[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 6285, member: 3"] Ian Let's make a date then... You come down here and kill some of the local pests and I'll come up there and kill something... I was out last night for a short look-see and there were no less than 18 deer in 3 crop fields so I stopped looking... I need to kill some more before the farmer(s) get too upset, now's bad time for deer to be after the crops. What you got this fall...maybe I can get up to your place for a little hunt. Technical question: Are the gopher's of Canada actually Richardson ground squirrels? They seem to be smaller than I recall Prairie Dogs being, act the same but smaller (No it's not that I didn't hit very many [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] ) There were some "newly minted" versions we shot the first day, about the size of a Hostess Twinky but the full grown versions were still only about 8 inches long (maybe I got a "runted" batch). I was using the new Nikon Tactical 2.5 x 10 on my .223 Rem for this shoot...great scope. Shot up all my 69 grain Sierra Federal Gold Medal ammo (except one round you know, they got Indians in Alberta [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [I] learned that from John Wayne movies[/I]) I'll e-mail later.
