I have been calling coyotes for close to 40 years. In the 80s I tried a whole bunch of rifles and came to the conclusion that the AR in 223 was the perfect coyote rifle for me. There wasn't the caliber choices then like there are today. If you plan on keeping the fur then I think the 223 is...

I have been using an EberlieStock Blue Widow with the rifle scabbard for the past 5years or so. And I can tell you it is one tough sob... yeah its a little heavy but the extra weight has been worth it! I have had 100 pounds in it a couple of times and nothing has broke (just about killed me)...

Here's a few from this fall and winter. We had a good year and averaged about one and a half coyotes per stand. Been calling a looong time and this was one of the best seasons I can remember.

I have had a Eberlestock Blue Widow for 3 years now and used it alot and carried well over a hundred pounds in it a couple of times, I have had zero problems and its without a doubt the most comfortable pack i have ever had. I would buy one again. Steve

My worst stupid badge dident involve reloading. I was checking waters on one of the ranches i worked on in the late 80s and saw a coyote so i jumped out, and missed. That day i had an old remington 788 in 223 with me (Man that rifle was a shooter) and i usually carried it with a round chambred...

All the Above! I started hand loading with my Dad in the Early 70s then i got my own equpment in the early 80s. Finally a couple of years ago we bought a house with enough property and far enough out of town where i have a permant bench and a 300 yard range right out my reloading room door.gun)...

I have an Eberlestock JP9 Blue Widow and i bought both the large scabbered and regular, I have about a hundred miles on it now and i absolutly love the pack. I can carry any of my rifles comfotably in it or take the scabberds out and use it like a regular back pack. When i was looking for a new...

Is Anybody shooting the Sierra 165 HPBT GK in there .308s? They shoot pretty decent in my rifle out to 700 yds or so. My rifle just dosent seem to like any of the AMax bullets. Steve

I have had really good luck with BLC 2 with 175 SMK in mine... Steve

I just got the JP9 from Eberlestock and i am likeing it a bunch so far. I have 3 other pretty decent packs and the Eberlestock has better materials and workmanship. I have only had 50 pounds in it and only did 3 miles but it is very comfortable. I havent ever tried a Badlands pack and im sure...

I want to build me a new light weight 280 AI this year. I have started gathering up the the parts. I have a savage Action and the scope (Leupold VX3 3.5 X10,) bases, rings,go & nogo gauges. I need to get the barrell ordered in the next couple of weeks i just havent decided where i want to get it
