Four weeks four yotes! The mange has a pretty strong hold of em around here. It's amazing they can survive below zero temps with no hair! Tough critters.

22-250 closest 130yds longest 270yds. Winchester factory ammo 45 grain jhp 4,000fps. Gun is a Browning a-bolt with a cheap Bushnell 4-12 scope that I have a replacement for when I get time to replace it.

My goodness, 8-32x50 ![]() That's to reach out and touch something longrange ![]() it does look like you have the Bushnell dialed it though! |

I really can't complain about it. It's held its zero which can b an issue with cheaper scopes. It just falls short in light gathering ability and magnification for prairie dogs at a distance.

You did good to thin the herd. Mange is very contagious with coyotes. Hard to exterminate once it sets in. Yeah, I'd take the Nikon, too. Nothing wrong with the Bushnell, but Nikon optics are tough to beat. |

Those do look like bad yotes. Back in the 70's when their coats were the rage I made a few bucks hunting and selling the fur.

I think that last one was smiling at you. Probably enjoying his 72 virgins ![]() The Nikon should let you sight in on them a day ahead. |

Those turkeys were from last year. A few days ago I counted 47 of em when I was fillin the water trough. That buck had been hit by a car or truck. Both his left legs had compound fractures, and somehow he made it at least 250 yards from where the closest road is. |
