Huntsman, what's the gun and ammo? Inquiring minds want to know.

You skin them badgers? I’ve never shot one but I keep saying I want to shoot one and have a little rug made. I walked right up on one a couple months ago and cornered him in a fence row, could have shot him easy but he was a little bitty one so I let him go. Neat looking rascals.

No I used a cannon on him. 7TCU with 110gr Speer TNTs. Right through the “shield” from about 90 yards, bang flopped. [Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]

Night hunt. Made a poor shot on the top one (male) then shot the second (female) about 200 yards away while looking for the first. So not a called double really. Orange coloration is undesirable for cats so the top one isn’t as valuable as the bottom, plus my poor shooting put a big hole in him. The female is the prettiest cat I’ve ever shot.

Me and the Sidekick beat up on the pigs again yesterday evening. This one and 3 of her buds won’t be rooting in the beans anymore.

After work rodeo today. Indianed up on what I thought was a pair of pigs. Only rifle I had was the 17rem, took my 45 to polish off any wounded. Trigger froze solid on the rifle in the 20mph blowing mist at 23deg, couldn’t make it do anything. So I whipped out the 1911 and got to business. 2 pigs erupted into about 20 when the shooting started, I managed to knock down two as they ran helter skelter. Dummies ran out into the middle of a half section of green wheat so I ran to the truck and hauled around the section to head them off. Managed to get the trigger thawed by blowing in it and killed a couple more. I’m going to have to put my 223 back in the truck, 25gr Hornadys are poor for raking shots. 200gr wadcutters are better but the trajectory sucks. Dance with who you brung.

I’d look downright snazzy kicking around out in the weeds in that. Like a lost college dean or something.

Glassed this bedded one up. I guess far enough for him to think he couldn’t be seen.
