If you think 40 a year is a lot you are definitely a city idiot.

fur season, yeah, guy is doing more than people I know, recreational caller goes hard through fur season, no snares/trapping or truck window work, just calling for thrill with shotgun primary and fur/dollars for toy money, how many weekends for working guy through fur season? some vacation time added, still avid big game season filling draw and general tags, for a caller through fur season that's a sh1tload

30-40 a season...with a shotgun, color me impressed

Calling coyotes is done for the sport of calling coyotes. Very few can compete with a motivated trapper re numbers. Glad they’re worthless now (the coyote) as most doing it for a buck stay home. Just need a cold snap and the art of calling coyotes becomes a special moment in the field. For this city person anyways. 40 is a good year for me if the count mattered.
 
Great write-up on the Bergera.

I've been looking at one in 6.5CM in lefty, and it is good to see the accuracy you are realizing with it.

How do you like the Garmin Xero?

Any chance you’ve used it with handguns as well, or indoors?

Mine lives in the range bag, it is so small and convenient that every range trip you can throw in some Crony work with no disruption to training or practice.
 
good write up on a nice rig
light fast 6.5 in a stable platform, best to spot those errant shots, whats not to like

Last full session of coyote hunting we had a 30-06 and a 270 seeing action, they met the objective jsut fine

Sweet!! I'm using .270Win with factory Winchester 120BT's. I've never shouldered a Bergara. It looks comfortable as all get out. Let us know how it works on 'yotes.

Trigger upgrade day. The factory Bergara trigger is really the only thing I don’t like about this rifle. The factory trigger has a pretty decent break, but it is very inconsistent. And there’s lots of creep before it breaks. The pull weight varies (at the setting I have it at) between 2.9 and 3.5 pounds. And to adjust it, you need to remove the barreled action from the stock. The adjusting screw is on the side of the factory trigger(?). Who the he11 thought of that?

Anyways, I chose a Trigger Tech Special single stage with the flat shoe. I backed it off two clicks from the factory setting. It breaks at 1.9 to 2.0 pounds (on my cheap Wheeler trigger pull gauge). The break is very crisp, and there is zero creep. I have a couple of Trigger Tech’s on other rigs and really like them.

Installation couldn’t be simpler. Two action screws and two pins to remove. And the opposite to install the new unit. Here you can see that nice flat shoe…

There’s the factory Bergara trigger beside the Trigger Tech box.

Sorry for the late response. I guessed you were retired, because you’re doing exactly what I plan on doing for my first year when I retire! :cheers: Lucky guess really.
