A little early, I usually like to wait until about Mother's day when the little ones come out (more targets) but couldn't resist. Ended up shooting about 9 or 10. Rifle is a Howa Mini in .222Rem. ........and these voles were everywhere. Quick little suckers that rarely stop. But when they do...Shot about a dozen of them with my .38spcl.

Nice! Yeah, I'm always conflicted on when to start taking some of them. Don't want to leave pups to perish if I can avoid it, but never quite sure when that would happen.

I miss shooting those guys. When I lived in the Nlack Hills it was a great thing to do on a Sunday afternoon.
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

Not sure what the deal is with the Voles but they are everywhere. The population has been booming for at least the last 5 or 6 years.
