RE: 07 Predator contest, take 2
Yeah that calling was phenomenal to say the least. Our first set right out the ranch door about a 1/4 mile we had 6 dogs busting ass to us. We were both so damn bewildered at that site we only dusted one! LOL
I wish I would have taken my AR15 along. I had my 243 and 100 rounds of ammo, burned all that, and burned 50 out of my 7mm Rem Mag shooting dogs. We went there to deer hunt, and end up not caring about deer hunting and devoted the whole trip to coyote calling. In one set we had 8 dogs in a tree grove with us, I shot 2 of them with my Ruger Mark II 22 target pistol, and 1 with my 243, and my buddy dusted 2 with his 243. The ranch we were on was unreal! My buddy was in Iraq with the ranch manager for 18 months, and thats how we got on that ranch. Now he is no longer with that ranch, and we are trying to get back in contact with the landowner to see if we can come back and hunt it again.
I'll have to do some digging thru my pictures and see if I can find the pics from that trip. We end up coming home with 4 deer, roughly 40 coyotes (some were shot up too bad), a few badgers, and a fox. While driving down the interestate we had guys passing us giving us the thumbs up. At all the gas stations we had tons of people coming up to us asking where we found all those dogs at. LOL It was the same weekend as South Dakota West River deer season, so there were alot of hunters on the road.
