Re: First coyote with the 204

AK204, I don't have the experience to really compare it to anything but my Swifts. And still I haven't shot it that much. But from what I know so far it's money well spent. I know this, if aliens came down and zapped this gun up out of the blue I would also save up and get another just like it witho...

Re: First coyote with the 204

Hello Silverfox, I haven't heard any prices but I kind of assumed the value would be down considering the economy. I spent the summer working north of Killdeer but when the price of oil dove everything came to a hault and from my understanding fur prices did the same thing. If I hear anything new I'...

Re: First coyote with the 204

The rifle is a Kimber Pro Varmint. And this was the 124th shot out of it. That is a nice coyote and a fur I'll be hanging onto.

First coyote with the 204

Not much of a story. This one showed up at just over 100 yards at about 8 minutes of calling. It took a 39gr BK in the chest and was dead before it hit the ground. A nice Montana male. There was a second trailing that I didn't see till it ran off when this one dumped over. Hate it when that happens....

Re: First victim of my first 204

Making the landowner happy is all part of the game. And this was a easy way to do it. Thanks for the welcome, Captqc. Hotshot, I'll miss shooting that Swift. There wasn't much it couldn't do with a hot loaded 55gr BT, but the 204 ballistics are very close with the heavier bullets and I find it quite...

First victim of my first 204

I guess I assumed my first kill would be a coyote, but none showed today. On the way out I opened the gate and saw this porky heading up the hill on the other side of the road. Granted it's not much of an accomplishment but it will make the cattle rancher happy. That was the 61st shot through the ne...
