Pups without guidance are easy pickings and should be eliminated first, as their more of a threat to livestock because of their desperation to find food.
Letting them live will only add to their education in survival.
It's nice to be able to get on them from minute one.
Your keeping them on...
Thanks for the review.
With the realistic calls of the lucky duck, hopefully you won't get shot at, like Tisto did !!!!
Because you got the roughneck, I ordered the X24 call.
Maybe we'll meet up sometime to do a comparison ?
Nothing heard or seen again tonight at one of my hunting club ranges that I was told had coyote all over the place.
3 separate times hunting them there and zilch.
Maybe the fourth time will be a charm ?
I set up the van rooftop mounted thermal for awhile, as it got a little windy and it was a...
I was using a blaze 48V 2000 watt off road scooter.
It's a nice scooter, but under powered, especially when I'm all decked out in my hunting gear.
I tried to make it more powerful, but it's not in the cards.
It was a semi expensive lesson to learn ( the salesman said it would do what I needed it...
Rain sucks, but if it's not to bad, I'm going to give it a go tonight at one of my local gun clubs, after I check my muzzle loaders zero.
I was told the dogs make a ruckus just after sundown at this club.
Nice call, Heard good things about them.
I'm sure we'll get a no nonsense review from you...
First coyote kill with the XG.
The XP has a wider field of view, because of it's 1.5x base mag + 38mm lens.
It's a great scope, but it doesn't have a BAE sensor of the XG and I've always wanted another BAE sensor scope after I sold the N vision Halo I had.
The XG is the first BAE sensor thermal...
Friday PM/ Sat Am - I finally made it out of the suburbs and into the woods around 10pm.
Heard coyote right from the start, they were just 400+ yards away.
Dropped my call while trying to get closer.
Had six small coyote 40 yards away from me while I was searching for where I thought the call...
This is what I've been using to not become a tree stand piñata, which was my biggest fear, as I hunt alone most of the time.
Made in PA and is reusable.

Holy cow Batman, line, belt , quick deploy parachute and reserve , but no helmet or neck brace in case you do accidentally fall over while your putting all this gear on ?
I'd have to leave an hour earlier to make it into the stand with all of the safety gear that's "required" and hope I didn't...
It would've been stupid if you didn't go and coyote were running amok !
It's like the lottery, you gotta be in it to win it.
I've never shot a coyote while sitting on the couch.
How did your thermals image look in the rain and humidity ?
My fall predator season has been dismal at best.
I only heard one coyote Sat PM during a weekend of hard hunting, but never saw it.
11:00 - 4:30 am Fri, 6:30 - 3 am Sat, 6:30- 8:30pm doing cow herd over watch, as two calves were born last Thursday and stopped at one of my clubs pheasant...
With going off topic on thermals, I'm guessing you didn't shoot anything today ?
I concur with J here, you pay for what you get with thermals, but you need to also take display size and resolution into account, no matter what the cost.
A wide field of view (FOV) and big display size, with lower...
There was a snafu with shipping the XG, but it should be here later this week according to tracking.
I got it sighted in with the XP for now, so it's ready to kill.
I'm also waiting for the lapua 77 grn OT projos to arrive.
Was told their a bit more accurate and deadly than the Noslers I'm using...
I'm keeping my XP, just in case the XG doesn't live up to the hype.
As you know, you get what you pay for and I'm told that the XG is the shit.
Here's a pic of the first shot on target at 100 yards, after the rifle was disassembled, barrel fluted, coated, cleaned thoroughly and reassembled...
Just got my Impulse fluted barrel back, duracoated it with three coats of matte black and two coats of matte clear.
It weighs 11 pounds topped with the Thermion XP38 and a loaded five round steel AI magazine, the way I carry it in the field.
Bipod is on just for pics.
It's still a little barrel...
Seems like a nice spot, hopefully the game cam will see some good deer to get you psyched for opening day.
Look into installing some type of skirt around the stand to keep you hidden after the leaves drop, so you won't be sky lined.
I guess he's never heard of a warning shot ?
Why this officer did this interview is beyond me, as now her parents have a taped excuse/confession and will drain the DC police Dept for a lot of money and possibly have his pension taken away too.
In the end, His decision to hole up with the people...
Fearing how you'll look bad , Aka Optics, is why the GOP loses in the end, as their afraid to get dirty in the trenches with their voters.
While the regressive leftist's are fighting a guerilla war, the GOP lines up for a skirmish after tea time and are getting picked off one by one.
The end...
Some time ago I had a friend in PA inform me a local military collector had a Lahti L39 mounted on a trailer, with ammo, reloader and components for sale, for 3 grand.
I had the money, but WTF was I going to do with a semi auto 20mm, except brag that I owned a semi auto 20mm !
My friend had all...
States impose minimum caliber restrictions for a reason.
Unless you prove your talents at long range shooting to a guide that's willing to take a chance that your skilled enough to make an ethical kill shot at distance, their going to get you as close as possible to the quarry.
At those...
I want to have my savage impulse barrel spiral fluted.
The smith in Texas that I usually use is real busy.
Does anyone have a smith they can recommend around the tri state area ?
Thanks,

I'm not a Rem fan boy, but you need to give Remington it's due.
For decades, they've been the rifle that all others were compared to and have been building custom 700 rifles since 1962.
The model A ford of the firearms world.
I did some load testing for a friends Premiere HMR Pro last weekend...
Yet those Lib's that are buying those weapons in NY, NJ and other slave states, vote for the same idiots that are making the gun grabbing laws.
We have millions of gun owners in NY state, enough to make any election close, yet when it's time to vote..................Crickets.
The proof and...
Libs have ben planning this the whole time.
Defund the Police unit's that take guns off the streets.
Let murder + crimes involving guns soar until the scared and fed up public demand a response to cure the problem the Dems intentionally caused.
Take all guns away for public safety.
The world is...
I've been using Rivers edge tree stands for years.
We have multiple single and two man stands on our properties.
Regardless of the stand brand you buy, a curtain/skirt is a must have for concealment of movement.

ATN has a bad track record in all of those Dept's.
They are innovative, but there's a reason for the drastically reduced price.
Their good for mounting on a cinder block, before throwing it in a lake.
ATN= Another Technological Nightmare.
Read reviews on night vision sites before buying anything ATN.
There are some ATN products that are said to work without issues.
I was also told that I'm a Nigerian prince and my...
You can easily spot a person carrying appendix while their sitting down.
They look like they have some type of indigestion and are loosening their belts to relieve the pain of their guts being squished, or the holster being stuck into their groin.
I've been there, having carried a pistol or two...
I don't want to come off as condescending either, but in your first paragraph, you let us know about holster's and then in the second paragraph, you acknowledge that this chassis system only fit's a certain set of circumstances ?
I guessing that would include the circumstances that don't entail...
Two questions.
Why would you want the muzzle of your firearm pointing at your junk all the time ?
Do you ever plan on sitting down while using this holster ?
From the factory, the laser is aligned with the bore, not the sights.
You need to dial it in, just like you would do with a factory bore sighted rifle scope.
Come on Man !!!
Three lessons here ;
Always wear eye protection.
Never shoot questionable Ammunition.
Budget and 50BMG don't belong in the same sentence.
Having been around, shooting and testing 50Bmg rifles and ammunition most of my life, I have seen my fair share of failures and malfunctions.
Luckily most of...
And you probably think that Cuomo is doing a great job too ?

If you just want to dull the shine on your hunting rifle, you should just have it bead blasted.
If you want to do some type of coating on it in the future, their going to bead blast it first, as the coating sticks better when applying it to a bead blasted surface.
47 grains of H4350 chronod an Avg around 3,450 fps, with minimal pressure signs and no extraction issues.
It put 5 rounds into a dime at 100 yd's, So I'm good with that for now.
I'm thinking of trying out some 95 gr projos in the future, but I have hundreds of 70 grn projos to go through.
Got a lone female while doing over watch on cows and calves early Sat Am.
This one was harassing the herd for awhile before I could bridge the distance to get a shot at it.
70 gr NBT did the job, even with the bad shot placement.
Hopefully the first of many with the Impulse Predator.
