Title: Did a little predator removal.
Post by: Deputy 14 on February 10, 2019, 05:21:28 PM
Had a great tournament hunt the past 24 hours. Called up 11 dogs, killed 2, and missed 4 runners between us. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190210/fd0287be70a2eb01ba8f6337942f5ead.jpg)

Just curious, why are they muzzled with tape? The hole in the head would lead me to believe they won't be biting anyone anytime soon.

Not trying to be a smarta$$, just honestly curious. Sounds like you had a great time though, and good for getting rid of a few turkey killers!

Get that question a lot Hahahaha. In these predator tourneys you have to write the tournament code on a 1x1x3 wood block and and put it in their mouth and tape it closed. Prevents cheating in a couple diff ways.

Congrats, I love to call predators almost as much as I love to turkey hunt.

I was going to ask if you ran out of silver bullets and that was just a precaution.

Very nice. I have a buddy that's looking at the Browning Hells Canyon in the .204. Just curious... (Looks like fun!)

Very nice. Haven't went coyote hunting since I moved to NC. Miss it, it was a ton of fun. Congrats

Nice shooting. Good trapping also coons and foxes are nest bandits for sure.

Congrats. They certainly need to be controlled.  I have never pointedly hunted them but, I have called a few in while conversing with gobblers, none of them ever broke up another nest.

Best thing for the deer herd, too many lately. Nice couple of yotes there.
