Nice, He shoots as good as daddy already! :p What I "like" about the DCF here is their workers are usually young childless social workers who in their "infinite experience" are going to tell you the proper way to raise your children. That's CT. Then many years ago I had indirect dealings...

http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2008/09/18/features/outdoors/18-outdoors.txt By MARK HENCKEL Montana Outdoors In real life, hunting doesn't always present a perfect world. Bad things can happen. You have to look at a situation, quickly weigh the morals and ethics, be aware of the...

Good idea on the papers, I stick some in there next time I shoot.

LOL,,,it looked like maybe they were eyeballing me to see if maybe I was what was stinkin' so bad. I was up on the rocks near the top and they weren't too far above me, I could see them quite plainly. I made a point of moving every now and again so's they didn't think I was dead. :p Nice on...

I've used stinky squirrels, once I managed to gather up a nice collection of turkey buzzards hovering over my head. LOL...

#2 Birdshot is the largest scatter round allowed. They will let you use slugs but not buckshot. I agree on the wounded coyotes but yes it is difficult to find enough space to get into centerfire rifle or buckshot that might travel too far. I use the SG because that's what I already have, I am...

It was a gray day so I went out in jeans, a dark blue long sleeve shirt and a dark green boonie. Hid in amongst a big rock fall and set the call at the bottom about 25 yds below in a sapling on the flat ground. I probably moved too much and too fast when in position. Nothing covering my scent...

Yes it is and now I'm not quite as dumb as I was the other day. :)

Bowhunting for them sounds like a challenge. I wonder what the legalities it CT are on that. Step 1. Learn to shoot a bow! Yup, I believe I also read that in the spring on the order of 4000 fawn are taken by coyotes in CT. So I'm hoping to have some luck with that fawn scenario.

Thanks again for the time you have taken to help me out. Greatly appreciated! :)

Thanks! ;) I patterned the SG a while ago, I believe it has a modified choke in it. At 50 yds it put most of the pellets of 2 3/4" x #4 turkey rounds on a turkey target, IIRC ~8" pattern, so I figure I'm good at 25 with the 3 inchers and #2 shot. The box claims 1300 fps. When I first went out...

What size is "T" shot? We're limited to nothing bigger #2 birdshot here in ct. unless it's private land, so I'm in the same boat. I'm using a youth cut 870 20 ga with 3" x #2 birdshot and I'm setting up at ~25 yds. I bought a Taurus .22mag revolver for backup but it's a POS and I wouldn't trust...

I'm just studying up on coyote hunting and recently bought a call. Electronic type. What I've read so far says howling is best and bobcat urine is a good attractant. Anybody have experience with these? My questions are: How often should you howl? What time of day is best? If you use the urine...

Will you provide out of state vets with air fare? :D

Well that certainly nips the high v / low accuracy theory in the bud. Nice group! Funny, I have the same Savage but in .22LR / .410, inherited it. Sweet little gun.
