410 yards with 85 grain NBT out of my 25-06 Dude, you're makin me hungry, looks like stir fry.
The major difference between belief and fact is those who believe something have come to a conclusion no facts will contradict. Well informed people are open to new facts that oppose their beliefs. That also defines an open and closed mind.

Just got back from the killing fields, did all my shooting with a .222 and a .204...and did not take any pics of blown up gophs to post ( just my choice...) however, a good time was had by all, except those with buck teeth... A couple scenes... the .204 works on Jacks...might be bad news this easter.... And tailgate lunch in the killing fields Overlooking part of the AO...

Well Easter is going to be a little late this year... thanks to Ingwe, they have to recruit and train another Easter Bunny! glad my kid is old enough, that he's off the Easter Bunny's list anymore... otherwise, he'd be disappointed like the rest of the kids in the country will be.....

You guys are sick. I kind of like you. I like the term "Flipperin' ". We call it "Doin' The Chicken" or a "Boogey Woogey Shot'. (Coined by my son when he was about seven.) Our sagerats (Beldings Ground Squirrels) are up in force. Now that I'm taking hunters out, I don't get to shoot as many as I normally would but I get as big a kick out of watching others launch them as I do launching them myself. When I do shoot... a .204 with 39 gr SBK's and a .17 HMR with Hornady 17 gr V-maxes. When the little ones come out the first of May, .22's rule. Rockchucks--.243AI releasing 105 gr Bergers. Had a called hit at 1018 yards last week but couldn't find it. No Body, No Count. But, it was fun anyway. We limit our early season RC's to 1000 yards or better. We don't have that many so it makes it pretty easy on the resource. Sounds like you MT boys are doing more GS's than PD's? Love to go back to Wyoming and kill some PD's again. That's my kind of vacation! Go forth and slay stuff!

Killed both with my Marlin 981T 22lr.
How's that 981 servin' you? Got a good mind to trade in my Jam O' Mattic savage 64 and get one. Does she get good groups? Don't mean to thread steal but it's hard to find info on these.

I killed a jackrabbit at my aunt's house last year and told my cousins I killed the Easter bunny. They didn't believe me.

What breed are the squirrels in Montana?
The trek to the Goose lake area on the California/Oregon border was an annual trip for a long time and I miss it a bunch, can remember one year going through 3500 .22lr in 4 days with probably 80% hits. We thought we might shot out some fields but some buddies hit the same field a week later and could not tell we had ever been there.
I still think the best launches I have seen were the 110vmax out of the .308 or 30-06.
Hunt hard, kill clean, waste nothing and offer no apologies.

I've been waiting for the damned weather to clear to be able to go over again... it has been constant rain for 30 plus days now...
I sure hope the Forest Circus is happy as a clam, as their favorite pasttime in their Chicken Little World is running around all spring and summer with their hair on fire, screaming "Fire Season Fire Season!!!"....
