Now I have a new image in my head of Dave............my Marigold Guy!!!
Well guys not much for actual hunting adventures but a couple of drive byes.....Saturday, doing a check of the BP and driving along and there is a fox out on a pivot, eating something, so I did a range on it, 327 yards, got out cranked the scope up to 20 power, got settled in and put the 300 yard hash mark on it, Ka-Pow, DRT...walked out and looked at it the next morning....I got anywhere from 6-9 fox in that one shot, she was nursing. That saved me a problem, trying to shoot all those yearlings this fall......39 grain SBK. Keep in mind that is the 11th fox in a 3 section area since last fall......they are hell on pheasants.
This morning did my usual drive bye and was just about on my way to work when I saw a coyote 1/2 a mile away to the north.....drove right up the road slow and it started trotting away to the east, guesstimated the range to be 300 yards, no time to range it. Got out and settled in, barking wouldn't stop it, so it was going straight away put the crosshairs on it and shot, a little low and to the right....coyote took off but not running hard, I started barking at it more, pretty soon that dog stopped, put the 400 yard hash mark on it and Ka-Pow..............DRT, I could see fur fly on the off side so I knew the bullet exited...........no idea actual range. GOD smiles on fools and misfits, so I got a blessing on that coyote!!
51st coyote in 12 months, and either 13 or 14 fox total, not sure....That 204 CZ with the 6-24 power Vortex Tactical is a nice combo and I love the Bell & Carlson stock.....it is a fun gun to shoot and accurate as heck!!!
