Well I’m up now

[Mij]

GD, coyotes in the back yard, dogs going crazy. I heard the mom cows bawling, Still dark, wasted two buck shot shells and two defense 38’s. I’m gonna kill those ********.
Got 4 late calves out there. I’m setting foot holds tomorrow, GD things. I just got to sleep. Going back to bed if I can settle down. I’m thinking a good shot of bourbon.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

[Expat]

Mij, Look on the bright side. You probably don’t have any stray cats from an ahole neighbor that lets them breed like rabbits!

So, you're up now......

If you're up for more than 4 hours, call your doctor.

All right, slept, dozed in the recliner all day after chores. Got coffee thermos 2 pump guns loaded with #4 shot, a whole box of shells. Red lenses on the Nite Lite, bats fully charged. A extra bag of Red Man. Set a dozen foot holds. Heading out now on the golf cart, it’s super quiet. Gonna sit out there as long as I can stay awake. If I miss mass god will have to forgive me. I’m on a mission. Leaving the morons in the house. I’m gonna kill those bastages.

You need thermal!
And a call, then it’s all on your terms, not theirs.
You call em in when you feel like it, or want to. And they just can’t help but get made dead.

ETA; good luck!

I think you’re correct, I’ll shout to you later about therm. I need to learn. But I’m walking out rite now, as soon as I go unload this last bunch of coffee. Later folks.

Could you use some dynamite and fuel oil?

 

[Creedmoor]

Red Man??? They still make that stuff?

I can remember one of my great uncles chewing and wearing a Beech Nut ball cap.

Anxiously awaiting….

OK, heading out one more time. Think I scared em off for a while. 1 dead by shot gun, a young female pup. Think I stung 2 down in the open ditch to my west. Heard one or two yelp after the shot, I couldn’t walk down there. 1 an older male in a foot hold at sunrise across the county road. He met his end by my old H&R trap line 22.

As I walked out I passed my old kit bag hanging in the mud room that had a half dozen old reed calls on an old boot lace, after thinking about what @ditcherman said I grabbed them. A few Olt n Weems calls. That did the trick.

When I went out I could hear them to my South, but my wind was going that way. So I blew a few fawn bleats. Then they lit up all around me. I made some sounds that sounded like something beating a rabbit with a stick and here they came. That’s when I got the shot in the open ditch.

At sunrise I headed across the paved road and found the old male in a foot hold where the doe’s yard up in the winter, a sent post set 3 rows into a bean field.

The two dead ones are hanging on a fence post and a tree, I want their buddies to know they are not welcome. I’ll let you know what happens tonight. Got coffee n the wife made me a couple ham sandwiches. Got chew, shells, and thinking about those calves. Type to INGO tomorrow.

Put a good beating on them. We have to about every two to three years and have taken out 6 to 8 before they stop causing issues.

Weird thing is as long as I see the local red fox running in the field or a couple other hot spots I don't have coyote issues. As soon as I stop seeing the fox I have to thin out the coyotes.

Never tried it, but I remember Mammoth Cave, in the yellow cellophane (before the warnings on the package).

I’ll shout to you later about therm

ATN Thor LT. Wouldn't go below 320x240 sensor resolution, so still over $1,000, but don't waste your money on that "Smart" scope stuff unless you want those bells and whistles, liking recording shots through the scope. Are there better thermal scopes? Heck yeah there are, but for a basic coyote rifle, a 320 Thor LT is hard to beat.

Comparison between Analog Night Vision and Thermal of the same deer, though keep in mind the NV is 1x magnification while the thermal was set to 10x at the time. They both are also much clearer IRL as my iphone did not want to focus on the picture.
