Well, guess everybody’s in the woods. My lovely spouse has never wanted me to hunt on Sunday, or work, or anything not focused on R&R, spiritual, family &/or her......and one of my smarter moves has been I’ve never argued. Of course she’s made it pretty easy as her request list leaves a whole lot that’s all 100% positive, pleasurable & fun.
So, have time to post these Rem. model 700’s, a SS 7mm-08 and a 30-06 that completely spoiled me. Both have been dead-on for decades but I’d never missed, & with one shot kills only with my ‘06....until I did. And both my teenage son and I were so shocked we didn’t/couldn’t speak. I mean a 175 yard big coyote......& he just ran off!!
It’s kinda’ funny now but I’m certain I expected the rifle to take him by itself. I’m certain nobody else here has ever done anything similar, but I at least learned that lesson. Eighteen whitetails, 27 coyotes, two gobblers over 40+ years doesn’t mean “it won’t miss”; it just feels like it.
So, along with those two is a much hunted & enjoyed S&W 629 and a Sportsman’s Bowie and a Behring Build knife I’m hoping to bloody soon. AND a pic of some of my favorite hunting hand loads I’m thinking y’all will recognize.
