No crap. That's one big Hombre! I think I've only seen one that big around here. He was chasing a roadrunner!

Keep in mind its on a smaller 4wheeler (honda 300) and the 22-250 has a 22'' barrel! lol. Seriously I think its just how I took the pic cuz really its just an average size Yote.

I just had the greatest idea...................I will find some jobs to bid that are near some prime hunting areas, and tell my boss i need to do a site visit to get a better "feel" for the job. GENIUS!!Im a quote guy also. I have mirrors covered with them. Vinyl on the walls and tons on my phone and in files. Ill start posting a gooden' a day.

I've tried this. It was hard to talk the boss into letting me go to the mountains to look at a refrigeration job.

I just heard there's a big job comming up between Paulina and Burns?? Pick me up on the way by, I can take notes for ya.
Or... You can find a good one thats t&m not to exceed ( enter amount here) and start setting trail cams like a guy I know......
Once a week I would haul ass in the mule and swap sd cards on my break. Just about got d17 figured out.

That trip is coming up soon. As soon as the gates are open at Steens, I need to go and try to find my spotting scope. It's not a high dollar unit, but it is the only one i have. It was priceless as my brother and I were packing up to hike out at night and realized that I had set my scope and tripod on a rock when we were taking a rest. Shame on me for not putting it in my bag.
Any serious job related trip may need a photographer and a navigator as well. "Who are all these people on your expense report? do they work for us?"
So what do you do with them, anyways?
I don't have livestock, we don't have wolves, I don't live in a area where the coyote populations are big enough to be a nuisance and I'm not going to eat one, so I've had no reason to hunt them.
I understand the need to deal with nuisance and threat animals and the need to control the populations.
What makes me curious is when I see a comment like yours or the other day when I saw a truck from Idaho with a "Smoke a pack a day" sticker. Makes it seem like coyotes and wolves in general are just pests that need to be eradicated.
It's just me mulling it over for my personal satisfaction, so I'm not looking to get in on the deabte about whether to hunt them or not, just curious to hear a view from that side.

last guy to touch the job gets the blame. if it goes good, it must have been a great bid.Then us poor field guys walk onto a job thats already out of hours.
