Don't know about sambar but on elk go for the gusto.Penetration is what you want.I would max out a heave bullet with the most powder it would shoot accurately.Forget sabots.go for the big hole,and more weight.I have seen a few hollow points fail to penetrate very deep.
I blast more than a pickup load every year.I have no problem killing them, but torture is a little different. I don't think I would take to kindly to some one dragging a gut hooked coyote.They are an intelligent Wiley opponent and deserve more respect than that.
Sorry to hear about your dog. Like some of the others most of my experience is bird dogs.the only time I have seen dogs kill each other is from different kennels.
2 Alfa dominant males got thrown together and left unattended for about an hour it was a mess one died from infection.

After hunting the desert for a while you learn to walk a wide path around the cholla.they have little balls about the size of your thumb with several spines poking every direction that drop off and end up on the toe of your boot, within a step or two it will be embedded in your opposite...
I can list a few critters I have seen rolled of a bed to, but the way deer and elk lay their bones often cover part of their vitals and the bone can deflect a bullet or arrow.there are more obstructions near the ground you may not see like sticks and rocks. its a lot easer to get close and get...
Its not in my nature to let a wounded animal suffer any longer than necessary.nor would I spoil meat I did not have to.
There Are 3 ways to kill Quickly.The BBB if you will.Breath, blood, and brain.The lungs are the slowest then the heart, then the brain being the fastest.
Head shots are the...
I have been hearing nothing but good on the spot hog and will probably get one soon For my Diamond back.My nitro has an old Cobra I don't even remember the Model But its all steel and aluminum except the pins are brass.No plastic I wish I had another just like it but It must be discontinued.
Well I have been bow hunting for for 20 plus years and have a slightly different take on this.I don't mind what other hunters use so why should they mind my 80% let off. ya I shoot sticks to but I still like my compound.
And their's a big deference between an arrow at 300 fps. and a bullet at...
Pawclaws WOW whats all that stuff weigh?Sounds heavy.You must be the ultimate boy scout, or went to the same pack class as my cousin.I guess theirs nothing wrong with all that stuff if you can carrier it.You have some relay good info there.I pack a little lighter than that.I like an external...
I have seen the 17 Remington (and its a lot bigger than the HMR) on several coyote. thats why I like 22-250,or 243win..If it's not fur season.6mm,or.243 is the way to go with 80gr soft points.big holes
Thats a good one all right congrats to your buddy I hunt just a Little north of there.I have seen some good ones this year.I'm hopping I get to measure one thats hanging out just a Little closer to the Tucson area.Got his Little brother just after Christmas.But its a new year and a new tag now
Barrels serve two purposes keep the bullet in a straight line. and lengthen the expansion chamber.IE give the powder time to burn and expand. pushing the bullet faster and giving it more energy.
The 260 is not a serious OVER BORE cal.OVER BORE being more powder than can be burnt .300 Rem ultra...
their is an old myth that round nose bullets especially heavy ones bust through brush better than fast pointy ones.Fact is if you shoot through trees don't expect the bullet to stay on coarse or intact.No matter what you shoot.Get a clear shot,or don't shoot.
The E-Trex is all a hunter needs.there are units out there that do more but who needs a map of LA when your hunting in Montana. The more satellites they can access the more accurate they are but the E-Trex will get you close enough.and still remember your way back.

May be some one should put a camera in a radio controlled air plane and do recon.so you don't wast time were there ain't no coyotes.
GET a patten on that baby and make a fortune.
