Well I got back today for a few days...My granddaughter won the All Around High School Cowgirl, and is the district champion, and will be going to State in all 6 of her events as she place high in all of them, she ended up with 9 trophy buckles, and a really nice trophy saddle..State will be in Pocotello, Idaho, and Nationals will be in Gillette Wy in mid June..We are really proud of her, and will be there supporting here..My roping has not been that good for sure...:)
The rockchucks are out in my pasture by the hundreds, and I shot 52 yesterday from my kitchen window..That little 6x45 is about the best little gun I have ever owned, it has no misses..then to the Snake River Canyon and got another 76 chucks. The updrafts in the canyon can move a 6mm or 22 bullet a foot high at 100 yards, its a killer on newbies to the canyon...Well thats about it on chucks for me this year as I am off to Texas and some team roping, then back in June for the high school state championship rodeo to watch my granddaughter perform...By then it will be hot and the chucks will be back in their holes for they year, for all practical purposes..
While in Texas I will use the 6x45 on my nephews feral hog population..I have 6 boxes of 75 gr. GS custom monolithics loaded up and ready to go. We'll hunt hogs in the morning and practice our team roping in the evening..It will be a fun 3 weeks. I also have two grandsons graduating down there so will attend that.
You guys hang in there and I'll pop back in from time to time.
