I can attest to her weight as it was almost a half mile drag to get her home.....I was quite thankful for the packed ski-doo trail that lead most of the way though! And yes, she had an amazing coat, better than any I've got this year by far, lots of mange this year.

her are some of my varmint pics
red fox

jackal
my son and a friend of him with tree seal shoot in the head with a 22-250 loaded wit 50 gr v-max

This pic is from May,09 S.D. PD shoot. First time out for my Ruger #1 .204 Wasp. At 634 yds the 40 gr V-Max performed well almost takeing the head off. I was fireforming brass with 29.5 gr N135 Fed 210 for 4040 fps. New load for this May is 31.5 gr Varget, 39 gr Blitzking for 4128 fps. Cases are R-P 30-30 1.770 length with a .250 long .232 dia neck. Shoulder is 30* like my .219 Wasp.

Almost stepped on this varmint when I opened door of truck in May,07.

We haven't killed very many rattlers on this ranch the last few years, maybe 5 or 6, but only one was more than 100 yards from that gate in the background. We are very careful around that gate.

Here are a few within the last little while.

Noticed this fella at the back of the house just off of the trout pond. By the time I grabbed the 204 T3 lite he had wandered 250 yds out to where my "meatsicle" was set up (just set it up on Saturday):evilgrin: Let the games begin.
Smacked him with a 38 grain wildcat, 4 spins and he was done. Entrance was just a touch smaller than a quarter, no exit, insides like "jello".




Got up this morning and had two visitors eyeing up my freshly made "meatsickle" from the edge of some heavy willows. Pretty cagey and didn't want to commit. Gave a couple of "cottontail distress" calls from the deck and the big male came out to have a quick look. A 35 gr berger launched from the T3 lite at a lasered 267 yds put him into "dream land". :evilgrin:



Finished opening x-mas gifts and was going to go out on the deck to try out the new call I got. The "ruffi dawg" call by Les Johnson from "Predator Quest". Took a look through the binos (was pretty foggy), and had two visitors out. One on the "meatsickle" and one chewing on his dead comrade that I smacked earlier in the week. So out comes the T3 lite and a 35 gr berger was launched "gift wrapped". The little fella did 3 spins and was done. Surprisingly the 5 dead ones on the pile were basically cannibalized and were gone.:sick: I imagine this one will get chewed up in a few days as well.:evilgrin:
HO HO HO and merry X-mas.







Woke up this afternoon after working nights and had this big male chewing on the new meatsickle that I put out last week. It was a bit breezy today and the 243 has been a "safe queen" as of late with the 204 getting most of the action, so out comes the 243 T3 lite. Laid prone on the deck and sent a 68 gr match grade berger pushed with 46.7 gr of H-414, 260 yds out. DRT. Small entrance, no exit.





Getting ready to head off to work last night and my son said there was another yote that showed up at the "meatsickle". I was to busy so he grabbed the T3 lite and sent another "gift wrapped" 35 gr berger with a nice resounding "smack". Another "merry x-mas" dog off of the "meatsickle"

Here's another one from late fall.


Was enjoying a cup of coffee yesterday morning when I spotted this little fella wandering around out back on the slough bottom. Figured it was a good time to test out the 38 gr wildcat out of my 204 T3 lite. Tiny entrance hole, and a quarter sized exit. DRT

Another one from early fall.


Smacked this little fella from my upstairs window as he was snacking on some moose ribs that I have tied up a couple of 100 yds away.

A buddy of mine whacked this yote while out bowhunting for deer last fall. Right between the lookers.

Have added some new ones here as well.

I just spent the last couple hours looking thru this whole thread & all the links.
Lot's of mighty fine pictures guys, thanks for sharing.

Went out this morning to top up the ole "meatsickle" with some dog food and left over table scraps as there was nothing left of it. The yotes have turned nocturnal on me and have only been coming in at night. Went down along the bush line and stopped with pail in hand and gave a quick call on my "ruffi dawg" call. These two pop out of the willows at about 230 yds. I pop the first one and the second one gets confused and runs towards me. I give out a couple of barks and he puts on the brakes and stops broadside at 200 yds for just an instant allowing me to send another 88 gr berger pushed with 42.8 gr of H-414.

Awesome!

Nice to hunt out of your bedroom window!

Hi a few pics of foxing in ireland
all shot with .204 remingtion with nightforce and s&b scope few early mornings and evening with a few nights lamping as well enjoy

Few more pics most of them shot with .204


This fox was shot with .300 wm

you're using TOO much gun

so do you consider the 204 to be adequate for shooting foxes?

Mangy dog killed while burning the pines off after deer season.
.25 wssm using 110 gr accubonds at 210 yards

same gun using super X 120 gr PEP's, cheap accurate round for whitetails as well as varmints.These coyotes are taking a big chunk out of our whitetail crop. very best

Some pics from predator calling in Bulgaria, one badger and three golden jackals

The badger was filmed...

This was from a few years back, (1994) when my beard was red instead of arctic blonde. That's 127 coyotes my partner and I trapped and called in 2 months.

Any recent Varmint hunting going on?

I'd share a photo from before Thanksgiving but I missed . Miscalculated the range on a dark black coyote with the Sako L461 .223 w/ 50gr JHP. Ended up being close to 360y. Should have just let the 7mm STW run out to the dog instead. Oh well
