204Ruger

went out yesterday, Shooting a Browning Varmint Stalker in 204, using 35 grain Berger HP's, the 35 Bergers are a little tougher on Fur than the 32 V max's s but not real bad, and it puts them down for the count.

Howler: Yes indeedy! Those are some very nice prime Montana dogs you have there. Congratulations on a very good day afield.

Don't be bashful about telling the story; rifle (mods?), load, the actual hunt. More pics won't hurt anyone's feelings either.......

Sweet pic!! I'd like to hear about the hunt and the rig.

thanks!!

Nice dogs. I especially like the color of the middle one. Are they always that grey up there?
Good shootin.

WOW what a great day you had, nice shooting and nice pictures

Well gents, not all the dogs are like that middle one but there are a few alright. Along the Candadien Line Out of a hundred dogs you might get 25 like the middle one. the middle one has the fur but not the size. it was a pretty small coyote I'm guessing a young female. When I shot that coyote I was thinking it might be an Albino the sun was shining on it and made the white stand out even more. Anyway some info on the hunt I shot 2 dogs on the first 2 stands, we have been having some seriously cold weather up here for a few weeks and the coyotes were holed up as far as I could tell anyway they would not respond to any calls, It was suppose to warm up to near Zero that day so I thought it would be a good day and the coyotes were on the move. like I said the first 2 stands I got 2 than I had a couple of dry runs and then I called in one that cirlced down wind of me and I didn;t get a shot. I set up tad wrong so it was my fault. Anyway I made a few more stands and Miss whitey showed up and she went home with me. one shot facing me and she went down in a heap. I ahd about 15 miles to get back to the road I came in on so I took a short cut and found some big drifts, a #9 grain shovel dose wonders on a snow bank and some good arobic exercise. about a 1/2 hours and I was back on the high grade and the sun was going down so I was happy. here a pic of the snow bank that gave me the exercise

Nice dogs! I bet all that shoveling was worth it!

you got some nice looking coyotes there . that shoveling will warm you up on the coldest day .i do my share of it . i work for the county plowing snow.
congrats again on those fine looking coyote.
