[QUOTE="dbs1, post: 1291811, member: 91085"] Great story Allen! I see lots of similarities in my experiences. A buddy got me into dog calling in 88 and we've been enjoying it ever since. Guys think I'm nuts as well when on an elk or deer hunt and I'll take the chance of missing a trophy so I can shoot a coyote. I also started with the mini14 and still have that gun, though it isn't used much anymore. I have some kids argue over who is entitled to it. Mine (for a mini) was fairly accurate, hitting with some regularity pd's out to 250 yards. When a client I built a house for gave me a new browning Abolt heavy barrel 22.250 topped with a Leupold 6.5x20 and I found my range doubled I was estatic. And that's where my long range love affair started. (Medium range these days) I hunted for 5 years in Colorado beginning in 1980 and killed some ok bucks and bulls. Lordy if I knew then what I know now, I'd have a wall full of 180+ bucks and 340 bulls, though after getting into the long range thing I did kill a 407 bull and a 202 buck in Utah within a few days of each other 12 years ago. After that experience, I've concentrated on Coues deer and even that has taken a drop in priority, with me forgetting to even put in for the draw this year. If I can whack some pd's in the spring, catch some bass in the summer and kill coyotes in the fall and winter...well I'm pretty happy. Getting where I don't even miss my corvette road racing much anymore and probably selling that. Our priorities change as we get older...hang out with grandkids and do the aforementioned things and I'm pretty happy. Enjoyed your story a LOT! [/QUOTE]
