Three of us out today. Lost count of kills but we went through 600rounds of 22. 300 rounds of 17hmr and 100 rounds of 22.250. I will more than likely estimate low and add 400 to the count. 1907 + 400 -2307.?

My son got his first two gophers today. He was using a Ruger 10/22 Tactical (he thought that one looked cool), with a Pursuit 3-9 power scope.

I got my first of the season. I used my 10/22 for my first one. The second one I tried out the 22-250. I think I'll stick to the 22's for the gophers, lol

Got out again this afternoon for a couple hours and dealt out some major league headshots! Won't post pics of those, a little to graphic...
I lost count after about 20ish. Was setting up on groups of 2-6 of the little suckers at a time so shooting was more important than counting!

Got out with the new .17 thursday and got 19 after sighting it in.

Went out sunday with 4 shooters, all .17's

Got another 365, including a couple doubles!







So 2307 (+22 not added above) + 365+19 =2713

cheers

Another 18 for us today, took the girlfriend out, her first gopher, and her first shot on anything living! She's pretty good! The stone cold gopher killer.

2713+18=2731

Started really late and haven't found that real "honey hole" yet so me and my bow have combined for a whopping 15 in the last 2 days, bringing the lifetime total to an even more impressive 15!

After a short "vacation" we'll be doing some more.

One of the ones I got today was a total fluke. 63 yards while it was running. It took 4 shots to finally get it.

Chalked up another 124 yesterday but was a little on the windy side. I wanted to get more on my week off, but weather just didn't cooperate while I was home.

2751 + 124 = 2875

83 + 1 with the truck = 84

2875 + 84 = 2959

I decided to take out a young guy in our youth ministry for some trigger time. It was a fantastic first spring gopher outing with at least fifty gophers "neutralized". Longest shot was 150yards with the 17HMR, shortest was 1 yard with the 17HMR as well. Two happy shooters & one ecstatic farmer!

Might be a while before a good shoot with the dreadful weather blowing in!

2962+50=3,012
