A recently widowed woman I know is selling off some guns. Among the collection is a .22 hornet. I think this would be a great fox gun. I have done some reading elsewhere and it seems like it should fit the bill for fox and other varmints.
Basically, I guess we are always looking for a fur-friendly gun and when it comes to fox, not much to chose from that has a reasonable range without making a mess.
For those have taken fox with the .22 hornet, what gr. bullet are you shooting, at what velocities and at what range is pelt damage reasonable?
Thanks

In addition to those mentioned above, I like the E.L.K. Howler and Power Howler. Both provide very good howling sounds.

I have 2 Burris Signature Select 4-16x w/ the Ballisti- plex recticle. I think they are great scopes. Clear from edge to edge and I like the Ballisti- Plex reticle. The BDC is almost right on for the loads I shoot (.22-250 and .270).
For the price and quality Burris is hard to beat. Also, made in USA.
I can PM you more info.

I am looking forward to hearing more about this. I have had the same reaction several times. Started howling (power howler by E.L.K.) had a bunch howling back at me, then went to a rabbit distress and nothing not even a bark, yip etc.

Akona, see my previous post.
If the EU and other markets require the US to develop a BMP process in order to sell our furs, and we dont, then what happens? Unless there are some loop holes that no one has discussed, seems that BMPs are a neccessary evil.
So Akona, whats the answer as far as international trade is concerned?

Akona, you have made references in seveal posts that you possess some unique inside knowledge of the world of international trade.
Please, share with us what exactly you do, so we can understand your credentials and, then, enlighten us abut the effects of BMP on international trade. I think it would be a helpful adjunct of the discussion. Thanks

Stef
I had not heard of the Braun trap prior to seeing on Terry's website.
Do you know anything about the history of the trap or original company?

Running a trapline with sled dogs sounds great... a brief return to better days.

Hey Musher...glad to hear things are going OK with your thumb. I have seen alot of minor cuts and punctures turn into devastating wounds. all depends what kind of bacteria get a foothold. sounds like you did all the right things.
Some people in this country want a Candanian-style healthcare system. LMAO.. Yeah...'nuff siad.
PM me if anything changes

My advice is to see an orthopedic doc that specializes in hand sugery. You'll be up chit-creek if the joint capsule has been injured or comprimised. Very likely that there is ligamentous injury and that could really reduce the longterm use of your thumb.
Look, the opposable thumb is what separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom. If your thumb gets infected or the joint capsule and/or neurovascular bundle is injured you could lose that thumb. After about 8 hours, it is unwise to close any wound...during that time it has gotten colonized by bacteria. I would not, absolutely would not, put any staples into it.

might just be be bile-stained...depending on how sick he was....fast transit time through the intestinal tract. In general, bile salts give poop it's color.

Maybe we have beaten this thread to death..but I'll try one more time.
For those of you that have neck snared deer, during trapping season, do you think the loop size as it directly relates to cable type and loop shape, influences the incident of neck snaring a deer.
7x7 - teardrop shaped loop - larger top to bottom dimension vs. 1 x19 rounder loop

Points well taken...always willing to learn something new from those with more experience.
do you think the shape of the loop matters...i.e., teardrop vs round. See where I am going with this (7x7 vs 1 x19)??
Thanks
Randy

Dwaine, thanks for the info.
We're discussing trapping seasons; fall/winter...not ADC work..as I have previously clarified. Not worried about fawns and not discussing crawl-unders that deer use. I am sure that most snares set on games trails, targeting K9 (coyotes specifically) get ungulates by the leg...thats basically what this thread is about. BAD's and leg-snared deer.

So, back to the guts of the question, and in order to sumamrize the experience that's posted here: "whats the best BAD for relaeasing deer but holding coyotes?"
1. I am I correct in summarizing that I neck snared deer is in big trouble regardless of the BAD that's used...let's say anything with breakway poundage of 250 on up? deer will die, coyote will die?
2. neck snared and leg snared ungulates are totally different, in terms of force they can exhert to escape? most BADs will likely release a leg caught deer?
3. I dont see any consensus on they type of BAD (j-hook, release ferrule, break way cam lock ect) in tems of real efficacy?
4. take home message: avoid situtations where neck snaring deer is likely - high fences with crawl unders?
What else would you all add to this summary?
Thanks
Randy
