I like Jack 'O too. Can't hardly hunt varmints with a 44 mag......well I suppose ya could!

Man, if I lived up there and had a wolf tag my wife wouldn't see me for days at a time! I hope you get to fill that tag!

I asked this question on another thread and it probably would have been more suitable to this thread. This line of questioning has probably been hammered to death but it's new to me and I am rather new to this forum so thought I'd ask. I have a new Winchester model 70 Coyote Light in 243. I...

He's gotta come out of that park sometime and when he does someone needs to be laying in the weeds like a snake in the grass. Boom.........Whop! Does anyone else get a rush from that sound or is it just this old codger.Ha! Thanks for the photo!

The Winchester 70 Coyote Light did not like the 58 grain pills at all. It was a calm day and 3 inch groups at 200 yards was it. My heart sank a bit. However i found a box of 100 grain boat tail soft points so I loaded up some of them. My initial outing with the 100 grainers gave me a 200 yard 5...

Back when I was a kid in Iowa there was no such thing as a coyote in these parts. Along about 1970 we started seeing them more often when pheasant hunting. By 1980 their numbers had exploded. In 1982 we killed 138 coyotes and never got more than 10 miles from Grinnell, Iowa. Now for the most...

I have killed my last 4 coyotes by just sitting on travel corridors early in the morning and late in the afternoon. I had one hanging up in the brush at 400 yards so I waited until last light and did a rabbit in distress call and he headed through the timber in the opposite direction like his...

I have been in on nearly 500 coyote kills but have never killed a wolf. I must put that on my list of things to do. That is a beautiful rug...I'd love to kill one and have that done. I didn't realize that their numbers were up like they are either. All the more reason to pay the piper and head...

I had to deliver a load of wood down the road to the west a short piece this morning. As I went by Brownells on I80 I couldn't help but notice that the parking lot was clear full. That meant that somebody with a thick wallet might be fondling the Winchester with a notion of making it a safe...

I am still shooting 58 grain VMax bullets at about 3800 fps. I am zeroed about an inch and a half high at 100 and that zero will swing a softball that I have tied to a rope out to 300 by shooting right at it. I loaded about 500 of these 3 three years ago so I probably won't run out anytime soon...

Here in Iowa everything is divided up into mile sections of land with a road on every side. It used to be that after a snowfall I would drive around right at day light and find a fresh set of tracks. then I would circle that section looking fro tracks coming out. If there were none coming out...

I just bought a set at Bass Pro but they are jet black. I was going to paint them white but haven't yet. Think I'll get another set and paint them tan. The only problem with painting them is that it takes a while for the stink to wear off. I'm pretty sure coyotes would pick right up on that...

I want to take John Whidden coyote hunting with me. He can shoot them stinking smart ones that hang up out there at 600 yards. They laugh at me!

Greg, I love the 338-06 and in the words of a famous Alaskan named "Murphy" ...."The only rifle cartridge ever built on the 30-06 parent cartridge that was actually better than the 30-06 is the 338-06". I dunno you from Adam but I always felt sorry for Adam cuz he only had one one woman to...

Called coyotes all day this past Saturday and had a total of 10 set ups and saw two yotes that offered no shots. Every Tom, Dick and Harry in Iowa now owns a coyote call and most of them are just educating the coyotes until it is almost impossible to get them to answer a call. I am about to...
