During the 90s I killed 9 doe antelope over a 2 year period with my 22/250 and a Speer 52gr HP. All under 200 yds. Doe tags were 25 bucks ea with a five tag limit, as I remember. I only had two rifles at that time. a 22/250 and a 338/06. I also was unable to get a buck tag. sooooo...

Hey BFD, you better be nice to me. I am your ride to where you are going to kick ***...... Semper Fi...... Anchors Aweigh. Carl L.

I agree 100% with your post. In my area abandoned dogs will sometimes pack up. Thousands of sheep are wintered in this area. They seem to kill for the fun of it, if such a term exists for the canines. These "homeless" dogs also often do/did not normally have a fear of humans. This can...

LC; Small exit wound behind left shoulder. No hide damage at the entrance wound. Just a bullet hole. I recently developed a 223 load using the 44gr HH. I really like that bullet. It shoots FLAT. 27.8/Benchmark, CCI450, Rem nickel plated cases. Vel: 3576fps (LabRadar) I have not...

P7M13; Now that is funny. Back 60-70 years ago, in my younger years supposedly missing cats wound up in Chinese restaurants. At least that was the "rumor". We called them Alley Antelope. Carl L.

Got out today and made three calling stands. On the 2nd stand shot a male coyote @ approx 110 yards almost face on. Bullet entered chest front and exited just behind the left shoulder. Coyote dropped and never moved. Blaser R8, 204 Ruger Bbl, 22.5", 1/12 twist, 31gr hammer, 28.5/TAC, CCI...

DSheetz; You are correct; Plot, Airdale, and Australian Shepard. I think a lot of calls are fully capable of bringing in predators. I guess it is what you have the most faith in, based on a reasonable amount of experience. Carl L.

DSheetz; Yes LG is from the O'Gorman/Dorn line. LG was Craigs wife "pet dog" and it took a lot of talking from Gary and Craig to get him. Vern D. developed that bloodline from several breeds to obtain the instincts he wanted. Herding was one of the most desirable traits. I do have the...

K22; I think a 11T is a much better choice using monolithic bullets. Supposedly the 31gr Hammer Hunter is about the max wt I can use in a 204R with a 12T. Carl L.

I started working up a load using 31gr Hammer bullets. I have a 204 Ruger. Rifle is a Blaser R8, twist is 1:12". Bbl is 23". My load: 31gr Hammer, 28.5gr/TAC, CCI 450 primers, Winchester cases, Velocity w/Labradar is 3929fps. ES is 28fps. I am NOT seeing any pressure signs in my rifle...

Gotta chuckle venatic. You are right, there should be no survivors. However, coyotes are great at "associating". If you get one of a pair you can put money on the survivor not responding to that same sound. Good friend Gary Strader wrote a book in which he covers the coyotes ability to...

WestSD; I agree with all you have said. However, I prefer the WT punch pad over the scrolling menu style. Just me. I do not hunt at night so a lighted control is of no value to me. Wt's newest calls do NOT incorporate a tweeter. Bill M.(owner) says that model does not need one. Their...

I have never owned/used a FoxPro. It is a very popular caller. I wanted to use sounds that were new to the predators. Plus,, when I got my 1st Wildlife Tech in 2008 it was the only one that used high quality live sounds, that I knew of. That call had a quality high frequency tweeter. They...

I currently have three Wildlife Technologies callers. I have had a LOT of callers starting with the Burnham Bros 45rpm record caller in 1964. They all work quite well, in my opinion. I do prefer calls with tweeters for the higher pitched freqs. They seem to produce more responders. Proof...

Wiley, I just read your comment... Gotta laugh. I also am learning to HATE auto spell correction (or whatever they call it). Of course, if I would really read my posts before posting there probably would not be a spelling problem. I never did like school. Matter of fact high school was the...
