Really nice. The video is not all that bad. Been thinking of mounting a camera on my coyote rifle. Makes reliving the hunt more interesting.

If you start with a cage containing five monkeys and inside the cage, hang a banana on a string from the top and then you place a set of stairs under the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray all the other...

First comment I am going to make will get me in trouble with the 300 win mag crowd. Any thing the 300 win mag can do, the 338 win mag will do better. This is because of the bullet weight choices avalible. I have killed every thing from deer to elk with both. Given the choice 338 wins every time...

I used to load IMR 3031 and 4064 exclusively for the 150 - 168 gr range. Notice the I used to part. After purchasing a chronograph, I started to notice a wide variance in velocity for all the IMR powders in the different calibers. Usually only after the temp dropped below 20F. The powder I now...

53 is a lot tougher hunt than it looks. Not excercise wise, but in time invested. The short range requirements, along with the openness of the country make for some difficult stalking. Road hunters don't make things any easier. But then road hunters have very little sucsess in this unit. But...

Shot by the son-in-law. HR Ultra Slug Hunter, Horandy SST slugs, range 100 yds. This gun consitantly holds the SST's at around 1 1/2 group off a Caldwell Dead Shot rest.

Forgot to give the update on this. Changed the battery and it has made a world of difference. Appriciate the advice.

I have a 204 in the Howa Ranch. It is one sweet handling rifle. I have never had a problem laying a dog down with it. Farthest shot has been around 350. While the 243 is my main winter coyote rifle, the 204 is the one that goes in the summer (ground squirel, rockchuck and occasional coyote).

243 is my go to rifle for most coyote calling. Do use the 204 and 223 on occasion. Did the 22-250, 220 swift over the years and finally settled on the 243. Will be replacing my main 243 this year with either the Howa Ranch or Axiom. Really like the feel of the Axiom. But the 204 I have in the...

I doubt the Feds or Fish and Game have any idea how many wolves we have now. I do a lot of coyote hunting, so I am getting reports of them all the time. We all need to make the effort to kill two a year. Right now I would rather shoot a wolf than a Elk or deer. Fish and Game says the deer and...

Stepped directly on a coiled rattlesnake once. We were packing in fencing material into a snake infested canyon. I was leading a horse down the trail. Snake was coiled in the shade of a rock. Seen the snake about the same time he saw me. I paused with my foot in the air right over the snake...

We are getting a pretty good collection of wolves if all the sightings are correct. 2 possibly 3 packs running Sublett and Yale road, 1 pack seen ahead of the fires by Oakley, 1 pack working north and south of the tracks at Minidoka (I seen this pack last fall, but could not get a shot. Last...

Took the daughters boyfriend out hunting Saturday (yes, I also brought him back). Five stands no luck, don't know if he don't know how to hold still or there just were not any around. Course the wind was blowing about 12 mph ave. the whole time. Stopped at the coffee shop this morning and found...

Well it was a toss up between recreational and hunting. My favorite hobby, recreation and hunting is the coyote. Every trip is a combination of some sort of rifle, pistol practice. I spend enough time at the bench to zero and load check. Then I move on to regular hunting type practice. Aka...

On of those situations where my shooting pardner's only comment on watching the shot was "your kidding me right, how did you hit that?" He had just taken a poke at it with a 223 minutes earlier and missed.
