I have a 16 gauge Model 12 in my safe right now.I have a Browning Model 12 in 20 gauge as well. Browning made around 4K.
Fine model a many a deer has fallen to one in my hands.I have a 16 gauge Model 12 in my safe right now.
Mine was my father's for as long as I could remember. It has been a go-to gun for over 60 years.Fine model a many a deer has fallen to one in my hands.
The sixteen is my favorite hands down, totes like a 20 and works them over like a 12.
Both the Winchester and Browning put 16's on a 20 gauge frame.
Remington was too lazy to scale the receiver to the gauge.
They just stuck a smaller pipe on it.View attachment 25232
I don't remember why this photo was taken, both these are pretty rare.
Left Winchester Model 25 12 gauge four digit serial number only 80K made.
The right was Browning BPS Upland Special in 16 gauge. I have been offered insane money for that shotgun.
Thats somewhat of an internet story. Like most, it has a bit of truth but greatly exaggerated. Many Eastern coyotes have a small amount of wolf DNA in their genetic make up, but they aren't "wolf crosses". The wolf DNA originated hundreds of years ago. I've caught some 50 lb coyotes, but the vast majority still average 30-35 lbs.Here in the NE, we don't have any of the "original" type. When I moved here from Kansas, I couldn't believe how BIG our coyotes were. Everyone called them COYDOGS. Well, researchers started DNA testing them. They are all WOLF crosses. Some will go 80+ pounds. Kansas ones were more like 35-40#

Like the report Ky Hills posted, I was quoting what our researchers here in the NE (NY) have discovered.Thats somewhat of an internet story. Like most, it has a bit of truth but greatly exaggerated.

My understanding is that coyotes are a recent thing east of the Mississippi river.Thats somewhat of an internet story. Like most, it has a bit of truth but greatly exaggerated.

Coyotes here for about 35 years. 50 years ago, we did not see deer, wild turkeys, feral hogs, groundhogs, fire ants, or armadillos in this area. Now we have all those. Had lots of rabbits, squirrels, quail. Not so many of those now.My understanding is that coyotes are a recent thing east of the Mississippi river.
I'd bet the fire ants have been a problem for the rabbits and quail.Coyotes here for about 35 years. 50 years ago, we did not see deer, wild turkeys, feral hogs, groundhogs, fire ants, or armadillos in this area.

Lots more people now. They do more damage than all the new animals combined.
Some fox hunting club brought the first ones to GA in the 40's. Somewhere down in south Ga. Fox hunting in the south is not the Tally-Ho on horses thing. It is where you get together in the woods, build a fire, and sit around all night listening to the hounds chase foxes. Idiots who think foxes, bobcats etc. " hurt the quail and rabbit populations" had decimated the fox population in some areas/ Well the coyotes took to GA like a duck does to water. Ironically, they about finished off the fox population in their areas. We have coyotes in the down town of big cities here in GA. Coyotes are here in huge numbers now. They have not hurt the deer and turkey population here at all. they will strengthen the population , as all predators always do sine the beginning of time. They do not hurt the quail or rabbit population either. I was a Fish & Wildlife biology major in college, and part of a study of the decline in quail poulations (this was in the mid 70's after cotton was almost gone and the whole state started planting beans). Idiots were shooting hawks, bobcats and what foxes were left on sight. The resuts of the study were ( as I had suspected it would be, just watching the way famers were doing their beans as compared to how they did cotton fields) that the biggest cause of the quail population decline was loss of habitat. 2nd biggest was predation by feral dogs and cats. and it stil is today. 47 years later.My understanding is that coyotes are a recent thing east of the Mississippi river.
I just wanted to point out that they aren't actual "crosses" or "coywolves" in the way the internet likes to promote, more of a composite. They're still coyotes, just slightly bigger than western cousins.Like the report Ky Hills posted, I was quoting what our researchers here in the NE (NY) have discovered.
Beefmaster is a composite breed... and yet we know which breeds were used to develop the breed.I just wanted to point out that they aren't actual "crosses" or "coywolves" in the way the internet likes to promote, more of a composite. They're still coyotes, just slightly bigger than western cousins.
Not according to the research scientist at Cornell Univ. "Supposedly" some really bad weather pushed the wolves around the top of Lake Michigan and mingled with the Eastern Coyote. The "new" coyotes that everyone thought was dog crossed, turned out to be WOLF cross,I just wanted to point out that they aren't actual "crosses" or "coywolves" in the way the internet likes to promote, more of a composite.
