Like us, predators want to stay dry and have every condition in their favor, unless their starving. I've never had good luck hunting in crappy weather, but have had great success after the crappy weather had passed and calmed down. Coyote are very wind conscience and don't like it when they can't get downwind of their prey.

Head, neck, body, doesn't matter, as long as it gets a splotch in one of those places.

Except there's no red splotch on the backside of it's head !

Good for you. Is it a beef, dairy or produce farm ? Either way, be very careful about knowing where livestock, homes and garlic sprouts are and plan your free fire zones accordingly. Have fun.

I postponed my bow hunting because of a reoccurring elbow injury, and it also interrupted my grouse hunting, so I bird hunt in the day and coyote hunt at night. I also get to scout for deer and coyote while walking around with my old bird dog. My brother was scared to let his dog out last night because a couple of coyote packs were lurking around, making a hell of a ruckus. He held the phone out for me to hear and they were really close. The neighbor said he saw one in the hay field across the road yesterday Am and it's body was above the grass, which is up to his knees, so he thinks it's a coy dog. I'm going to give them a wake up call Thursday night.

Your moniker fit's, as you have to be in left field to think Trump is destroying his chances of reelection, he's only destroying Kamala's chances of becoming the first female president and Biden becoming a billionaire.

Joe vs Joe, have fun.

Went to the range yesterday afternoon and confirmed my thermal's are all sighted in and ready to go. All thermal and NV spotters too, plus checked my E caller and even practiced with the reed calls on the way back down from the range. Batteries charged, magazines loaded and I'm even gonna load some extra rounds during the week. Going to get my hunting license today and do some interweb searching for a foxpro fusion caller, as I'm in need of a caller upgrade and I like the bigger screen of the TX1000 controller better than the TX9 wildfire controller. With the fusion, you can program call sequences and focus on looking for prey, not worrying about the caller. Looking to take Friday off from work and head upstate Thursday PM and get down to business right away. Remember that the season starts after sunrise on the 1st, not midnight. Good luck. SJC

The only thing historic about Biden, is that he's done absolutely nothing after 47 years of being in politics. Actually that's not true, he did do something, he got filthy rich selling US jobs to China and Ukraine. Kamal's father is Jamaican and her mother is from India/South Asia, so maybe she's blackish, like Elizabeth Warren was Native Americanish ? Most of the Jamaicans I know are proud of their Caribbean heritage and take offense at being called African American. Like Ol' Joe, I choose truth over facts.

Sometimes I read your replies and after laughing for a couple of seconds, I realize that your proof positive that Trump was right in upping the budget for mental health care in this country. Chef, What's so scary, is that Kamala was the bottom of the barrel out of all of the female Dem Candidates running for President, yet she could be #2 if Biden's elected. It's only because of her "color" that she was picked, as there were plenty of other female candidates that got many more votes and backing from the Dems than her. What's so scary, is that your ilk is so focused on hating Trump, that you don't see the fox taking the chickens that have come home to roost !

While you think your being smart, your rebuttals are getting to be the same old crap spewed out of every liberal parrot. While I usually find your posts very boring and childish, I sometimes do have a good laugh after reading some of them before going to work. Thank you for that.

She also doesn't believe he's going to last a week in office , if he somehow gets elected as president. After Trump appoints another supreme court justice and VP Pence and him are re-elected, are you going to get the message loud and clear that Americans don't want socialism here ? Unlike the democrat lemmings, Republicans tend to think for themselves and don't follow their "leaders" off the cliff. Hopefully you'll get woke before it's to late for you.

The typical smart ass liberal response when their faced with the truth. The truth to a liberal, is like a cross being held in front of Dracula. Now I expect another topic change because your points on the last 5 topic changes have been milked dry years ago, yet you are blind to that. Maybe we can get back to Trump being a Russian spy, the Mueller report was fake and they were almost right there in finding the proof they needed to prove it, but they needed another $100 million tax payer dollars to keep the liberal slush funds full, So Nancy can have her Ice cream and eat it too ? The Covid blame game is going nowhere and even the libs in the city are up to their necks with the idiots Cuomo and Wilhelm Deblasio screwing up their lives because of their liberal ego's getting in the way of rational thinking. Mitt Romney is a typical wind sock politician and you have a better chance at picking the winning lottery numbers, than knowing how he's going to vote.

Phantom is really Kamala Harris. Biden doesn't have a snowballs chance, but the media still promotes him, as they feel it's nice to give the demented a reason to live. Even if they prop up Ol' Joe and pump him full of drugs , the Dem powers that be know he won't last the whole debate on the 29th, and because of that, I'm sure there's going to be some kind of last minute "Emergency" to keep JB from attending the debate. I really find it disgusting that the Dems have no issue with putting him on the world stage in his condition. They had plenty of other viable candidates to choose from.

17 days till the opener, so maybe you should take a couple of shots at night to make sure everything is working correctly ?

Chef, Glad your OK and it's good to know that your safety harness works when needed. I've never used or seen a hawk stand, but they look nice and reviewers seem to like them. G-Man- Ladder stands aren't meant to be left out in the weather all year long for years on end, without proper maintenance or protective measures. With proper maintenance and/or protective measures, a ladder stand should last a lifetime and many of mine are over 20 years old now.

I think my old 4x photon scope would melt if I used it with the cannon ! It looks like you've got your rig all set up and ready to rock. Any actual night shooting done with it yet ? I'm also waiting for Oct to roll around and haven't had any nusience calls to take care of lately, so I spend my nights roaming around the neighborhood on my mountain bike with NVG's scaring the crap out of deer.

Digex sight in Here you go. Make sure you use a fully charged battery when sighting it in. Let us know how you like the scope. SJC

Congrats on the new scope. Teamed up with the .204, you should do well this year. Get some extra batteries or an external power pak, as the batteries don't last as long as pulsar says they do and it would suck to have it die before you get to make something else die. SJC

I used to sit for hours shooting chucks all weekend after cutting the hay at my relatives farm. Now I sit for hours in a lazy boy, after taking some aspirin and nursing a cold beer or two. .22 hornet was my caliber of choice, then I moved up to a heavy barreled 6mm rem 40XC to make the longer shots. Now I just carry my 44 mag revolver and let one or two shot's fly, if I see one running around. They have a better chance of getting hit by lightning, than getting hit by one of my shots, but it breaks the monotony of sitting on the tractor for hours. Keep slinging lead boy's, as someone has to show them who's boss. SJC

I'm sending my prayers to you and your family Grampy, as your brother Mark is in the lords care now, but you need prayers to help you carry on. RIP Mark.

I'd respect you more if you'd just come out of the closet chef. While I find some of your reply's amusing, others I find lean more to the left than some of my unstable liberal friends and neighbors. Free speech includes quoting others and if you can't accept that, that's a form of racism + bigotry from your end. It's also the classic liberal response to the questioning of their views. I get it that you don't like Trump, but your vitriol should be directed towards your Democratic party, after they selected Joe Biden as your Presidential candidate. Not that any of the other Democratic candidates were any better, but that move makes anything that Trump does look minuscule and is almost 100% guaranteeing his Reelection. Maybe your just unhappy that Hillary didn't run for president again ? SJC

Trump is going to trounce Biden into the ground, So why bring up this BS "What if" scenario again and again ? What If aliens land here in November and take over the planet before the election, will trump refuse to leave office ? That 'What if" has more of a chance of happening than Biden winning. The leftists are the only ones that contest election's when they lose and have actually changed laws to give them more terms in office. You claim to be a republican , yet spew out liberal talking points and change the topic when challenged, like a seasoned liberal. Is your last name Bloomberg ? Calls himself a republican, yet bleeds blue ?

Not the whole US, Just the liberal run cities and states, but why nit pic. Health care ? America could be burning worse than it is now and there would be a line at the airport of people trying to get in for a doctors visit. 3/4 of the people coming in from Canada, are coming for health care, because their health care system sucks. The black market pharma up there is booming, as it sucks waiting months to get a free prescription. Do you ever hear of anyone saying, I need to have heart surgery, lets call a doctor in Zimbabwe ? Thank your liberal leaders for the spread of covid, as Cuomo and Wilhelmina Diblasio have blood on their hands because of their political blindness. Don't just look at the stats, learn from the stats and see that people will take the chance of dying to come into the land of the free and home of the brave. SJC
