Been focusing on taking out coyote, so Mus hunting took a backseat. Since it's been getting warmer I decided to take the Mus rig for a spin. It didn't disappoint. Not the best image, but it was very humid. SJC

This is what happens when you have a bum hand, forgot to take the tripod because you only have one hand to grab the rifle, fall over a fence in your attempt to get a freehand shot at a dog that's been eluding you for months, forget you have a bum hand and can't take a second shot because you can't feel your fingers after cycling the action with your bum hand. To add insult to injury, there were two dogs in the field and my buddy was trying to let me know one dog was sitting 50 yards to my right side the whole time I was trying to sneak into range to get a shot and I didn't see it because I turned my comm's off.

Been awhile since we've seen a dog at this farm. Warm weather has them traveling around. My buddy dropped a single dog of the three I called in from over 600 yards away. Big male at 148 yards with his enhanced Savage Impulse Predator 22-250/Nocpix Ace H50R. SJC

The second day of the season I would always put a mannequin dressed in orange or camo in one of the new guy tree stands before afternoon stand. You would hear them yelling at the mannequin before getting on the radio asking what to do. One time I dropped off one of the new hunters at an occupied stand and as I was leaving he stopped me and said there's someone in the stand. I told him to stand behind a tree with the radio in case it gets violent. So I yelled at the "Hunter" to get the F out of the stand or I'm going to shoot you out of it and unloaded my handgun with blanks at the stand. He almost crapped his pants. I took him to another stand where he shot his first buck, a nice 8 point. I miss those day's. SJC

Well the wind was so bad last night (You can hear it in the video) that we didn't go coyote hunting, so I decide to finally do some mus hunting around the abode with the Rix Storm S2 scope I purchased last year for the PCP rifle. The S2 is the cheapest bare minimum 256 res scope with a 3.5x base mag to get a shot at a tiny mus at 20 yards, especially with the PIP feature. While 256 resolution isn't the greatest, it's more than enough for my short range needs and now I have a dedicated thermal rig for mus hunting. SJC

I like it, but as others have mentioned it's not ideal if your not strong enough to use it. My father had a press, but it was for loading 41 magnum and 38 spcl. I started loading rifle using a Lee Loader kit. Lee Loader All you need is a mallet to use it. I paid nine dollars for my 30-06 kit in 1980 after buying my first 06 deer rifle. I progressed to a bench mounted press after getting into woodchuck hunting and target shooting, but the 45 year old Lee loader kit sit's on the shelf ready to load. Paid eleven dollars for the 12ga loader kit thats sitting next to the 06 kit. SJC

It also stands for Big Motherf'ing Gun. SJC

Nice Job. They don't last long when you feed them lead. SJC

Got a few hours to hunt before the storm hits. Lone female at 208 yards. Came in from over four hundred yards away howling like a male. .243 ended the noise. SJC

Dogs have been scarce since taking out the Alpha's, so it was great to see the Beta dogs coming in, but not so great missing. It happens. A friends NocPix S50R scope. Great thermal scope but you still need to put the crosshairs on them to hit them. SJC

Primary scope crapped the bed again, so I got some time behind the back up RIX L3 scope. Got this video of a fox that came in on a string, but lucky for it that it wasn't on the menu. Stopped it with a mouth squeak. SJC

Dropped this lone male after sneaking into a stand downwind of it. .20 cal 41 gr Tipped Hammer Hunter's did the job. SJC

My Buddy and I got a few productive hours in before the rain came down. Lone injured male I called in after hearing it barking during set up of our first stand of the night. 143 yards. SJC

This one thought it could sneak away into the woods after coming to within 20 yards from my six. Female. SJC

Dropped this one Friday Pm after a friend called up and asked me to pay a visit to address a coyote issue. Luckily it gets dark early so I could get some sleep before hunting deer the next day. Big male that was looking to fight. Don't come to a gunfight without a gun. SJC
