I feed the gut piles to the foxes around here. Coyotes used to be a problem before I picked up a 6.8 SPC caliber AR-15, they were smart enough to move on after a couple of them were ghosted at long range. They give my neighbors chickens hell now lol. I like listening to them howling at night especially in the winter. Hearing it echo off the mountain is eerie at night.

They howl when the trains come through at night. Makes me think of when they first heard one.

The volunteer fire departments fire truck siren sets ours off like nobody's business. It's so quiet here at night you can here them for miles. I used a siren as a locator call often when hunting them. Some just couldn't resist it.

Nah, the rifle shoots well. Sometimes I can hold it steady enough for it to do its job, other times they get lucky lol.

When I moved to CO I heard what I thought must have been a mountain lion. Boy did I feel like a dumbass when I saw the little critter making all that noise,
. Stupid fox.They use to torment my 125 lb Mastiff/Lab since he was on a chain outside and steal his toys until I let him off one day when one was fucking with him. He chased him back to their den and found all his stolen toys. Each time he got off his chain he went back to get more of his shit,

Their barks/calls at night used to freak me out when we first moved up here until I figured out what they were. I like having them around as long as they leave my cats alone. I've lost a few over the years to them.When I moved to CO I heard what I thought must have been a mountain lion. Boy did I feel like a dumbass when I saw the little critter making all that noise,

Best friend showed up Friday afternoon & took this old buck at first light on opening day.
I managed to scrounge up a buck myself.

Deer/Elk hunting gone wrong in a 250K Beaver.
You don't get to walk away from too many of these - NTSB's determination was wind shear drove her down & the floats/struts absorbed a large portion of the impact.
BTW, she was rebuilt & is still flying to this day.

I hope to do a backpacking elk hunt one day. They introduced Elk to SW Virginia a number of years ago and hunting lotteries are crazy busy for the 5 tags they're releasing. I've bounced hard during an auto rotation of a Blackhawk chopper but so far all my fixed wing flights have been crash free.

I got lucky to see the Chadwick Ram, the Holy Grail for any NA sheep hunter.
Now that's a Stone!
Despite the reference calling him a "Big Horn", Stones (as are Dall Sheep) are classified as a "Thin Horned" sheep. Anything 40" or larger is considered a great trophy, but to have one that scores over 50" on each horn is unheard of.

I've heard em sparring on the next ridge a mile away.
It's a wonder that a ram could go that long without breaking more horn.
