I'm not saying that I have more money than common sense, I do understand where you're coming from. I'm not trying to start an argument over this Furhunter. And I fully agree with you that $3.50 a shot is expensive, and could/will get costly. I think you're missing my point. I was asking for suggestions of other loads that you guys have had good success with. Not what is your opinion on the price of Dead Coyote loads. It's not set in stone that I'm going to use the most expensive loads I can find. Yes, the loads I listed were all on the more expensive side. But that doesn't necessarily mean I'm going to hunt with them. I'm going to try alot of different loads with alot of different prices associated with them and see which gives the best pattern in my gun. Hopefully a cheaper load will work best in my gun, but if it doesn't and a more expensive load out performs, then that's is what I will use. It's not the fact that if I shoot a coyote twice with a $3.50 load, that I'm losing money. It's the fact that if a $3.50 load is what performs the best in my gun, and will do an ethical job on a coyote at 40 yds, then I am willing pay that price! I don't hunt to make money from furs. If that was the case, then I'd have gone out of business along time ago! Hunting is my hobby, and I do it for the fun and enjoyment. What little money I make at the end of the year from furs is just a bonus to all the joys I already got from hunting that year. There's no possible way any of us could ever make more from hunting, than what we invest into it. We don't compare the price of fur to the vehicle we drive to our stand, the guns we hunt with, the endless amount of money we spend on calls, camo, gas, food, or the labor hours we spend in the woods. So if a $3.50 load performs best in my gun, then that is what I'm going to use. I'd rather say this coyote cost me an extra $7.00, than to say I wounded one and it got away, but it only cost me $1.25 to do it.
WHOAAA easy there big fella, I meant that as more of a joke than anything. I should have put a
behind it so you didnt take it so bad.
You can spend 5 bucks a shot for all I care, as long as they are takin a dirt nap, and you had a good day....who cares!
