I kind of enjoyed the little contest that Varmit Hunter Started up. I really enjoyed reading the responses.
So when I screwed up Fathers day for this little dog this morning, it came to my mind that I ought to do something along the same lines.
But I don't have a fancy set of scales, and I don't have anything I feel like giving away.
But I have a range finder, and I ranged this little coyote before I touched the trigger.
So here's the deal, who ever can come closest to the exact yardage that the 162 grain Amax had to travel, I'll donate $10 to the Predator Callers Hall of Fame in your name.
Three days is long enough, I'll post the range and winner Wednesday night.

SinceI know you are a very good marksman, since it had to be far enough away that you thought you were making a head shot when you shot it in the ass, since you would be able to tell the difference at less than 500 yards, I'll take that number. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Well I'd like to guess 212 yds... but I know from reading Q's stories... you guys don't bother rangefinding "close ones" like that.
I'll stick to my algorithimic method of picking numbers... and say;
313 Final answer.

Rich,
I didn't shoot him in the ass. That would be the exit wound.
I thought about making up a neat story to go along with it about how I was out working for Uncle Sammy and I found him putting the stalk on a bunch of Lambs. So I turned the Airdork nation loose to toll him back for a quick clean kill.
But I decided if some one wants to get filled with crap they can go to a different board.
Truth is, we both showed up in the same general area looking for Jack Rabbits. I just happened to spot him before he spotted me. ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

Remember his previous signature? If I kill him at 1500 yards, will you go get him? (something like that?)
Maybe he did?

Don't worry Leonard, My record for a coyote kill is just under 900 yards. This coyote didn't set any records. He just stood still for too long.
Does that help narrow it down for you ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

Tim, and others that may know. Where did this term "tolling dog" come from? I have been around decoy dogs or denning dogs a long time but until black board reading had never heard of a "tolling" dog. It may just be something different up here or I just missed something along the way. Just one of those curiosity deals.

Good question Cal. Best as I can determine, it is apparently a highly trained dog that charges for a service, privilege, or a tax and then rings a bell?

Cal- I believe the term came from Nova Scotia. There is a waterfowling dog that is called a Nova Scotia duck toller. They are red in color and about the size of a fox. Apparently, they run around on the bank of a lake and swim around the edges. The ducks would come over to investigate probably thinking a fox was going to get their nest or ducklings. When the ducks got in range the hunters would shoot them. I know this sounds unbelieveable but look them up. That's my best guess.

When I first hear it, I had wondered about the term tolling dogs, so I looked up the word tolling in the online dictionary.
Here's what it says;
Main Entry 3: toll
Variant(s): or tole /'tOl/
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): tolled or toled; toll·ing or tol·ing
Etymology: Middle English tollen, tolen; akin to Old English fortyllan to seduce
1 : ALLURE, ENTICE
2 a : to entice (game) to approach b : to attract (fish) with scattered bait c : to lead or attract (domestic animals) to a desired point
Apparently it goes back a long ways.

Tell you a little story. Tim and I was out last fall, and he brought "THE GUN" with him. I bitched and moaned because it is not trailer mounted, and barely fit in my Suburban. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) He said he had to shoot up 20 rounds to reload for a match the following weekend. I am here to tell ya, he can flat shoot that gun. Hell, it takes a round the size of "Heinz Katcup Bottle".
I would point out a rock, I mean, waaaayyyyy out there, and tell him to hit it. He didn't miss one single shot. He was shooting like 700 to 1000 yards with that THING. And since he is going to "Pony Up" some money to the Hall of Fame, I will not venture a guess.

Take care.

Cal,
I don't know where they came up with those weird answers. But I have been in the company of what I'm told are the best tolling dogs ever produced.
Tolling dogs are nothing more than Airdorks allowed to run amuck. They love to jump on your rifle and scope with muddy wet feet, slobber on your neck between stands, because they are too valuable to ride in a dog box, And will chase after anything that runs from them. Including, but not limited to horses, cattle, deer, rabbits, javalina and coyotes. They'll run them plumb out of sight and ignore all of your pleading to return until they have run them at least a mile.
You should buy a couple, they will save you a ton of money wasted on ammo each year.
Edit:
I forgot to mention, they also understand English. All you have to do is tell them what you want to hunt each morning, Coyotes, Lions or Bear, and they will understand and hunt only that. Each with about equal success.
