Gophers Are Out

Just took out 20 in the yard yesterday. Working on 10 posts

Same here.
Still got snow so not many critters though.

Saw plenty of rock chucks while looking for sheds last weekend. I came back the next day to thin them out a bit. The p dogs weren’t so plentiful yet, but there’s plenty of time.

300 BLK with subs sounds like a pellet gun. Head/neck shots makes for a good challenge.

Went out gopher hunting this afternoon. My first time ever doing it. This much fun with a 22 should be illegal. And you are doing a service for your local rancher. I will be out again tomorrow.

I can't believe how much fun this is. And the things I'm learning about shooting with my trekking poles and using a sling to create a solid platform is priceless.

I took out twenty or so today. The 22 has impressed me. Couple of shots were about 100 yards out.

Did that little one bare his fangs and charge?

He was the most viscous of them all. I think he had a Napoleon complex or something.

If you
Maybe a closer look will reveal that there isn’t much left to eat…

I have been using my 1940 made custom Mauser 98 in 7x57 shooting 139 grain Hornady soft points. They make quite a mess of them. Great practice for big game season. I use the express open sights on it as I can’t bring myself to drill and tap it.

Took a drive down into NorCal today...nearly 90 degrees!
But, 'skeeters were definitely out so got in a little pre-season!









Looking for some wood furniture for my Bug-A-Salt if anyone has a lead?
