I'd tan and keep that one. Very good looking coyote.

My wife's father isn't doing real well, has me thinking about our limited interactions as they live in Texas and us MN. Long story short My girlfriend and I were going to Texas to meet her parents for the first time, I wanted to get her dad's blessing to marry her. As time ticked down on the trip I got her dad in my truck for a talk and before I brought up anything he says "if your thinking marriage you need to date a minimum 5 years first." That basically killed the discussion. A few months later they were at our wedding and her dad pulled me aside and told me how much it hurt him that I didn't ask and told me I had to ask him there, I did ask and he said yes, he was backed into a corner at that point. I should note My wife and I were 32 and 33 at that point, we've been married 4 years and have 2 kids now, our 5 years of dating would of just been ending.

Sure wish things could of gone differently, I have no regrets but I suppose it's a lesson to log for the future. For whatever reason it feels good to write it out, maybe someone can glean something from it.

Be blessed all.

Yes it is time, but I am waiting for ice as I missed the open water

So true! I did try it at 155 yds and the elevation stayed the same and so did the groups. I do want to try and get my groups at 100 to be closer to 3/4”.

When I hunted a friends farm in NY state he would demand ID from the trespassers and the state police would issue a warning for first offense. This was a necessary step before being written for trespassing for subsequent violations.
I feel your pain with neighbors that suck.
What will law enforcement do for you?

Happy Birthday !!!!!

Sure, filled one tag myself this year,instead of a bunch of extra tags laying on the table…

WOW! CONGRATULATIONS

A buddy of mine gave me his blue handle wiebe fleshing knife when he quit trapping, it’s a pretty good knife. Did skunks, badgers and a lot of coyotes with it.

I'm having the same problem.

What does the taxidermy world use them for?

We don't have a lot of badgers in my area but I love remakes after catching these critters. I usually pack a bucket of drier dirt from the catch circle and use it on other sets.
Love the big holes ...add bait lure and go.
