Default Wife says "Move the coyote guns back to safe when not in use".

A few weeks ago guess the boss was tired of vacuuming around the 22-250's parked in the living room so asked if they would be going back to the safe soon. I replied no since a coyote gun on a bird farm is generally useles if always locked up so I like to keep them "handy" for both myself and my son. Seems she banged them with vacuum power nozzle so hoped they would be out of way "soon".
Now I had to go back to Ontario for a week due to an urgent family matter so had not done any coyote hunting since the beginning of the month until this week. I killed one Sunday at the neighbors and when I walked up to him I was surprized the SXSP had done so much pelt damage as a good 6 inch slit had opened up on the neck. When I fired this coyote was walking away from me so I was aiming for rear when he stopped and looked back at me.
This morning on a broadside shot I walked up to find out the hit once again was in the neck so it appears the rifle is consistently shooting to the right.
Talked to the boss when I got home this morning to see how hard the rifles were "knocked" by the power nozzle and found out both were knocked over while sitting on bipods. Guess I am sighting in again this afternoon and putting them away when not in use in the future.

Screwing a gun rack on her freshly painted 2010 accent walls. You guys don't know my wife. A hanging gun rack in the rec room maybe, main floor not going to happen. Besides I figured bipods had them up and off carpet a little bit so should be good to go.

Neither of us would be considered "tiny" so we will have to make sure they don't see us coming until it is too late.

If that were me, i can think of a few Vases or collectable glass items of hers that would be knocked over . I treat my guns better then I treat myself
