    Hunting at night can get tough when it gets slow cause you can’t see a damn thing unless you are in the scope. It’s also hard for me to stay in one place because it’s so easy to jump up and check another field reeallll quick, then another and another and another!

    I did, and apologized...and now you're making the same error of assumption.

    No need to keep my ears to the ground...when/if it's time for something new, I'll have my ears so tuned I'll hear a grasshopper fart.
    As it is, I have a small, humble collection that, yes, includes a couple ARs...no hate here.

    Took the bergara out to 500 today. The 600-1200 range was blocked off by flooding but the short 6.5 was great. Nx8 tracked as it should and was easily able to spot shots at 500. MOAR reticle worked as advertised too. Very happy with the nx8. Now I just need to remind myself that the stock is fine and there is no need to drop $700 on a manners just because I think they look cool.

    Yep, my buddy with the same problem I have x10 (cattle farmer) tries to wound them so they make it back to the den and die there.

    Sounds terrible but fuck coyotes.
     
  12. If they will eat each other and I can use that to get more than so be it. If I was done hunting for a while I’d bring them to the fertilizer plant as I don’t want to feed the beast but it’s good bait for now. They are GONE, can’t find and haven’t looked too hard where they took them to. I will probably go out tonight before rain hits about 3-4am. Low is 55 so I can hunt in my camo speedo. If I don’t kill em with bullets the shear sight of me in a speedo will :)

    I'll take coyotes over deer, ground hogs, skunks, raccoons, the neighbor's yapper, oh, and bear any day or night.
    They do me a service when they visit...and I like their chorus. :D

    I bought a night vision scope.


    Gonna try it on a Cross bow


    How close did they come in? They were under 40 yards a couple Sundays ago in the afternoon.

    that place is the debil. custom action or go home. not a $4k optic on your 22lr trainer? ghetto.

    I'm eying the MDT Ckye-pod, will check them out next week at SHOT, supposedly they've made some changes.

    The scopes they put on 22's is absolutely ridiculous. It has been a good place to get deals on stuff though. I feel like it's like that South Park episode about the yelpers when I say.." I saw your post on snipers hide about calling in for pricing"

    I'll be in Vegas for world of concrete. sux cause shot show used to be around the same time

    After a lot of testing, I finally found a load for my 7-08 that I feel I can really trust. Last fall, the best I found was shooting Berger 168 VLD Hunting bullets in front of 39.5gr of H4895. An unusual load for that caliber, but it worked pretty well.
    I have done some more testing and found the 140 Berger VLD Hunting with 43gr of N-150 shoots fantastic. 2930fps and great accuracy. Shot this 3 shot group the other night @600 yards. I didn't dial for wind and the shots were spaced a minute or two apart, to keep the barrel cool. Screenshot_20200331-181632.png

    That X ring is 6", so that waterline is under an inch in height.
