably be one. 8. Look for shooting lanes when you set up. Tell me about your rig and your failures. Everyone has to start somewhere. -
You should be able to save some money by getting a kit RCBS equipment is rock solid and what 90% of reloaders started out with. I don't know what comes in the kit but one thing you will want is a set of dial calipers to measure OAL and case length.

Didn't know there was a Casino there.

Thanks. Just looking for some place that is clean and accessible as we probably will not be spending too much time there but after shooting dogs all day it is nice to have a warm shower, hot meal and a cold beer.

They won't miss your business either. how many coors lights have you had so far this evening? I don't keep track but if I had to guess I'd say a few. I'm a Bud Light kinda of guy when I have a few. I know that Outdoorsmans is probably the best place to go to look at optics. They have been around for a long time and I went there about 10 years ago when I was in the market for a pair of Swarovski's but the employees were busy chatting it up with their buddies and I couldn't get waited on so I ended up buying them at another store and off the net. But if your shuttin down early and a customer shows up then open up and make the sale. No Brainer.

That scope alone is over $400, great deal Depends on how old it is. I have one in the matt silver finish with the AO I bought in 93 for probably just over $325.

Well he called and said he was on his way so if whoever answered the phone should have said they were closing early. Pretty simple. We're talking a Mom & Pop shop so when he showed up and they said they were closed how much effort would it have been to open up for him? Shame on them. They'll never get my business.

I think we just don't hear about them as much. I did see one that went 127 on the wall of a resident when I was down there last year.
-
Nice, definitely jealous. Did you get it from Sportsmans?

I wish I would have seen this yesterday as I am off from work and would have been more than happy to tag along and glass since I fill my tag last month.

I always wore them and would buy a few pairs when Mervyns would have them on sale a few times a year. Then they went out of business. After that I couldn't find them anywhere for under $38 a pair and started wearing Wranglers. One thing I found was the Wranglers didn't fade as quickly, the belt loops didn't break and the crotch didn't wear out and get holes. When Wrangler came out with the stretch blue jeans I started wearing them because they are lighter and a lot cooler in the summer and at $22 a pair I can buy four pair at a time and if I tear one up it's no big deal plus I always have five or six pairs around that aren't all ratty looking to wear on the job.

"Hardly" being the key word.. Plenty of folks still take the heart and liver but even with the gutless method you're going to get bloody and have greasy fat on your hands. With the trend to shooting these little deer with monster magnum calibers and plastic tipped boolits you are bound to get bloodshot meat, hence lots of blood clots to be removed. I don't mind using gloves but they always rip and I end up just tossing them aside and going commando. LOL

I don't think they have made them here in 10 years. http://www.ebay.com/gds/Levis-Made-in-the-USA-/10000000002166814/g.html Guess they are still out there. http://www.brooksbrothers.com/Levi's%C2%AE-501-Original-Fit-for-Brooks-Brothers/485R,default,pd.html

I know quite a bit about Ford Diesels but I don't know squat about Dodges.

For the amount of money you are going to spend trying to get rid of that smell you are going to be better off buying a new pair.

Even though that sign has been posted a bunch of times on CWT this year it is still funny.

Awesome. That's a memory she will have and cherish forever. Congrats to her.
