16615+42=16657. Grass is getting long already, getting tough to see them.

Hard to see the buggers in the tall grass, sure can hear them though.

Get a gopher whistle and they'll stand straight up. My neighbors have asked me to shoot, heck I just got a phone call this morning and was asked "why I wasn't shooting?" Well, I have been shooting. In fact, I was asked if I wanted to get paid to do it. To which I replied, "no, but a donation towards ammo would be nice". So, in two evenings, besides that +52 that I've already posted, I shot exactly another 350. What is this?....the year of the gopher 'round here? I actually had to mention to a neighbor that I am gainfully employed and that I would do my best. Even requested the help of a couple of guys that I can trust to not shoot horses, cows and residences. My farmer friends and neighbors are wanting to seed now, but they fear that the gophers will eat the seeds.

So I'll add my 350 to the tally. 17,107 + 350 = 17,457

Default another "bad" field

I'm using a tripod for shooting off of. Great for hanging the gun off of while reloading, too. Never got more than 100 yards from where I parked the truck, and shot myself out of shells. 487 to the count.
When I left the field, there was still enough tent pegs watching me leave, you wouldnt know anyone had shot the field. I think its good for another go or two yet!

17878 + 487= 18,365

18365+62=18427. All in a tiny field about 400 yards by 200 yards. 17hmr with 200 yard shots with no wind was nice. Looked like a war zone of dead gophers all over that tiny field. Great fun.

I was doing pretty good this year at the place i shoot at.
Was told yesterday by the farmer no more shooting cause he caught a couple guys shooting 7mm twice then they gave him grief about kicking them off.
So the place i have been shooting for around 5 years is now gone.

Year of the gopher. New land and had to stop shooting the 597 heavy barrel to cool it down. Shot over 350 in 5 hours.
815 + 18739= 19554

I've been working on two quarters but I haven't even made it off the first one yet. It's just foolish. One or two shooters and as fast as you can load you've got targets. You know it's bad when you're rotating rimfires so the barrels can cool. We've killed more but weren't keeping count for the first couple sweeps so I'll only add the tallied number.

1200 + 19554 = 20754

Default Gopher Fest

It's been a great few months for popping gophers, especially productive post-litter stage. Hussar-Okotoks-Bassano-Nanton have been my areas of focus and my total tally for the year to-date (March-June) is 2794. I recently switched my ammo of choice from CCI 38 Grain 22LR HP to Winchester Super-X High Velocity 40 Grain 1435FPS 22LR HP (on sale for 12.49/box/100 at BassPro); the later provides increased accuracy with a knock-down punch!! Rifle of choice is my Browning T-Bolt Varmint Hunter!
