The Caldwell is a good unit. We have a few and work well.

I’ve shot 10 coyotes with the WSM the last 3 years. One has required a follow up shot, the other 9 have been stoned. I can’t speak to the HMR, as I haven’t used that. I’ve been careful to keep my shots to ~100 yards and in, and it’s worked well. The one I had to shoot twice was due to a less...

17 WSM

I don’t usually start calling this early…..but with my buck tag filled and the farmer complaining about the coyotes harassing his dogs, I made the decision to stop by and do a quick stand at last light on the way home. Setting up along the top of a berm along a drainage ditch, I set the call...

The last time my son came calling with me it was -45 and I was worried he’d never want to go again. Out of no where he asked to go on Saturday, so we headed out to a spot close to home. I’ve called this spot in the past and always get responses, but they can be tough to get coyotes to break...

I’ve never shot a coyote with it before. All 3 were dead in their tracks, no spinning or anything. All were well shot, facing straight on through the front of the chest just above Center. I’m sure it’s not an ideal gun, so usually I use my 6 Creed, but it’s nice to have a capable solution for...

It’s what Savage calls their rifles in .17 WMR. It’s a rimfire round based off a larger case.

These were shot with a .17 Savage BMag. It’s a rimfire only zone. It did well, dropped all 3 where they stood.

This is the farm I deer hunt as well. It’s fall rye and the other day we counted 50+ deer in 40 acres. Coyote hunting got me access, so it’s a great spot all year! Keeps the farmer happy and the deer safe.

It’s been snowing and windy for the past couple weeks so I haven’t been out. Most backroads are blown in, so I don’t have many stands I can even get to. Checking the forecast, this morning was supposed to be -40 with the windchill, and relatively calm with a 5mph wind from the south. Perfect to...

You can run 115s out of a 1-8 with no issues at the speeds you’ll be pushing.

I shot a doe at 400 this year with 108s details on this thread: https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/no-man's-land-108-berger.285176/

I have often seen posts, especially in archery forums, blaming a “no man’s land” above the lungs and below the spine for lost deer. This past week hunting i shot a doe, and upon recovering it can now see how there’s a very real chance that a hit in the right spot can still cause trouble. I hit...

It’s a 6 Creedmoor
