Brass came in. Thanks

The chula that I shot that's on the tailgate is not the male that tore up our dog Peggy. That was a female that I shot while it was raiding the cat food by the trucks( we would feed the cats near the trucks so they'ed keep the pack rats out). The male that fought Peggy was considerably bigger...

I've seen road killed chulas as far North as Prescott. It wouldn't suprise me that they're in the dallas area....hell, you've got alligators in Oklahoma!

In Az the chula is listed as "other fur bearing mammal". You need a general AZ hunting license to shoot any critter in the State. There are no regs. that I know of limiting the shooting of coatis except location(preserves or populated areas, etc.) The San Pedro around SV has some kind of...

I've heard when caught young you can make a pet out of them like racoons and skunks........think I'll stick with dogs and cats...maybe a goldfish.

Haven't tried to eat one. Heard of possum stew but not chula stew. They're not so cute and cuddly when you look at the mouthful of teeth they've got. When they are young you'll see them in packs up to 20 or so all about the size of cats. As they get older they become loners. The Mexicans call...

On the San Pedro River at the ranch we had problems with an abundance of chulas(coatimundes). They are much bigger and worse than racoons. They would go for the chickens and cattle and horse feed. Chulas are really bad around dogs. They enter into a fight willingly and will tear a dog apart. One...

I had in an earlier post shown the results of 45-90 coy-dog shot. As mentioned at the time I also used a 44-40 Uberti 1873 with a 210 gr. soft lead bullet ahead of 36 grs. of swiss BP. Suprisingly this was a consistant killer up to 200 yds. with the barrel ladder sights. There was also one...

Texas

At the ranch house we had fenced fields for the pregnant horses and cattle with clear yardage from the house of up to 600 yds. Lots of interested coyotes. So having used the .222 and .225 for some time I started to have a little deadly fun with a BP 45-90 and BP 44-40. This pict. is the Shilo...

Thanks, Will do.

SEA is Southeast Arizona. Still have part of the ranch and few cows and horses up here but not so active in the business.

I just found this forum while on the search for 375 jdj brass. I've been LR shooting both smokeless and black for many years. We sold most of our ranch recently in SEA and have moved North of Phoenix where my LR shooting habits may change somewhat. On the ranch it was mostly coyote control with...

50 still available? I'm new here; haven't a clue how to PM.
