Went to school during NAM so not much experience with firearms except my High school years of hunting small game and coyotes. Finally got a degree in Biology and started teaching elementary and eventually all levels of school in a very good wildlife area. elk and deer fed us for many years. I bought an irrigated farm and the varmints and city dogs forced me to become interested In long range shooting, so I was introduced to small fast bullets with a .243. I still have it and it shoots well. My little ranch afforded a few good rope horses so I rodeo-ed ( rode Rough Stock)for seven years and quit because of injuries but continued roping. I then became a rodeo photographer for 25 years while I taught and ran the place. My knees wore out, but I could hunt horse back and that even came to an end.
All the while I would knock off coyotes when I could. I shot Cowboy action for 12 years and became so arthritic, that even came to an end. I really am not safe to handle guns quickly. I had 27 operations in 5 years and that kept me close to the house. Coyote hunting is all I do now. I have to be more careful, as I'm a little unstable, and I don't want to call for help. I found out I had leukemia last year so I not spending much on new rifles just keeping them up for the kids. My doctor thinks he can keep me active for several more years. so I will hunt till I can't .
Going in the morning.
