Has this ever happened to anyone else?

I was using a fawn in distress call on my caller to try to call up a coyote or bobcat. I was in one of my shooting houses that I hunt deer from. The shooting house is next to a fence along the property line with about a 185 yard open lane in front…Continue

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on August 3, 2012 at 16:18: Steve, the trick with shooting a running or trotting coyote at a distance is leading them. Just the same way a duck hunter leads a duck with a shotgun. Theres your reaction time and bullet time to the target. Different calibers have different speeds. That is a fast shooting caliber you have there, at a 100 to 150 yard shot try 1 foot in front. I am not familar with that caliber, so try that and see what happens. I hope this helps you.

Comment by johnny twoshoes on August 3, 2012 at 15:41: Headed to Ithaca this weekend, I'll try to get pics, but not sure how the owner will like that. We'll see.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on August 1, 2012 at 16:06: That's great Steve, the reason I asked the barrel lenth, is that almost all bullet ballistic charts are figured on barrel lenths of 26". People that may have a deer rifle with a shorter barrel will not have the bullet speed, inches of drop and energy, etc. that is posted on a ballistic chart for a given caliber or brand of bullet. I'll give you a few hints on hitting them running coyotes. Latter...

Comment by David Megnin on July 30, 2012 at 14:41: Friday is a good day to go to the range. I'll take a few pieces, weather permitting. I've been wanting to get some new pictures of my M1A1, all dressed up anyway. ;-)

It's worth having one or more in your collection. Besides being pieces of American History they are great shooters. I love shooting the M1 and there's nothing like the sound of the en bloc clip flying out after that eighth round. ;-)

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on July 30, 2012 at 14:23: Yea David, I'd like to see some pictures also.

Comment by johnny twoshoes on July 30, 2012 at 13:58: Hey David, I'd love to see some pics and I'm sure I am not alone. Please post a few if you can. The M1 served our country well and is beautiful firearm, I will definitely have one in my collection.

Comment by johnny twoshoes on July 30, 2012 at 13:57: Steve, great choice.

The 223. will fly straight and will do a Yote in without a problem. Awesome choice!

Comment by David Megnin on July 30, 2012 at 10:38: Hi All,

I just found and joined the iKC Arsenal group. It's nice to have a firearm group along with the knife collecting community.

I inherited a pair of Argentine Mauser Model 1891s, a rifle and a carbine, from my grandfather a few years ago. After researching them for a bit I got the "bug" and started collecting WWII battler rifles. I've accumulated a few U.S. rifles and some foreign ones as well. There are some very fine rifles and handguns from that era. The M1 Garands are among my favorites.

I was able to make a trip to the CMP store in Anniston, AL a few years ago where I picked up my third M1, a "Correct Grade" Harrington and Richardson.

Thanks for this great forum and group!

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on July 29, 2012 at 16:47: Looks like a very good choice for those coyotes. What lenth barrel does it have and what distance do you have it sighted in for?
