During a week of steady storms with freezing rain and a hard crust on the snow the wild turkeys couldn't scratch through. I was feeding the birds where they wonder through the creek and clearing about 100 yards from my back deck. Even now with the melting snow I'm putting a little feed out just to have a show for the kids and us to watch those silly fowl. This morning I seen a coyote doing the sneak towards the turkeys with the intentions of breakfast. It took a while with the (&^^%&*() gun laws to unlock the vault and get the 300mag out. The poor dog was beside me and the coyote was starting to move at 175 yards so there wasn't enough time to put Champ in the garage. BOOOOO OMMMMM M. One coyote down , then what do I see but coyote #2 step out into the open. BOOOOMMMMM. Knocked him down and watched 2-3 minutes for other coyotes, nothing. I went back into the house and looked out to see coyote #2 get another lease on life and hobble off??? Them things are tough. Now to try and find the dog. Scared the turkeys away too by the way. Maybe if the dog can be found and taken to the coyote he might get keen and want to trail the wounded one. I'll have to hussle as it's going to rain and melt the snow later today. That 2nd coyote should be holed up in some thick spot and stiffening up by now. I had heard the mangey pricks howling/yipping last night. And was thinking they could be trouble again this year for the free range turkeys and chickens. I would post an image but I'm just not smart or computer savy enough to figure out how even though it's been explained 40-50 times here.

175 yards, moving target, standing position. Apart from using the ole sledg-o-matic to swat the fly, sounds like some pretty good shooting. I would agree that 'Yote Number 2 is likely as good as or better than dead. It will be hard to keep 'em away with the turkeys, but you sure can make it hard for 'em to overpopulate.

Now where did all this politicin' come from?

I keep a gun and ammo where nobody can find it at the farm, but its ready to go if a coyote or a fox comes up around the barn. The idiots that made our gun laws didn't ever have a threat by wild animals on their flocks or herds, if they did it might be different. For our American friends, our ammo must be locked in a cupboard away from the guns, the guns must also be locked in a cabinet, so by the time you get out a gun and get out some ammo you could be a victim of man or animal

One of the great things about the gun legislation in this country is that if you aren't in agreement with it, you can always move somewhere else where things are more to your liking. But then you wouldn't have the best of both worlds right?

Interesting that the facts say otherwise. The rates of violent crime in Canada are much lower compared to the USA, where everyone and his mother is armed.

Check for yourself

What are trying to say?

An unarmed public is a good thing?

Good post.
Here are some statistics that are interesting. Notice that less than 1% of murders were committed with "assault weapons" but 6% were done with hands and feet.

Sure ain't what you hear on the news.
