Dad’s still got it !

Last weekend, we had a little daylight only contest for a local FFA chapter. We ended up with 9 coyotes and a second place finish.

On the set pictured above, dad and I set up on opposite sides of a small ridge. Four coyotes came in to the call. I was able to get a head shot on two of them and as they circled the ridge dad dropped one at 60 yards and the other at 370 with his dainty little Beanland 22-250.

I threw in a nice cat from the night before. She’s been a local at our little pasture for a couple of years, but lately developed a taste for quail and let’s just say that exhausted her first 8 lives.

Anyway, 70 years old and still gettin after it!

That is great that you two are still running and gunning! Enjoy those precious times with your father! When everything is said and done, those kind of times will be the things most cherished in life. Thanks for sharing.

I think this is why we do what we do its just not about the kills its the hunts that fills our hearts. Thank you very much for bringing back some great memories.

Cherish those moments. Nothing like the comradery of a hunt with dad. I remember mine with fond memories. Also, the fishing trips, my dad was also an avid fisherman.

I will echo post # 7; thanks for sharing and bringing back my memories of those great days I spent with my dad who passed in 1987.

PS: Sometimes I take a whiff of Hoppe's just to recall those days watching dad clean his rifles.

Given the size and fur on those dogs and the cat you must have a pretty good rodent population there. Nice and going with dad, well that's just priceless.

Speaking of, I think I'll go call mine and wish him green beer day.

Glad your dad is still out there. You are blessed. Lost my dad last year. He was my hunting, shooting, and reloading partner. Enjoy your experiences with him every day! May God give you many more.
