Troy are you pulling my leg? you actually skinned, stretched and dryed 119 jackrabbit hides, and i thought i had respect for renewable resources! didnt even know there was a market for wild jackrabbit fur, yer The Man Troy!
way to go T Bone, if anyone has any ideas on how we can expand this trade, so as to increase our options and not be held ransom by the Market itself, I'm all ears!
I'm still putting up Fur myself, but when i'm done, i'll be looking for a $45 min for my Coyotes, and i will NOT let em go for a dime less, they are Northwestern Heavy's and the put up is excellent, I will sell each and every one of my pelts to over 100 separate individuals over the internet...
Heres one for ya Sly, when my little girl was about 5 years old, i was sanding on something or other in the basement, she decided to help her daddy out and proceeded to sand the door of my 2 week old Browning Gun Safe in the living room using 80grit paper, when i saw her and the great job she...
You crack me up Doug, but thanks bud just the same. I have'nt figured out yet how to post pictures, i'll have to get Ian on it! Since my Tranny has been busted i have been out in the Fur Shed puttin up Fur, so far i've got 48 put up and man they look nice, Rick and i will easily hit the 200 mark...
Just thought i'd mention, last wed and thurs I took 11 Coyotes, 4 of which I used my slydog-pup howler to bring in, they wer'nt going for the dying rabbit thing so i imitated an immature smart ass coyote, threw a couple higher pitched howls and barks at em and they came on it, its a damn nice...
People who think Fur Hunters have no impact on Ranchers Stock loss. Fact is, Every Rancher I know is glad to see me, whatever time of year it is, as he full well knows that significantly reducing overall predator numbers within his boundaries clearly result in reduced stock loss. Second, using...

I own two of them, a couple friends of mine own one as well, I consider them to be Top Flight, well worth the money, the models with the side A.O's are fantastic, I have one of my 3-9 Conquests on my main Coyote Rig (.17DT) I rate them right with my Swarovski 1" tubes as equals, at much...
My all time favorite Calling Cal is the .17. Currently I am shooting the 30gr Gold out of my.17DT or (.100" short) .17PPC. The Action is a Rampro SS with a 4 0z Jewell HVR. 24" #5.5 Shilen 1-10" twist. 3-9x Zeiss optics. Pillar bedded into a Wenig laminated Varminter (scaled down). Myself and...
Sooner or later if you hunt em long enough, you WILL get caught by the greed factor. When i start feeling cocky or over-confident thats usually when i get into trouble trying to second guess the outcome. for myself i have always believed in, he who hesitates is lost, and when that first dog...
I know what you mean MTO. Sure seems like alot of work for your return $$ doesnt it? I remember one year in particular when the Fur Market bottomed out. I had about 90 pelts and was looking at a $17 average. I picked out my best stuff and had me a coat made, just to have something to show for my...

Sorry about the delay in responding. I always skin from my skinning Pole which i attach at the front of my 92 Toyota 4x4. I have a little tray mounted up front on the bumper which houses all my skinning tools, including my shoulder plunger.

In the earlier 80's I started experimenting with the 6-284 for long range Prime Coyotes. It seems i have slowly over the years reduced bullet Mass in the 6-284 in order to find a workable outcome, Today and after 4 different Barrels, I currently shoot the 68gr Berger at 4200, and i...

Haven't dove into the different sounds yet, other than just some variations of an extremely distressed cottontail. I really like the call, it wont bottom out on me and i can really put the air to it. In about 15 weeks it'll be gettin alot of use for sure. Word is ! That there is no...
In my ultra high velocity stuff (22-284) I shoot the 65gr Berger and the 55gr Nosler Ballistic Tip. In my .17DT(.100"short.17ppc) I prefer the 30gr Gold and the 32gr Genco.
