A little movie showing the 97D Rifle on a Prairie Dog shooting trip. Staring Ricky Williams as the varmint hunter. Filmed and narrated by Eben Brown.

ive been hunting coyotes for a long time now. at first i just shot them with a rifle, but after awhile it got kind of boring so i started using a crossbow of my buddies. i eventually bought a compound bow and was using that for awhile. than i started trapping them, hunting them with dogs etc.

its exhilarating, and ive ever since evolved from that rifle. currently i have some farm rabbits i keep caged in my shed, and whenever i go hunting, i bring one with me in a cage. i like to break one of their legs, or put a pin through their nose that i can tug on with a string. i bring it with me hunting because its cries are far more realistic than my predator call. occasionally i bring gas and matches if they need extra encouragement. DONT WORRY- i always bring my tire iron to put them out of their misery after the hunt, unless they die from shock during the hunt.

anyways, i recently got my hands on a flammenwerfer 35 from some contacts of mine, and was considering using it hunting coyotes. i hear they have some distance and would at least be able to replace the use of a shotgun on one of my hunts. do you guys think it would work? i think ill try it out on at least one coyote to decide its effectiveness.

what methods do you guys use to kill coyotes? what is your favorite? please share.
i am not "warped", and this is a legitimate question.

Learn how to reload ammunition for rifles. Instruction video in hand loading rifle cartridges, which gives you the shooters, more accurate loads, in tailoring it to your rifle. And as an extra bonus it is saving the shooter, considerable money. In precision shooting, hunting rifles, target rifles, varmint rifles, tactical rifles, and bench rest rifles, hand loads are used exclusively for highest accuracy in competition. Custom made reloading dies by gunsmiths or hand dies from LE Wilson are mostly used. Reloading cartridges gives you flexibility in powder charge and selection of quality bullets, powder and primers,for your rifle, thus improving accuracy. Good reloding manual is a must to have, Sierra, Hornady,Nosler, Vihtavuori, Norma, and others publish very good reloading manuals.

I’m making a selection for a predator hunting rifle for wolves, coyotes, cougars, etc out too 250 yards or so and have narrowed it down to the savage 12 varminter series in .22-250 or the howa m-1500 varminter in .22-250 and also the bushmaster .223 varminter rifle. I’m simply looking for performance in a predatr hunting rifle. Let me know which one you would choose, much appreciated!

Got a new varmint rifle! Fulton Armory custom shop .223 with Miculek compensator. I added a 4-14x scope and a bipod, and took it out today to sight it in at 200 yards. (I'm going to use it in a local 3-gun competition where I'll need to consistently be able to knock over bowling pins at 200 yards with it.)

I am mainly a deer hunter and have two deer hunting rifles. One is a bolt action savage .270 and the other a single shot H&R .243. I love to blast some predators in the offseason and am wanting to set up a rifle for predator hunting. ( just camo and a bipod and such..) I dont care too much about the size of hole in the hides cuz most coyotes round here got mange and if i do shoot a pretty one i just tan in myself and keep it for a throw rug so i was wondering which rifle i would be better off "setting up" to hunt predators in the offseason? I am leaning towards the .243 but does the fact that its a single shot rifle take away from it??

A small 22 is an ideal Rifle for a young boys or girls. I had purchased this Ruger 22 used years ago and it has been a great Rifle for the family and I have used it quite a bit shooting varmint and it does the job.

This is a video of GARY HIGGINS playing the KEYBOARD at an Amanda Overmyer concert at theChrome Horse Saloon on June 13, 2009 in Cedar Rapids, IA before around 600 people, 150 inside and 450 outside. This was the celebration of CREST FEST in Cedar Rapids, IA celebrating a one year anniversary of the devastating FLOOD that occurred in Cedar Rapids, IA one year ago in 2008. This song called “Varmint Rifle” , and features the keyboard piano player Gary Higgins, player extraordinaire. This was …

A good Sword or blade can decapitate a horse or cow in a single strike, and a spear has range and is long enough to go through a large animal’s heart or skull. Tough Predators like Lions have claws and teeth, which is no match for an angry bull or elephant. There is no way a lion can beat those animals unless they are hunting in packs, or if the other animal was severly injured.

With a Rifle, no competition. A Bear needs to get close and personal with a moose, even then it takes minutes for the fight to end. With a Rifle, one shot and the animal is dead instantly.

This was a tough shot in very blustery conditions. The Crow was 455 yrds away and feeling pretty safe - Big mistake

Well I have purchased my 7mm Ultra Mag rem. for deer hunting , and figured it would be a little rough on my animals when doing some predator calling…haha. So now I am in need of a GOOD predator gun, I have a .243 but am looking for something that has distance, speed, and knock-down power with out blowing a huge hole in my animal because I sell their fur. I have limited it down to 3 calibers. A 22-250, .204, and .220 swift, what would you suggest? Keep in mind though I want Speed, Distance, and Knock-down power. All answers are very much aprreciated.

Thanks,
Luke

Long range shooting demonstration using The Ultimate Tripod. Through (thru) scope video showing how rigid and easy to use this rifle (shooting) rest is. For targets, varmint hunting, prairie dogs, long range deer & elk, and snipers. At 15 pounds, it is a very portable gun rest with silky smooth movement and rock steady for all shooting including 1000 yard hunting and plinking.

The gun is a sidelever .22 that screws apart into two pieces and stores in a suitcase. it has a leapers 4 x 40 red mil dot scope. i used to have a pellet gun that fired 900 fps in .22 that took out everything in my yard. i am concerned that this gun will obviously not live up to the expectations but i was told my other gun had inflated fps with light pellets.i bought more than 50 dollars worth of the most devastating hunting pellets on the market from predators to rws hollow points. i want this gun to be able to shoot faster than 500 fps..money isnt an object

heres the gun and for the record i know not all chinese guns are good but my last one was and it wrecked shit…

We shot primarily Fulton Arms and Bushmaster .223, a Remington 40x .22 BR, S&W .17 HMR and a couple of the most explosive shots were with a .300 Win Mag loaded with a 50gr Vmax sabot round@4700+ fps. The .50BMG did not see much action on this trip, maybe we will have better luck later in the season. This is the latest vid following a March 08 Ranch Trip.Please see DRTYFN’s vids for more footage of some our earlier escapades. Much of this footage was shot with a “rifle cam” mount attached to …

Hi,

I am an avid hunter in AZ, I already have a 30-06 and 2 shotguns plus a bunch of handguns. I want to add another rifle to my collection, I usually use my 30-06 for deer but I want to hunt coyote, javelina, other predators and possibly more. I am looking for a gun that is light and can be used to take all of these animals, it needs to be smaller than a 30-06 though.

These are the ones I’ve been looking at.

Marlin 30-30
Marlin .444
.243 of some sort
45-70

Please keep in mind I want a simple and light weight gun.

Thanks

The other night I shot a opossum in the chest area with a .22 cal Predator Polymag air rifle pellet… It dropped like a rock(fell over on it’s side). It seemed to have died instantly… I know head shots are quick but I think the pellet struck his heart or something because it just stopped moving,as compared to when I shot 3 pellets into the head of a opossum I got before this one… The head shot opossum before this last one I just got in the chest,fliped around like a gator doing a death role once I made contact with it’s brain… A real violent head shot death… Crazier than any other head shot experience ever… Dirt was flying everywhere… What are factors involved when figuring out which type of shot is best for that certain animal…. Heart shot or head shot???? P.S. I can make difficult shots from far out,using most guns. AR’s to pellet guns… My accuracy is on point to hit um wherever seems best…. Oh yeah just for your information: Buy a pellet gun and practice shooting inside/outside at home. It truly is great practice for when you go shooting or hunting for reals. The Daisy Powerline is an excellent air rifle with great accuracy for only .95 at Walmart. It comes with a cheesy scope but it still works great and will keep you on point just like me… Thanks for the advice and extra details in your answer…. Tim

RIght, i’m a minor, but I like fishing and hiking, and may do allitle hunting in the future. I plan on doing allot of fishing out in the middle of nowhere, and i would really like to have something other than my bowie knife in the unlikely event I’m attacked by a bear or cougar, or a predator of the 2-legged variety. I know that at 18, you can carry a rifle or shotgun, but i’m interested in a handgun, specificly a revolver. So, can I legaly carry a handgun under the age of 21 in the state of Oregon, Washington, or Idaho, or anywhere else for that matter? if so, can I legaly carry it concealed? if not, would a back pack, fannypack, or in my waistband, but I have a jacket on over it, but not trying to hide it, be considered concealed? also, can anybody tell me if theres much of a differance in acuracy between the NAA blackwidow with the 2 and 4 in. barrels? thanks.

I now wish to expand my hunting focus (which now encompasses Africa and India) to envelope the sea. I wish to hunt the giant squid.
What rifle would be a good pick? Please don’t suggest a speargun, those are intended to skewer fish, mind you, whereas the giant squid is a 60f.t.+ 8 ARMED PREDATOR that will NOT HESITATE to pull you DOWN into the DEPTHS to a watery grave!
So can you suggest to me a rifle that would addaquately to the job? By this I am refering to 3 or less shots in the body, not including a brainshot as the brain is small and will be almost impossible to hit!
I appreciate your cooperation!
