Had a great morning coyote hunt with A forum member today. Once again he showed how versatile hand calls by getting a dog to pop up 5-7 yards to my right, which once the dog & I got our wits back I proceeded to epically miss @ 60-70 yards
3rd set he was tracking one south bound @ 550 yds, while I laid crosshairs on a east bound one @ 420 yds...I managed to connect with a good solid body shot, although we failed to find the carcass I'm positive he wasn't long for the sunshine.
I'm getting a lot more confident in my 6.5-06 Ackley as I shoot it (18 fire formed shots so far), and the night force SVH sure helps that! Ordering a couple swagger bi-pods and I should be ready for prime dogs!
Still haven't crono'd it, but guessing @ 3200 FPS seemed to be pretty damn close thru the scope. Still need to order dies, @ more brass!
