I can't believe I bought this gun!

Thanks guys.  

Gene:  Are you on my wife's side now? :-)

Warren:  Glad to see you here buddy!  
I 'm happy with all my airguns actually.  If I 'm not happy with one, I 'll get rid of it, fix it or have it tuned, etc.  So far I 'm just happy with the way this new gun looks and feels.  I have no idea how it shoots.  I shot it once and my ears were ringing.  It's too loud for backyard shooting and very close to rimfire power.  I 'll be ordering a shroud but will head to the woods with it hopefully soon to try and sight it in.  I'm thinking of putting a Simmons 44 Mag. on it that I 've had sitting here for a while.  Have you heard from Tim at all?

PS: that Talon in .25 cal. IS NOT a squirrel air gun LOL, it will take anything that walks in 4 paws anywhere between 25 and 75 pounds at 30 yards, Do you have Coyotes in NY???

Thanks buddy..  I sure do have Coyotes around here and lots of them!  I see them at night a lot not far from the house.  Closest sighting (a pair) was about a mile west of here.  This is one of the reasons I got the .25 Condor.  I was told by several deer hunters that they are seeing them in broad daylight all over the place while they were scouting the 5,000 acre State land hunting grounds (about 3mi. from my house) in the last couple of weeks.  
Last week I was scouting roads and entry ways into these 5,000 state owned acres.  I noticed many cars parked on the side of the road for like 1.5mi.  They were between 100-150yds apart parked by signs that were marked with #'s & letters.  It was late afternoon and didn't wait long until hunters started coming back to their cars so I started talking to a few of them.  Those signs are designated hunting areas reserved for people that applied for them early in the Fall.  Anyway these guys were out there scouting their assigned hunting grounds getting ready for deer season.  I got to speak to 4 of them and later to one of my neighbors that deer hunts and 4 out of 5 said they spotted coyotes while walking through the woods during the day.  That means there's a good # of them in those woods and I have a chance of running into them while hunting cotton tail or squirrels.  What better weapon to have with me than a 90+fpe Condor? :-)

Harry:

YOTES are a challenge, not easy to find or turn up side down. they are nocturnal animals and very intelligent, more so than the common dog. anything under 1 year old is easy but as they age they are full of tricks

your air gun will not be a problem with a yote it will be your scope since they are active from dawn to dusk just like the Vampires' LOL need a special scope for dim light hunting

don't even think you are getting close to them at 20 yards, they will know where you are before you are 100 yards away

you can't call them or bait them, they are that bright compared to other's like the Wolfe. suburban yotes are more bold and easy to bag as they will come as close as you have your  trash can next to the house

I bet you; before you get your first yote you will have put down 1,000 squirrels LOL

good luck and get one for ME
