Default Waaay off topic.
Maybe I've got too much time on my hands.
But here's waaaay off topic link.

Meet the wiliest of all coyotes: Hit by a car at 75mph, embedded in the fender, and dragged for 600 miles - but Tricky SURVIVED

That's one lucky song dog. Wonder if the car heated up, with the radiator partially blocked like that.
Think about this; Christopher Reeve had a better case against horses than the Bradys do against guns. After all a horse has intelligence, free will, & mobility.
Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it, & you can bet they will be whining "Why didn't somone warn us?"

I for one welcome our new invulnerable canine overlords, and would like to remind them that as a trusted TV personality I can be useful in rounding up others to toil in their underground kibble mines.

Coyotes?

My solution...Remington 700 rechambered for the 22 CHeetaH, 55 grain V-Max at 4250 fps, this rifle has taken so many coyotes I am hesitant to give a number here but let's just say it seldom misses and has had to have the barrel set back twice now.

You handle the coyotes your way, I'll handle them my way.

That which doesn't kill me...probably won't kill the other guy attacking me.

Instead of banning the guns and the shiny things, just let the stupid people die. The world will be a better place because of it.

Personally I think they took a huge risk freeing that critter the way they did. I mean what if the impact had killed it and during the 600 miles trip in re-animated as a Zombie Coyote from the strange combination of fluids found in the modern auto?

Ya never know...I say better safe than sorry....

Zombie.. Canine.. Overlords.., Mining kibble? Not quite the way I'd envisioned the zombie apocalypse starting. Oh Well, never look a gift horse in the mouth I say.

I also like the V-max, mine are launched out of a NEF Handi Rifle in .223 win.
