I was going to make a run up there to shoot them all (like that would happen!) before you guys get here.....but decided to go coyote calling in CO this weekend due to rancher calling and saying come down & shoot the ones that moved in after we removed the last 8 from the ranches.
I hope its nice next week as its been windy/raining here on & off the last 2 days.
This is one of the better hills to shoot them from. Oh and smack the yucca plants or any other shrub you lay next to, to insure there aint no rattler sunning by it. The windmill just above my sons head is about 1/3 mile away.
In case you want to see what we did last time there look at the slideshow. You may have seen it last year or longer ago.

Good luck boys. All the big Towns in NE Colorado, NW Kansas, I used to shoot have been either wiped out by the plague or poisoned by the ranchers.
5spd, how do you get those pics like that. would love to do something like that..
12 LRP .204, 200 .243 project rifle. (action), 116 SS action, 200 270
My son took them w/ his Nikon digital professional camera using the burst feature. He has a nice outfit and has a telephoto attachment on it. Those shots are all at 350-425 yds. Then putting them together in a slide show in photobucket after I resized them under photoshop.Originally Posted by 87predator
Still holding out hope to be able to grab you on they on the way on Thurs !!!
That slide show it GREAT !!!
That slide show is awesome. Looking forward to seeing the action first hand.
Glad you mentioned the rattlers, forgot all about them being out there. Here in the midwest they are not something I think about bumping into unless very near a quarry. I can deal with most any animal, but I hate snakes.

My pal may go with you guys as I told him about you 2. He knows the spot as well as I do since we shot there many, many times over the years.
He will let me know for sure by Wednesday eve.
If so Ill give your cell # to him to give you a yell.
sounds good
Two more days until I depart. I hope I'll be able to sleep at night until then. ;D
I was wondering about something today though. I live at about 700ft above sea-level, and this area is about 6000ft above sea-level. What is that going to do to my trajectories? I would imagine that my bullet will strike a fair amount above my POA when scopes are zero'ed out here at 700ft. ???

Go to this site and plug in your data at the elevation you are sighted in at. Run a second set and change the elevation to where you will be shooting. Then compare the POI.

LOL !!! thanks.
Already made cheater cards from JBM.....in large font ('cause I'm old and blind)
When in Colorado make sure to check out the bass pro Shop outside of Denver to view (not shoot) these teaser targets. Between I-70 and the store 2 years ago. I posted these on another site but thought you might like them also.
12 hrs and counting
Sure hope I can sleep tonite, 13-14 hours in the car will be tough if I don't

Well I made it out, thank God for XM Radio free trial. I'd have been so bored without the comedy channels. Now just gotta relax and sleep ::) so I can meet up with the guys in the AM.
Can't believe how many Antelope I saw on the way in. I may have to save up and try to come out for one of those also someday.

We survived...barely.
