Cold Coyote Calling - Advise Please

Here in SW Ohio, we have had unusual weather this winter. Very cold. I was out the other night when it was 10 degrees, but it wasn't windy so it didn't feel that bad. Is was so cold, my mouth call froze up; my eye glasses would freeze over from being in the face mask I was wearing. Any you guys ever...

Dog Food As Yote Bait

I am the proud owner of a Savage .204 VLP that I have sighted-in at 200yrd dead on. I shoot VMax 32's and it produces nickel size groups consistantly. For the past several months, I have been locating active coyote areas in SW Ohio. Once the crops get out of the fields - the fun begins! Coyotes, as ...

Re: stock painting

Does painting the weapon reduce it's value in the event a guy wants to sell it?

Thanks fellows. One other questions....why are Nosler brass so expensive? Are then better then Winchester, Ruger, Remington and federal. Do these companies all produce their own brass or do are they made at one place and only the name changes?

I just want to save some monet reloading; not concerned with being about to load 100''s of rounds per hour; a system that is quality. As far as a budget - I am hoping to keep t...

Help with a question

I read here and there where hunters say "my gun like this ammo or that ammo". What does this mean? How do you find out what ammo your gun likes?

Thank you


Phil :)
