Man, I'd soak all that cold up with a smile just to spend a couple days out on your trapline, Cal!

Planes fly into Gillette every day.

Yeah, right! On days the wind don't blow. HA! Did Huber ever tell you about when I flew into Grand Rapids or Cedar Rapids or whatever it's called? They tried to land three times and turned around and went back to Denver where I slept on the floor all night. And the word, "slept" is extremely misleading.
But, really? How big a town IS Gillette? These are Jets that are landing every day? Just kidding.
Good hunting. El Bee

A withering metropolis of 30000 LB. and fading fast. Coal, oil, and gas, are dying fast and dragging Wyoming with them. Everybody and everything is being cut at alarming rates. Even the coyote hunting budget of state money is shrinking away. Good chance of being out of work in the next year or two, but on the bright side, I'm not yet. And a lot of people are.

Cal, I was wondering how things were going with all the lay-offs?
Are people moving out or are they trying to find other work?

Unfortunate, Cal. I am not up to speed on Wyoming, at all. What Democrat policy is responsible for all the economic downturn?
30,000, huh? I live in a moderately small suburb here in The Land of The Fruits and the Nuts. It's a bedroom community of less than 80,000 surrounded by cities that are closer to 200,000. It's not a bad little town, as things go, here.
Now, we have an airport, general aviation including a few business jets, but no 727's. Ontario International is less than ten miles south so I don't have to go into LAX to hop a plane for Hawaii. Or, Gillette.
Good hunting. El Bee

I have a 222 magnum that is a solid killer. It only moves a bullet a little faster than a 223. But I also used a 222 back in the good old days that killed coyotes and bobcats stony dead. IMO bullet selection is the key. In both my 222 mag and my 222 I used a 50 grain Sierra Spitzer Blitz projectile. It's a highly frangible bullet that can't be used at 22-250 velocities.
In 2 partial days hunting I killed 12 coyotes with the 222 mag with no spinners or runners. My 223 AI is also a stone cold killer. I presently use a 50 grain V Max bullet but am looking to change to a 52 grain Berger MV.
If I could only use one cartridge, tho, it'd be a 22-250 or a 220 Swift.
