Title: Doin' my part for my turkeys.....and deer
Post by: Yoder409 on July 18, 2024, 09:43:18 PM
I got WAAAY too many trailcam pics this spring/summer of coyotes with pieces of fawn in there mouths.

A litter of 3 half-grown ones have been spending too much time in the same place the last week or so.

This afternoon the wind was perfect and last night's rain made the walking silent.  I got into the exact spot I wanted to set up.

Somewhere, there's a 3rd one with a hole behind his front shoulder.

The poults and fawns thank you. The fur on 1st one looks really good for summer, like all the black. Are you seeing a lot of different colored coats?

Still readily obtainable at a price.

Fortunately I grabbed 2 or 3 bricks when it was "cheap" compared to today's prices.

Wish we could hunt them here more, they are really hurting the population. I want a season for those fisher too. Can't touch them until Fall.

It's New York, we have a season to urinate, and the license isn't cheap!

Awesome job on taking those coyotes, nice to see you get them with the 5mm, glad to see some ammo coming back for this somewhat forgotten cartridge. Thanks for sharing

I absolutely LOVE the 5mm Rem Rim Mag and its awesome capabilities.

Nice work!  Is the 5mm magnum a new cartridge. I don't think I've ever seen that one.

That one's a 591M.

My 592M actually is a better shooter.  It just doesn't have a scope on it at the moment.
