[QUOTE="cfvickers, post: 488583, member: 25488"] Purists wouldn't call what I do hunting them. I ride around the local farms where I have permission to shoot and look for them in the fields while the farmers are planting rice. Usually do it for a couple hours after work every day in the late spring. Obviously I pay attention to where all tractors, houses and people are and am VERY judicious with my shots taken. The activity in the fields keeps them stirred up pretty well that time of year. I like hunting the fields around here, the size of the fields makes it easy to judge distance. average square or rectangular fields are 40 -80 acres and therefore it is 440 yards directly to the other side, big fields are 120-160 therfore its usually a half mile across them. I keep a calculator in my center console and do a little quick geometry and can get fairly close when shooting at an angle across the fields. Limit my shots depending on what i am shooting. Best shot on one was 135 yards with a .22 pistol, and longest with a rifle was under 300 yards. They just always seem to be pretty close when I get a shot. I did witness a half mile or better shot once as a child by my dad with a .338 win mag he had in the truck on a september afternoon a few weeks before he was to go on an elk hunt. Crazy thing about that was he was shooting off the interstate! I thought we were both going to jail, but noone even paid attention to him. My how times have changed.
