RE: 07 Predator contest submission pics.
 

I couldn't compete with some of you knowledgable guys on even ground... much less being stuck in these woods while you're loping across the prarie! LOL!

We're having a prettydecentyear actually but it's been shrouded by misses and cripples. November/December are our dead months due to the insane pressures put on our coyotes by the general public during other hunting seasons. October produced a lot of callups but very few kills. I finally dumped my primary night rig after wounding 8-10 and missing as many more. Shouldn't have waited as long as I did... but it was an expensive tool to let go. Now we're not wounding anything- and missing very few.

I'm hoping to break 50 and I still think it's doable. I have a trip planned next weekend to some open countryand two contest at the end of the month. All other out-of-state trips are on hold due to budget constraints but once I hit the cornrows and the rut comes around; we'll see some more fur. Hopefully a lot of it?


PS: This warm weather combined with the 25wssm has limited the number of pictures I take. Something about crows circling our parking lot turns offpotential clients. ???

Hey, can we get a score update posted in this thread somehow? Maybe the original post could be edited to include the ongoing score?

I got this guy yesterday. My first contribution and first dog with this upper. He took a fatal V-max injection behind the right ear from about 200 yards. I was aiming for the shoulder but didnt account for wind drift. To think I might have missed him.

Way to go HighDesert! What are the specs on the new upper?

I got my first ever yote today. My dad pushed out a coyote for me today and I hit him 1 out of three tries on a dead run going sideways. The first shot he was coming towards me, but I jerked the shot and missed him. After that he turned sideways and picked up another 20 miles an hour. The second shot I didnt lead him enough and the third, I caught him just in front of the shoulders where the body meets the neck and I dropped him at 100 yards. shot him with my .222 CIL 830 50 gr HP. (50 points for team 8)

its lunch box upper me and a buddy pieced togther from extra parts. The upper reciever is a bushamster the barrel is a stainless 20" dpms bull I think the gas block is a CMMG or model 1 I cant remember. The bolt carrier assembly is from del ton and the forearm stock is a DPMS free float. The lower assembly I used from my other AR but sooner or later I think I may get a Cav Arms lower assembly. The scope is an older BSA that I peeled the BSA logo off of and glued a Leupold medallion I found one day at the range in its place. Its kinda funny when someone at the gun range approaches and comments on the nice leupold scope. LOL
