Don't want to loose this one!

hey
How easy is it to swing a gun when it has a bi-pod?
I want one but don't know if I can move it easy.

Amatuerfoxhunter,
You can get bipods that have a swivel built into them. This gives you "some" ability to swing for a shot. I do believe it would be difficult to swing very far one way or the other though, that is what is keeping me from putting one on my rifle. Hopefully, some folks with experience using one will reply.

A shooting stick may be more versatile for what you are wanting.

hey
For the bipod, what options should be on it? What way should it fold? how long for the sitting position and how long for the prone position? also any other options will help. Same thing for the shooting sticks. How long?
Thanks for the help?

Depends on how tall you are. Check the Harris bipods and Stoney Point shooting sticks. I use the Pole-Cat and love them.

VarmintAl's hunting page has a neat little do it yourself job.

Yes, give Al's page a try for your sticks. I made myself some two years ago. I'm still using them.

so what do you guys recomend as far as rifles??lots of replies please

JDB,
A good .223 Remington with 50-55 grain bullets will make a dandy calling rifle. Back in the thick stuff, a twelve gauge shotgun loaded with BB's or #4 BUCK will fill the bill very nicely.

243 or 12 ga for here in the east. Those would be my choices.

I stick with my 12 gauge here in Eastern Tennessee. Every once in awhile I'll use my 7mm just so it doesn't feel left out.

I will put my vote in for the .223 cal for a rifle here in the East. Im an Ar man but any .223 cal will work well in the East. I spend alot of time packen the 12 Gage here to. Just depends on the cover in the area im hunten.

i like the 223, triple duce, 204 ruger, and 243 all in bolt action and if i feel shots are going to be close i use a 32-20

i didn't see anything about people useing fox tails as decoys maybe i just missed it yet i find these to work nice as a fox will see it and come in quicker thinking it is safe and a coyote will come in to fight. it also makes it nice when useing a fox pup call

JDB, I prefer a .17 Rem or .221 fireball for populated areas to keep the noise down. .223 is an excellent all around cartridge and I think the AR system is probably the best all around rifle package for predator hunting there is.
