That sounds like an Excellent way to bring in the New Year . I need to break out my 76 and blow the dust out of it . I haven't shot it since I put the Rocky Mountain Front Sight on it . Don't know how it shoots ,but damn it looks Great .

Thanks Dusty, we are heading over by Lake Livingston, Onalaska, first then probably poke around too some state parks and wait for it to warm up in MN.

great picture. nice kill on the yote dog. i hope to get a pile of them trapping this year. there is a pretty good market for catching live unharmed coyotes. i'm geared up for just trying to get my foot  in the door

Looking at that photo reminds me of a Country song I've got a tiger by the tail . 

[buckskin billy]

i'd say i would want that feller on my side when things go bad. yeah alive, thats what "they " do with them is hound training. we catch the coyote in snare traps. we double swivle them and put whats called a whammy on them. a little spring. that lets the snare losen up when the coyote aint pulling on them. the last quote i was given was 75 bucks per coyote. me and my trapping pard been dealing with a feller who wants to buy from us but we aint got nothing nailed down solid yet

Sure would like to have one of those Mt. Lions on my wall . Taken with a 76 from down in Texas . A Vintage Hunters dream .

Dusty
Hows the weather down there . We have actually had a little winter this year . I got my Lucky lotto ticket for tonight . That way we can start the hunt of a life time . We will do a Lonesome Dove hunt from Texas to Montana ,what ya think . We better start getting in shape now , that will be a lot of walking . We might want to get a few mules for the Mountains . You know a trip like that we will need a good camp Cook and Chuck Wagon .

[dusty texian]

Rowdy ,the weather has been cold, and hot, wet, and dry,normal for Texas. Does look like Y'all are gettin some winter up there. Dont know how our friends way up there do it ,all that dang snow ,I'm ready to start that dream hunt ,I'll get in shape on the way..........Dusty.

Do I see a new handle coming on      "Famous Shoes"

We have 2 Hunters , now we need a good Cook ( Where's Del ) and a chuck wagon . Now we will need a few hounds to track the Mt. Lions . Now if we can travel 25 miles a day we can make it in 100 days . Can you be off from your family for a 100 days . Wonder
what kind of adventure we could get into on a trip like this . Now , if we went to San Antonio to find a cook and whacked a silly bar tender threw our shot glass up in the air and shot it , what would be the chance of getting out of town that same day . 

[dusty texian]

Rowdy we could probably find a belly- cheater in Sanantonio,but you caint slap bartenders anymore ,they got rights now. Shooting up the place wont raise an eybrow that happens every day now .....Dusty

Have you ever cooked Mt. Lion ?? I found a conversation on the cooking part of cascity about eating mt. lion . I guess it would make pretty good jerky being a lean meat . I read about Ben Lilly and it talked about him eating mt. lion ?
Well Coyote hunting is in , have worked with a new howler  ,and a few predator calls . Trying to get as light as possible considering I sometime carry my 76 . Working on having a possible bag to carry all calls ,and basic hunting gear . I carry my pistol the majority of the time . If I could get one close enough to take with a pistol that would be a trophy in my book . I guess I could call it The Book of Rowdy , the Guide to the Vintage Hunter .

Rowdy:
Couldn't help but note your question about eating Mtn Lion. 
It is a pale meat sort of looks like roast pork and has a taste of sort of like a blend of roast pork and roast chicken.  I have had the pleasure of dining on it once or twice and it ain't bad a'tall.  So if you get a chance try it.  It is an experience you won't forget--that is if it is cooked right!
