Coyotey down!

One of our neighbors called Dad and told him there was a coyote in his trash pit. We jumped in the jeep and drove down. We got there and Nash tried to shoot it with the .22( I know, I know) but it didn't go down so I dropped it with the .222. DRT. Nice female coyote. Got her skinned and she's in the freezer. Also went bobcat hunting with the dogs but didn't get anything. Who says Mondays are bad!

Bobcat DOWN!!

Today on the way home from town, we checked our bobcat and coyote traps. Me and Nash walked down the hill where there's a little cave where we have a trap. There were bobcat tracks going down the hill, and we were hoping we had it in the cave set. It had walked right over another set we had out but the trap was frozen down. But sure enough, Nash started hollerin "We got a cat!!" I shot it with the K22, and Mom and Dad came down and we got some pictures. First bobcat!! Nice female. Needless to say, we were(and still are) PUMPED!!









Dad was so excited, he's laid a bunch of traps this year, and it all finally came together for him. :)

Modifications to my shooting sticks

I have alway been afraid that that the wing nut and bolt would crack if I got them too tight on my 5/8s dowel rod shooting sticks. So last night, I took four casterating bands and stretched them over the tops of the dowels in place of the nut and bolt. They work great! I can't wait to try 'em out!

Package in the mail!!

The prize knife I won for the Predator Masters 2010 Deer photo contest came today! The guy who put together the contest was nice enough to throw in a Leupold cap, The Verminators IV dvd, and a Verminators decal along with the main prize, the custom skinning knife and sheath. My brother Nash, who also had a picture in the contest, was a runner-up, so he gets the cap, and we can share the video and decal! : )

Fixed up the Preymaster....

Today I decided to upgrade our Johnny Stewart Preymaster. We had a coffee can and screwed the speaker onto the lid, and put the remote, wire, and sound cards inside the can(see my "Calls" page). But I found a Maxwell House can that had a handle on it so it would be easier to carry. A little bit of Krylon had it looking good. : )
