No PayPal here either, but I do have a checking account.

Thanks to all that have kept this forum up and going.

I have been gone and missed the deadline, so if I can hunt Colorado this year will look at 3rd season OTC bull tag.

6:30AM in Dodge and the full moon is just setting on the west horizon.

Rick, thanks for the info.

Tomorrow is Palm Sunday and many of you may have Easter programs that you will be attending during the next week. I take this time to reflect on all that has been done on my behalf by my Lord Jesus. I cannot go by this cross in my pasture without singing "The Old Rugged Cross".

1.   On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
   the emblem of suffering and shame;
   and I love that old cross where the dearest and best
   for a world of lost sinners was slain.
Refrain:
   So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
   till my trophies at last I lay down;
   I will cling to the old rugged cross,
   and exchange it some day for a crown.

2.   O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
   has a wondrous attraction for me;
   for the dear Lamb of God left his glory above
   to bear it to dark Calvary.
   (Refrain)

3.   In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
   a wondrous beauty I see,
   for 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
   to pardon and sanctify me.
   (Refrain)

4.   To that old rugged cross I will ever be true,
   its shame and reproach gladly bear;
   then he'll call me some day to my home far away,
   where his glory forever I'll share.
   (Refrain)

I wish you and yours a Blessed Easter.

I have another question for you guys about .223 in the AR.

Given a choice, which rifle would you choose?

Bushmaster Predator model PCWVMS 20FPRED8

DPMS Prairie Panther model RFA3-PPB

Rock River Predator Pursuit model AR1530X

Thanks,

Guys,

Thanks for the reports. Greg, I was just thinking of maintaining accuracy longer after multiple shots with the heavy barrel.

I have a Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24 x 40mm mil dot scope coming

I have a Tikka T3 Lite, .223, synthetic, blued barrel, new in the box. I planned to use it for my coyote rifle, but I am having second thoughts about whether I should trade it for a heavy barrel.

I am getting ready to put a scope on the rifle, but now having second thoughts. Anyone shoot the T3 Lite?

Thanks,

Congratulations Rick!

Good looking family. I added another grandson on the 1st in KCMO. Grandkids are such a blessing from Heaven.

Most of the coyotes in the area are in very good condition, but I do see one with mange occasionally.

The dog is what really puzzles me. I have no neighbors, so it is not a neighbor's dog and it has been decades since I have seen any stray dogs on my place. I am wondering if the dog is the same animal that I saw two years ago leading a pack of coyotes hunting in the pasture. The lead animal was darker and more blocky than the coyotes following. I do have an image taken with a point and shoot camera. The animal was about 750 yards away in the picture. I didn't have my binoculars with me for a good look.



Calves starting to drop, so I will be keeping a close watch.

I changed memory sticks out today on my trail cam, hoping some big bucks would have shared a pose.

There is this one of a coyote and a poor one at that.



Now this one is a puzzle-

My mother is 94 and has maclear degeneration, so I do some of her business. A change in medicines and no coverage from her drug plan caused me to call the drug plan for clarification. I have hearing problems and I get a gal that speaks English poorly and when asked her location it is overseas. I really get chapped with the customer service call centers overseas, especially since they cannot seem to find people fluent in English.

Happy Birthday!

Sweet!

Great story.

 You had a good start on your lifelong passion.

I guess I shouldn't say, "Sight unseen.", because I did have pictures, but I hadn't laid my hands on it till I picked it up from the FFL.
