Ran out to the desert today to shoot a few guns, and the ground squirrels were out. Managed to bag a few with a 22 handgun I had along. Wasn't expecting them today or I would have brought along a 22 rifle...
Tominboise: That's a good sign!
At approximately what elevation were you when you saw the Varmints?

2500' above sea level, more or less....
I was out in the west desert of Utah yesterday, and saw a couple as well.
It's been exceptionally warm around here for February. El Nino and all....
Also have seen a few.IIRC we're right about 3000' in the desert here.
Was out coyote hunting and spotted one out on the snow, didn't have the 17 hmr with me so the .204 came to the rescue on Jan. 30th in Willow Creek, MT!
