[QUOTE="midnightmalloy, post: 442038, member: 25605"] thanks everyone for the input and a little about my dad: he turns 60 this week and because he has been reluctant to go afield after some injuries and the equipment he has i would like to change that. He has been a NRA rifle, pistol and shotgun instructor for 28 years and has "formally" taught me to shoot everything we could get our hands on. For 15 yrs every tuesday night he would be at our local range teaching kids 50' indoor smallbore 4 position rifle shooting. He would like to do some coyote and med game but his aresenal is not good for his current state. He works at an oil refinery, has 6 kids (im the last), 14 grand kids and a dog. He liked to hunt mule deer in the canyons of califorina 30 years ago and then in eastern wa. he also likes to upland bird hunt and now he is interested in coyote hunting also. what im trying to do is not change his likes but kind of "remold" them. He can hunt upland birds and just be the blocker or walk the easy stuff. no prob. I want to get him into coyote hunting and that is as physical as you would like to make it. when it comes to deer we can go to north east wa or north idaho and hunt whitetails and the country isnt as rough as the snake river breaks. so im starting with the rifle. from the hard kicking abolt in 30-06 to something better. I say 500yds so that he can also enjoy this new endevour of LR shooting/hunting with me. Let him use my 223 for coyote and then we are going to work on getting him a lighter kicking and lighter weight shotgun. He started getting in better shape this year so i have been talking to him about going hunting and he wants to but doesnt want the expense or hauling the gear. thats were i come in. im 28 and in good shape so as he puts it "your either the mule or the bird dog boy, get to it!" then he laughs and all. so i will haul the gear and i will push the birds.
