Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Predators and Varmints 2017 dead critter thread.......

took the furball and the hornut out for some exercise this morning. Looked at 4 different dog towns. Numbers are down from years past. Of course it doesn't help that both ranchers I hunted on had done some poisoning last year. But still found a few. Perfect weather. Needed long sleeve shirt and the wind stayed below 10 mph.

From a couple of days ago.

Possum on the half shell!

First shot of the year for my beloved little Fireball. Center punched at about 100.
She's still got it. Man I love this rifle.





The grass is getting a little high but I still managed to whack a dozen or so.
There's worse ways to spend a day than setting under a tree waiting to see what pops up.

Fifteen minutes ago.

Got this quill pig after my buddies blue heeler got a snoutful while were out riding!

Ruger Single Six with 4 5/8" barrel

It works out better to get them BEFORE the dog does.......

Genet Cat, 30 yards on the run

Colt AR, Leupold Green Dot scope. 200 yards away, running. Whole lot of luck

Very cool.

Assuming that's a Ring Tail Cat I didn't realize they lived in northern climates.
The only one I've ever seen was running across the road at night just outside of Bagdad AZ.

FG, not a cacomistle.

Yea.....looks like I have ADD because the OP clearly says it's a Genet Cat.

Whatever it is I'd like to have it's pelt hanging on my wall.

Pat, Is that the 6.5 SAUM?

It is.

I had to kill a red thief with my new 10mm the other day.

I was headed out to my reloading shop with my DW 10mm in my pocket, a red squirrel bolted from Wifeys garden, proceeded to climb a tree and start cussing me out, now, if you get caught stealing food, it's best to apologize and leave, he should have.

As he peeked around the fork in the tree I leveled the sights on his head, his whole body was tuning up into that chew you out spastic shake, BOOM went the 10 sending a 200 gr Nosler HP his way, clipped him in the neck, got a nice pic with him lying alongside his newly met corrector ;]

A good friend in Montana called this one in. He stopped at 225 to give me a Glamour Shot pose..................



A Longrifles, Inc. Mausenfield in .22-250 with a Harvester. Can't believe how quiet it was.

Had a great time at the event formerly known as the 24HourCampfire Invitational..... A few well known ex members were in attendence. We all had a great time, killed a lot of dogs, shot a lot of cool rigs, and just had an all around fun time. I did drop the ball on getting dead dog pics, sorry.











I will hang some more pics in a bit but photobucket is being a pain right now..
