Couple years ago on the Hi-Line we were into them hot and heavy. Shots were from 5 feet to 200 yards.
Aboard atv's, you will often have vermin "scatter" from nearly under your tires. Partner had a under 10' shot and the scope showed a clear field......
Next morning we were clening rifles before the next attack and he noticed a perfect hole in the 3x9 of his "other" rifle.
He had finished out the day still hitting gophers and continued to use the rifle for the trip.
