Just signed up for the 2016 Convention! I haven't had a chance to hunt any this year yet between lack of time and my Jeep needing work, so I've not had a chance to really learn the area. Hoping this year I'll bag my first coyote! Looking forward to seeing everyone here in Tucson in a few months!

If you'd have just shot that one that I didn't see, now you'd be looking to bag your 2nd

You can do it! See ya then!

Got this on yesterday while out. We're spending a couple months out here this year snow birding Indiana weather. So there around!

that ammo holder on the forearm is a cool idea.

Congrats viper.....I too shoot an encore. I have 3 Contenders as well. That ammo holder is pretty sweet. Did you make that?

No my wife Kathy did! It holds 10 rounds and she got some 2" and 1" elastic. She made me two so I also drop one in my pocket. It stop them from rattling around when I move. And the one on the gun makes for faster reloading.

If you ever want a custom barrel made, I can not say enough about the Bull Berry barrels. Takes about 4 months to make to your specs. I sent them the forearm and they installed their hanging bracket. Very nice people!

That is a short sucker. How long is it?

16.25"

That's a sweet setup Viper! I have a 16.25 factory 223 barrel on a Contender carbine that I love. Although these days I use my Pro Hunter Encore 26inch most of the time.

Hey viper, since you're already out here if you want an extra set of eyes let me know.

Gotta get my new optics sighted in this week before the convention...

Well had a nice surprise come in this morning just after daylight. So there is a few of these running around out here too!

Good job!!

Nice cat!

Chris K. I would but that means I would have to leave my wife at trailer and she would shoot me! She loves going!!

Well we can't have that!

Nice cat! I'm dyin' to get one of those.....well done.

Congratulations Viper!

Bobcats are nuisance wildlife in Tucson and the city folk there need lots of help!

There are 9 species of predators and furbearers near Tucson. Where there are rocks, there are many fox, and they are very attracted to fox sounds. Would love to see you get at least a trifecta (coyote, bobcat, AZ grey fox) before returning to Indiana.

Me too👍

Viper look for me wed night if your still wanting to go out let me know

Saw 6 today got this one and missed one. Switched the T/C hornet to the AR-15

Nice work!

Awesome!

First day of hunting for me in Tucson, started out yesterday but the truck deçided it didn't need a brake pad so I spent yesterday morning installing brake pads in the front end.

I only made four stands but called in a nice dark female. She hung up at about sixty yards, I could see her legs and her tail swish back and forth. I couldn't get enough of her in the scope to use the rifle barrel, so switched sounds to mouse distress she booked on in and when she got àlmost to the caller ( 30 long paces ) I dropped her with àn ounce of NP BB's from the 16 ga barrel. I skinned her out, fleshed ànd put her on a boat before we left the spot.

The sun had gone behind the mountain not dusk but rather darker than in the afternoon, on the way out saw a deer, herds of jackrabbits running in front of the truck and a bobcat ran across the road about a mile from where I got the coyot

Well, I done done it now... hurt my foot last week and it hasn't healed back up yet. I get to work at 8 AM and by 9:30 I have to sit down to rest it. I don't see traipsing around the desert being a good idea until my foot is healed up. Still looking forward to the festivities, but likely won't get out to hunt this year.

Well that's a bummer.
