I've heard that Hawk tastes just like Eagle. SJC

Nature has a better handle on things than man ever will. Nature has no time constraints, but mankind does and that leads to overreaction when dealing with nature. I've been hunting coyote all over for decades and in states that have no season for them, their numbers are better kept in check and not because people hate them. Most of the places I get asked to hunt are homesteads that let the problem get out of control or are in areas that don't allow hunting. Coyote are far from stupid and sometimes their too smart for their own good. Those are the ones I like to hunt.

I want coyote to be around, as they have their place in nature and being wile E, are a worthy opponent. NY having a hunting season for them will guarantee their presence in the state and if they overpopulate and start killing the easy picking house pets, I'll keep getting calls to hunt them.

Wolves eat everything, two wolves eat a lot of everything, so keep an eye out.

While function testing, I found that you can use it as a thumbhole for precision shots or as a pistol grip, using the top area as a thumb rest for quicker bolt manipulation. Like the Impulse rifle, the stock is totally ambidextrous. We'll see how it takes a beating this fall. SJC

Wanted to have more flexibility with my primary predator rig, so I bought a pepper color Boyd's At-one thumbhole stock when they decided to inlet them for the Savage Impulse predator. Because of the squarish fore stock contour, it fits perfect in the rifle clamp rests I use. Looks great too, but needed to open the barrel channel up to fit the larger carbon fiber barrel I have. The two factory barrels I have had no barrel channel clearance issues. Took about an hour with some elbow grease and the correct supplied hand tools. Free floated and ready for some range time.

This is the type of pump up sprayer I use. Pump Sprayer Since the sprayers are cheap, I bought two as I treat multiple clothes at one time and using the trigger sprayers got old real quick, unless you really need to strengthen your trigger fingers. SJC

Get the Dramamine ready.

Been doing this for a long time. I use a small pump up sprayer and after letting the clothes sit for an hour, I put the work clothes in the dryer on low heat to fully dry. I let my hunting clothes dry in the sun, as not to contaminate them with whatever scents that might be lurking in the dryer. You would think that the smell would scare animals off, but I've had no issues, even with approaching coyote. I think it's a good cover scent. SJC

If you have a shop close by with a fair amount of scopes, i would visit and see what looks best. With the availability of 30mm or bigger tubes and great glass, you can have more magnification with a wide FOV and better light gathering capabilities than the older 1" tubed scopes. When I compare the LPVO's I have with my old scopes, the difference is stunning, even with the cheaper brands. SJC

And to answer your question, Yes.

I loaded a couple boxes of 35 Rem 200 grain hornady interlok rounds for my brother last week, $8 a box. No tax, driving or waiting in line. He bought the die set, powder, primers and projos years ago and all I do is load him a couple boxes each year so he can get some target practice on woodchucks before the season opens. SJC

I prefer the red reticle, but the green stands out better to me when in black hot. I try not to move it around so much, but you never know when the Mus are going to stop for a shot. I was resting the rifle on top of the barbecue and scanning with the monocular and forgot it was recording. I do change the color to suit the conditions, but for some reason this scope and almost all of the lower end thermals don't have reticle brightness control.

A brief but wild storm blew through the area and I figured the animals would be frolicking about afterwards. This one should've stayed inside.

Bigfoot !

They usually nest in young hardwoods near a marsh and not open fields. Being it's NY, it could be a woodcock that's self identifying as another type of bird !

I totally agree with you, except for the fact that most of the pot stirrers that left were the ones calling for the banning and censoring of other members when their lies were challenged with facts, also breaking several rules and then crying like babies when they were put into time out. You can only have a discussion of opposing viewpoints with adults, so the cry babies started another site and I wish them well. I would also like to see a growing membership, but it is what it is.

Two more down. These mice were always hanging out in no shoot spots, so I decided to use nature against nature and strategically placed some pieces of watermelon in those areas so the raccoons would do what they do best and scare them into shoot zones. It worked like a charm.

Happy Birthday and many more.

That's the $2,500 AGM Adder TS35-384 thermal I use as a backup. My primary scope is the Nvis Halo X50, but it's a longer range scope that sucks for close range work, as you can see in this pic I took of the same spot I dropped the Mus with the Adder. There's a plethora of shorter range thermal scopes available for the hunter looking to get into the sport for under $2K. SJC

The Cat strikes again. This time there's no doubt about it.

Have to do some late job's tonight (5/24), so I decided to stay up late and do some hunting around the house. Spotted this Mus perusing the grapevines between the houses. It started out in a no shoot zone and then after it got tired of torturing me, it wandered behind the neighbors shed. Hunting and trying to shoot Mus with a pellet rifle at night will teach you patience. SJC
