congrats dennis, on yet another fine harvest. keep up the work! i have been debating on that model of scope, between a mill dot or something like the NP-R1, R2 reticle i just have not decided, let me me know how it works out for ya.
Weatherby said:Dennis, you can go to Nikon's website and print off the BDC chart for the particular round that you are using and the model of scope you have. Each circle is marked with the approximate yardage. I did this for both my weatherbys and they seem to be pretty accuate up to around 450 (I haven't tried it at farther distances). I keep the chart tucked inside the ammo holder for quick reference in the field.
How's that R-15 treating you? I've had my eye on one of those, but can't find one cheap enough to pull the trigger just yet.
The way I understand "actually found" is "beyond reasonable doubt." 8 chickens are missing, dogs make sure that skunks, coons and coyotes stay away from the house. We usually don't have bobcats on the property, and chickens don't disappear for no reason either. If I had any doubt that this guy moved in next to chicken pen for other reason than our chickens, I wouldn't have killed it.
I'll check with wildlife department - to make sure that my interpretation is correct.
My apologies if you found my behavior unsportsmanlike - I do my best to follow the rules/laws to a tee.
As your attorney, I'm going to say that argument might not hold up if you were in court. To quote you, "actually found" is "beyond a reasonable doubt". Let's switch this to people instead of chickens and bobcats. Little Timmy disappeared from his bedroom. As the parent, you make sure all the child killers are kept away. Yet when Little Timmy disappeared, you shot and killed a male adult in the area, because he was "capable" of taking poor little Timmy from his bed. That does not mean he did it, as you did not catch him in the act, and there is reasonable doubt as to his guilt. You'd probably be prosecuted for it because you had no proof. Same goes for the bobcat. He is capable of it, but he was not witnessed killing chickens, there was no proof mentioned that he was the one killing chickens, he was only seen in the area where the chickens disappeared.
I'm only ribbing you here, and not judging... just playing devil's advocate. You are the one that pulled the trigger, so I'm going to assume you made the correct judgement.

Not sure that is the best comparison. You're saying Male adults are as likely to kill children as bobcats are to kill chickens.
