Salmon, I do believe yotes will cross with dogs but I do not believe it's as prevalent as some think. As far as the shooting and trapping of yotes. Outside of widespread poisoning, which is illegal there is no way to eliminate coyotes. They are here to stay. In my neck of the woods coyotes are...

I caught this black / kinda melanistic yote a couple years ago.

Several years ago, 10-15 or better, I bought a box of Hornady 284 cal. I opened the box a few days later and something just didn't look right. I found several .264 caliber bullets. I called Big Red and told them my issue. They recalled a couple lots of bullets. They sent me two boxes of what I...

We have very few yotes that would go in the 50 lbs, heck, a 35-40 lb'er is a monster here. I killed a big male 3-4 yrs ago while hunting that might have gone 35-40 lbs and I thought he was big. I thought somebody's German Shepherd had gotten loose. I shot this ol boy about 12pm. I do not "live...

Im in South Carolina. Yep, 550 it is. Outside of a 2-3 Bridger's the MB 550 is all I use.

Nasty coyotes!! I despise those things; Pushing up daisies now!!

Im with Jim!! It's been a long time since I loaded the 243 and when I did it was with IMR-7828, 100 gr Nosler Partition. Wonderfully accurate and devastating on white-tails.

Thank the Lord for that!!

I have no un-loved powder or bullets. I love them all equally, well, there's a couple that I love a little more. 😁

I raised our 4 children and 2 grandsons after their father was tragically killed with my 280. We always had venison and wild "hawg" sausage on the table. The only way I'll ever be without my 280 is through death.

I've had mine for 30 yrs and have killed upwards of 150 deer with it. It is a great cartridge for sure

I spent a little time at the range today. My intent was to sight the 280 back in due to changing to the Talley scope mounts. That went well. one shot and on paper and it was right back to "boringly" shooting those 154 gr SST's into 3/4 of an inch. My other intent was to decide which load I was...

I've always tried to adhere to that but the old idiomatic saying, "The best laid plans of men and mice often go awry" sometimes get in the way.

None of that "old school stuff" is the same anymore.

Great memories!! Love those full stock rifles. Every now and again we all do things that we regret, however, Im glad you had the opportunity to rectify that mistake. I got rid of a Browning many years ago that I regret more than anything but like smoke through a keyhole, it's gone forever with...
