First blood - not what I had hoped for

[bugboy]

Went out and tried to call coyotes tonight in order to get "first blood" for my .264 BHW. Didn't see anything on the first stand and on the second/last stand I got interrupted by a farmer checking cows.

While taking a break between stand #1 and #2 I saw some non-game/non-regulated birds (about the size of a mourning dove) sitting in a dead tree at the other end of the pond. Figured "what the hell". Put the laser rangefinder on it, 186 yds.. Put the rifle on my daypack, put the 200 yd "hash mark" (JBM says 160 yds for this load) at the base of the neck and POOF. I thought that might be a fluke so I tried it again,,,,, POOF.

I guess if I ever find a coyote and he is around 186 yds. I should be good to go.

I sure like this barrel and caliber!

That sounds like some fine shooting. It also sounds like you have you 264 LBC shooting as well.
