Depended on where I would be calling.   In the wide open spaces of the wilds usually one of my 17 caliber wildcats.   On windy days or in thick cover The Stealth (6X47).   On ADC ranches where hang ups were common - usually one of my 6mm wildcats or a 270 Win.

Did a lot of calling with my specialty pistols as well, and in the end with my black powder small bore muzzle loaders.   
Got a bunch of 22 caliber center fire rigs I used to use for calling too, but they all became safe queens when I got into the 17's about a decade ago.

Now my "go to" is the remote for the entertainment system.    :rolleye:

Ar-15 is the gun I take when I get to go out.And that's been a big zero this year.

Born and raised in the southern highlands of Appalachia, I'm just an ol' country boy who enjoys calling coyotes... nothing more, nothing less.

My old favorite is a Winchester 670 in a 243 that my Dad bought me when I was 11 years old.  She ain't pretty, but shoots great

Well the last couple years all the hunting I have done is varmint control in my garden. This has been done with a Savage 93R17 .17 HMR from the bathroom window. Or my Walther P22 when I am out scratching in the dirt. I bought the Walther just for this and it fits in my back pocket just like it should. I have also made a couple long 75 yard shots on the long eared varmints eating my salid. :mad3:

I know what ya mean!  :sad:  Even though mine is a ol' 722 Rem'.  If I find one in the woods I'll see if you want it.  :wink:

Ruger 22-250 with some Harris bipods topped with a Burris 3-9X40.  It's got a bull barrel and a bench shooting laminated stock.  The darn sucker is heavy to carry around, but it don't miss much. :eyebrow:




My brother has a Howa 22-250. 


hand call user primarily, but if you gotta use an e-caller, there ain't nothing that sounds better than a Wildlife Tech

TA17rem

Anyone of my 17 rem.s but mostly my 17 pred. or 22-250 ackley.




bushmaster

I got a new go to, my Rock River Arms LAR in 6.8SPC!!!  I couldn't be more happy with a rifle.  There's one problem though, I no longer have my bushmaster since trading it for the 6.8... Does this compromise my Screen name? :wo:
