Re: Ruger 77/17 Hornet
I bet he ties a carrot to his fishin pole and lowers it into their burrows, Elmer Fudd style! The 17 Hornet never sleeps...

Okay Don, very nice coyote 'n all, but details man, we need details!
(But it looks like you're having just the right amount of fun for a guy with a new rifle. )

Re: Ruger 77/17 Hornet
Rick, there's all kind of details in that post. Don was in Colorado, the sun was out and it was fairly warm. He spotted a decent size coyote with nice fur. The yote was out in the open but, a LONG ways away. Don ranges him through the binos, grabs that trusty Ruger 77/17 Hornet. Drops him clean, one shot, no exit wound. Okay Don, next time YOU do the typing, LOL!

Re: Ruger 77/17 Hornet
Thanks Ramos. That about covers it.....
Rick, he was well over 300 yds. (not ranged, but a heckuva good guess) to get a first shot hit, in the wind, by holding over his back 6 inches and on his ear to get a lung shot. He spun a couple times, but took off running on my second shot. Ran about 80 yds and keeled over. Sometimes, it's better to be lucky, than good......grin

Re: Ruger 77/17 Hornet
Hmmm. Guess I've just been told. Wishing you continued success with that fine rifle. Over, and out.
