Default great shooting!

Have had a couple of really good afternoons lately. "Good", in that there were lots of gophers. NOt so good on my shooting average. I keep pushing myself to shoot out past the 100 yard mark with the .22, instead of just getting a bit closer. It took 1100 rounds in the two days for a 660 count on gophers.
24,677 + 660= 25,377

Default Gopher Fest Update

The gopher problem on the Okotoks property I was shooting on has now been eradicated!! Replaced this location with a new horse ranch in SW Millarville. It's a venerable gopher colony!! Out last Friday late afternoon and again this morning for a few hours: 2565 + 23,848 = 24,113. The owner of this new property wants my time spent shooting not collecting dead gophers as the former property owner wanted so as to prevent his dogs from getting sick. It's like a shooting arcade!!

couple of things folks
1. new to this site...so bear with me lol ....looking for a decent used bolt action 22 for my 10 yr old boycub
2. is there anywhere close to Calgary that I can take my boys out to shoot gophers?? I am from way up north, so I dont know any farmers down here, and my boys love to go blasting the field rats, but we currently have to drive over 2 hours and set it up to do it....anybody that can help?
teach your kids to hunt and fish....and they wont have money for drugs and alcohol
Thanx
Randy

Nearly 25,000 rodents shot - that is a lot of 22 ammo!

I've seen 8, 2 went under the Ford. Looking for a bumper sticker, this Vehicle doesn't brake for gophers.

Default lease is thinning out a bit!!

The feedlot we have been hitting is finally starting to show it has been hunted. Hard finding enough gophers to use up a whole brick in one outing now!

Two days shooting between two of us; 845 more


33973+ 845= 34818
