Title: Only got one this afternoon....
Post by: Arkyyoter on October 13, 2006, 09:03:04 PM
Jim and I went out this afternoon....made a couple dry stands...on the second stand, as we were parking the truck, a yote takes out across the pasture....Jim was trying to get on him and barked...the dog stopped just for a second or so the took off again....he barked one more time and the dog stopped for an almost immeasurable time and was leaving, obviously having no more of it!! He was walking a pretty fair distance away.....I dropped prone and got on him....held what I thought looked good and followed through after the shot....the dog went down hard as the 75 Vmax found it's mark....we measured it after the shot, it was 260 yards...

I think this was one of the longer shots I have ever made on a moving dog...

Man I am loving that little Browning.....

 Joe,
Another day another dog. Long shot on the move, congratulations. Did you have any problem moving the bipod around to get the shot?

I guess if they run, they just die tired. All those years in law enforcement kept you sharp with a rifle I see. Good work Joe, wish I could be there. You just may top last seasons tally. Shoot straight,R.J.

Thanks guys....having a blast!!!

RJ.....wish you and LB were still coming  :bowingsmilie:  Yotin' is good  :biggrin: I am not going to get a specific total any more!! It took a little of the fun out of it last season....I am just going to shoot as many as I can  :yoyo:

Jim, you are right.....we do now have a few days off....Muzzle loading season ( for deer) opened this morning, so now I can't have a rifle in the woods....oh well, need a few days off to get caught up anyway...way behind on calls :whew:
