Nephew set me up with two HF wall cabinets for my spray cans to organize some. Got one up last night second one this morning then set to burning the trash from them. Lo and Behold a Coyote is playing out in my pasture. Go inside slip out with the .243, one DEAD Coyote. Used post in Foreground to steady against, vulture bait. 200 yds+/-      |

| $160 with tax for both, 'Some assembly required' and ARE a handful to assemble. Worked great on Tin wall siding as the offset in hanger brackets was perfect fit. To hang on flat wall will need a back spacer or to set screws inside compartments. |

Thanks DJ, was the biggest and bravest Yote have seen in some time. They generally run the creek edge just below the house and inside the brush line at dusk yapping and yipping making wife's skin crawl, may be quiet here for awhile now. Had to be cautious on the shot, the leaning post I steadied on is basically pointing to where it lays, there is a house up and to the left from there back thru the tree line.

| Dave...that's the same cabinets i have up in my cook shack, have 3 up and 2 more to go. they are holding food and other stuff, they are good strong cabinets, and like you said, they are kinda a pain to put together! i didn't use the bolts they send with, i use little quarter inch bolts and they put a stronger bond on the cabinets. i also found out that you leave out the washers on the hinges, if you don't put them in, the doors will stay closed without having to lock them each time. each cabinet i put up has 3 different lock keys, they are not all keyed the same. i wish they were just a couple inches deeper, but they do fine and hold lots of stuff! the state game and parks people have contacted me, they wanna go ona coyote hunting/eradication journey on my farm! i told them to get out there and DO IT! with us living so close to town, the things are going in and killing the towns people pets and stalking people now. the fellow that hunts deer on our property said he was walking back to his truck one morning after the sun came up and 3 of them started to surround him in the field. they are not afraid and they seem to be very well fed. they are doing their deeds in daytime hours instead of darkness, and been hanging around the new grade school down the road from me. that appliance you have in the wall below your new cabinet...is that heat and air? 110V or 220V? |

Hey dude, I did use the hardware supplied, should service well enough as is for what I am doing with them. And Yes, that is a PTAC(Hotel type system) Heat Pump supplied by the HVAC Contractor that put service in our home, suffices well for the 18x30 tools area workshop side, 220VAC. Have pretty well decided should it fail will add a Air to Air Wood burner outdoors thru the same hole and a Conventional LP Furnace/AC system to replace it. Cost is prohibitive to replace with like/kind due to environmental changes.

| I like my little M77 Ruger 243, light, minimal recoil, at 200yds only 4" drop if zero at 100yds. Cabinets are already FULL, going back after a Third unit to sit to the left of the one in the large bay side. |

Nice cabinets and an even NICER shot Dave. I wonder if and when they'll have a bounty on yotes again? DAMN DNR putting them back and also wolves. Just cause of the cry babies in the big cities who want everything to go back to natural habitat like it was 200 years ago. Heck, if you want wolves and yotes, we'll ship em to ya and you can raise em in Times Square or Hollyweird. ------------- "Allis-Express" 19??

Areas around ST Louis are seeing larger packs of Yotes, the neighborhoods with small pets note the pets numbers decline rapidly when the Yotes first arrive, cats, small dogs then the rabbit and squirrel as well ground dependent birds start to disappear. Then the yotes move on. Funniest memory for me is when lived in Warrenton, Furthest SW Corner of City Limits, heavy wood lot to our West and neighbor HAD two Pomeranians, Key Word HAD. Would turn them loose to do their business in OTHER yards then one fine morning turned them loose and as I watch, a Barred Owl comes off a tree, sweeps in and GRAB, YIPE One down and gone to the woods. Explained that to neighbor's hubby, got called a bald faced liar. So left them be, few weeks later, guy and his daughter walking the Other one, NO LEASH, got too close to the woods and here it came again Swoops in Grab and Off to the woods all the while the Guy and the little girl are screaming and running. Never found the two dogs and I got a apology. Critters really like tender well fed nourishing Human Loved Food Stocks.
