    Hunting & Fishing What do coyotes 'like' hearing this time of year?

    Down here in the southwest rabbit in distress works great. Also because a lot of baby rabbits are around and easy for them to catch in the morning. And in the morning is the best down here for the rabbit squeal. Good luck man.

    Can someone explain why my dirty barrel shoots better?

    Oh food for thought why I do put rounds through it before I take it out is because the shots we take are about 300 to 750yds so It does make a it a bit of a problem after 500yds with a clean barrel.

    Gunsmithing Why is re barreling so expensive?

    I'm not a gunsmith but, I try to tell my customers cost of fuel, materials,wear and tear on my truck machines and other tools, my cut for doing the work, taxes bla bla blaaa. The dollar don't go far nowadays. Hard to make easy to spend. If he is good, it's piece of mind. Jmo
