The wind laid down here finally, had a nice clear day, the temps came up and it was not overcast so I finally got back out to chase gophers again. 346 in five hours. I like that - steady shooting and lots of young dumb ones out. The hay is starting to reach high enough that they are hard to see but there are enough around the edges of the fields to keep busy.
I am really starting to like my Tikka T1x in 22 LR for a gopher gun, the 20" barrel is handy for shooting from the pickup, although I do have to be careful with the mirrors (I have already clipped the edge once), accuracy is superb and the trigger is excellent, and as ugly as the 10 round magazines are it is sure handy to not have to refill them so often - it is fast becoming my favorite rifle.
