  1. For what i paid for it i couldnt touch anything with better glass. Honestly its sole purpose is just for me to be able to say yep its got a rack. Not going to be overly picky on this hunt.
  2. Got my Phelps Renegade bugle tube in today along with two diaphragms. Was sounding ok before the wife got really pi$$ed at me lol.
  3. Went to the Harrisburg outdoor show specifically to check out Kuiu. 15% off show special, ended up ordering a pro 6000 pack and a pair of pro pants and a midlayer top. When i got home i ordered a Phelps renegade bugle, and 2 diaphragms. Cant wait to freak the local deer heard out while i walk around the woods attempting to bugle lol. Will post some picks when it all gets here. O, also picked up a barely used Hawke endevor hd 15-45×60 spotting scope off Rokslide, its sitting on a Zomei carbon fiber tripod i got used off ebay. Pretty good glass for the money, searching for a good pair of 8x42 or 10x42 binos next.
  4. I checked kbb on my truck this week just for the heck of it. Its worth $3k more than it stickerd at. Its only 6 months old but goin up in value lol
  5. Not a great selection but was able to get some stuff he will out grow in a year or 2 cheap.
  6. Pretty good discounts on their camo. Picked up a insulated "waterproof" jacket for my son for $15, and a hoody for $5. This was at the batavia walmart.
  7. Will head down to Marathon key in july, will spend a couple days in St. Pete with my brothers family as they just moved down there in December.
  8. Probably 15-ish inches here, plowed the driveway then went back to our sledding hill. Had to take the truck back. Probably 600 yards from the road, 4lo front and rear locked, nice steady pace all the way back.
  9. $550obo come on people someone needs this. Did i mention its Bluetooth compatible! U got your summer time outdoor boombox baby!!!
  10. I have been training my belgain malinois on and off the last couple years. I like to use a chunk of deer liver stuck on the end of a stick. Rub it on the ground every few steps. Start out doing maybe 75 yards with some curves and work your way up to longer distances with 90 degree bends, bigger gaps between points of scent, and let it sit longer before you bring the dog out. Leave the chunk at the end of the track so the dog gets a reward. This can also be done with deer blood you collect from a kill.
  11. Won this call this past weekend at a tournament. Just opened the box to take pics. It is a factory refurbished Foxpro X wave. New the call sells for between $700-$750. Looking for $600 prefer local pickup, im in genesee county. Could ship on buyers dime.
  12. Yea saturday was a huge disappointment. My buddy i was hunting with is contemplating a thermal scope now lol. He was also saying he couldnt see the yotes because he is shorter than me...i asked how tall he is, 5'10"...im 5'11" lol.
  13. Your good, @land 1the above photo is in fact real however i do believe when i researched it, its from another state actually. Also the DEC does not keep track of coyote weights, i emailed the DEC on that one, no records.
  14. Thinking 600 on the xwave. Its going to fund gear for my elk hunt. Let me know.
  15. Ive shot 1 this year that topped 50lbs, my son shot one that was 49lbs. Surprisingly both out of our field behind our house. 50lbers are not that uncommon, i havent seen any 60lbers killed personally. This tourney had 110 teams this year and i was shocked a 43lber won. I lost 2 years ago with a 48lber.
  16. Oooof, yesterday was a brutal day of hunting. Saw absolutely nothing all night. Only had 1 spot were i got yotes to respond and they were far away so we moved to a closer field but nothing. Wind was wipping and eventually rain was just freezing to us and all our gear. The weigh in was today and always a good time. Missed out on heaviest yote by 8oz. Mine was 43.18 lb. The raffles paid off and i won a in the box Factory refurbished FoxPro Xwave, which once i figure out a price will be for sale if anyone is interested.
  17. Some screen shots from the video i took of the shots. Just before death...
  18. Big tournament this weekend, wny predator slam. Went out last night from 630pm and got home at 5am. Started behind the house here, called a fox in but offered no shot close. He ended up goin away from us and at about 305-310 yards he stopped and i sent one. Feel i just missed under him. O btw i set up my thermal scope on my Tikka t3x tac a1 in 6.5 creedmoor. I dont want any runners this weekend. 2nd stop up towards medina, got 2 yotes to come to the edge of a woodlot at probably 350 yards but wouldnt step out for us. Next 2 stops nothing, then headed into clarence at my buddies parents house. Only rule, no fox. At the 7 min mark a fox came in and sat behind the call 60 yards from us...from there we went to a very productive field in akron. It did not disappoint. About 15 mins in i got two yotes to come out from a woodlot about 650 yards out. One made its way in to about 125 yards while the other stayed back from were they popped out. I wanted my buddy to shoot but he couldn't find it in his NV scope. So i dropped that one with a slight quartering too shot to the chest. They other yote never flinched. I put on a distress call and it slowly worked its way in. It was staying further out, again my buddy couldn't find it in his scope. It stopped and i put one through its chest at 293 yards. In the pick its the one with its heart laying outside its body. My first time doubling up! Two nice males too. Thank goodness for the snow it made dragging 2 yotes bearable. Next set i got a group sounding off but the wind was bad from where they were calling from so we moved. Got a different group talking there but no one wanted to show up. Last set was silence. Tonight we head down to Bliss, Chaffee and all the way to Arkwright. Should be a fun night, weather looks good.
