First off, it aint that easy to kill a bobcat! Saying that IF you were to get a shot at one, I would want more than enough gun to knock it down so ya dont loose it. .223 or 22-250. shoot deer hunting bullets ( TSX, partition, TBBC) and youll be good.

I am going out coyote hunting this weekend, If you like i will save you the hides. If i get a fox or a bob cat, I will give it to you to do as well.

I saw this rack a week or two ago at the Taxi and holy cow! the thing is amazing! It was far and away the biggest head in there!

Ill probably get in trouble for this picture, but this is a 50 NBT from my 22-250 into the last rib of a coyote at about 15-18 yards.

Hold The Phone!!!!! I didn't hear anything like that!!!!! That might equal the nationl War Debt!!! I might have to find another place in another town to eat.... now... Thanks Tim!!! For something like that I will make the trip from Tucson! Woohoo!!! Free dinner on Gino... Gino, while your at it, I could use a tank of gas too

Mike you dont want to do that! Stanley, it sounds like they probably made bad hits huh? One of the biggest myths out there is big guns make up for bad hits. Granted, they do provide a larger amount of room for error, but a gut shot deer, is a gut shot deer, no matter what gun it is shot with, ya dig? PS. 270, 270 wsm, 7 mag, 7 STW, 7 RUM are the best!

Scott, sadly if you initiated a gunfight while they are walking away you would be going to jail for murder.

So, if I wanted to keep just the tail alone, what are the steps to keeping it preserved? I order a tail stripper, what should I put on the inside of the tail to keep it good? alum? salt?

That is why most of us carry hand guns down there. I never go down there with out mine. Even when I have my rifle for that exact reason. I wonder how they would have behaved if they saw you had a side arm?

What do you think is a good way to preserve a cape? I cut the tail off of the coyote I killed this morning. I rolled the tail back on itself while skinning it. I got as much of the meat out as I could. When I got all out I could, I poured a 50/50 mix of Alum/ Epsom Salt into the tail to hopefully dry all the moisture out and preserve it. What do you think that will do?

His left side is pretty grusome, I think I may get ripped for posting that picture!

Bah HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa!!!!! Now that is funny! I don't care who you are!!! BUT, I think meant to type hand Huntn coues a blow gun!! GOOD CALL MIKE!!!!! One of your best posts

If your concerned about pelts, try a TSX, trophy bonded bear claw, or partition. Ive got some partitions layin around im thinking of trying.

John Barnesness wrote a article about the VLD's stating that they penetrated a few inches, then basically "blew up" rarely exiting. Yes, causing massive internal damage. But since when is 2-3 inches of penetration enough? Sure aint enought for me! That is unless of course I keep up the brain shots! ( they work well, Gino you should try em some time!) If you would like to trust a target bullet on the marginal shots, or the close shots be my guest. They are also designed to be seated waaaayyyyy out there... Touching the lands. This may or may not turn your rifle into a single shot type gun.

Casey, I think the bottom line is that you have made up your little mind and no proof will change that. I am telling you THEY WORK!!! We are going to test them on Piggies in 2 weeks and I will give an HONEST update when get done. I would be a FOOL to use a product that does not perform as I would have hoped. If you talk to the people at or around Berger Bullets they will tell you that they developed a target bullet that has proven to be an excelent hunting bullet as well! Tim was looking for constructive Proof of good or bad, not the gut fellings of nay-sayers! And when and if Doug is kind enough to share his points of view on these bullets I am sure we will all grow from that solid information. However me... being the guy that I am.... will take the proof that 2 little girls gave me over the harsh down talk of a guy that has thrown 11 bullets at the last two deer that he has shot at. Peace-Out!!!!! Alright Gino, If I remeber correctly, you were no one shot wonder with your last buck correct? Of course the guys at Berger say their bullets are the best, what kind of marketing would it be if they didn't believe in their own stuff?

I shoot a Nosler Ballistic Tip through my 22-250.

You should see the picture messages he sends me.... -34 degrees. thats enough to make any sane person want to move back!

gino, just because you are 2/2 doesnt mean anything. that is a tiny sample size. bottom line is they are TARGET bullets! If Redrabbit decideds not to use them on a COUES because they are target bullets, thats gotta say something.

Dude that 115" has some SERIOUS mass! How about some more pictures of it?!

I'm more in line with your thinking on this... hope it works out Word up. Dont think theres any way Shaq can hang. He is old and crusty... Kind like Lark

30? Holy cow man, I dont know if I can hang out with you anymore.. your a little old for me to be seen in public with ya

No. just dont understand why people use Match bullets for hunting. Have read way to many stories about game lost with target bullets.

Bla Bla Bla...... What box have you been living in..... .... Oh I for got.... You don't read well... my bad... You could buy the BTW video, Casey... I have one I'll sell or Rent to you so you can make an educated judgement.... There are PLENTY of Dead critters to prove that the VLD's are not just for punching paper..... There are also pleny of animals that were not recovered because they were shot with a target bullet. But of course, none of that comes to mind does it?

Gino, there not a whole lot of difference in wind drift with the 270 wsm than any 300. The 140 Accubond has a Bc of .496... not bad.
