Well the winds were just absolutely Howling today so no Crappie fishing so.....I did some hydro dipping
Since Fur Bearer Season / Coyote hunting will soon occupy most of my time. I decided to do some hydro dipping today. Some may remember my 25cal AR I built and then hydro dipped in a marsh grass pattern from late winter last year. Well I got a new pattern in earlier this year that I have been wanting to use on one of my long range bolt rifles.
I usually use my 25AR for yotes but there is a time and place to unlimber the heavy barrel 25-06. I hand load for almost everything and its a heavy hitter. Tipped with Speer 87gr TNT's and its not a pelt gun. Bucks the wind very well. Plus almost always when you call in a pair or more and after you take your first shot, the others will run out there a few hundred yds and stop to look back giving you another long range shot on the second one...perfect for this gun.
This patten is called ATACS and you will more than likely be seeing it more and more. I really does a blend very well. You can change the base coat to suit the major terrain color tone. I chose a light tan because of the dead grass colors I find here even in the dead of winter.
The shotgun is an earlier ATACS dip I did. I used a different base and you can see the difference. I usually transport the 25AR, 25-06, & 12ga and use which ever one best suits the given terrain I am working and calling.
So far everything has held up well to wear and tear that I dipped earlier and have been using.
