Looks like he's going to keep an eye out for you!

He did, but just not enough of an eye apparently.

I got out today for the first time of the year.
I went 3 for 3 but nothing too impressive, it's hard to get many shots on this farm over 300 yards.These were only about 150ish. Rain was on the way so only spent two hours. Using the Swift with custom 57 grain hpbt.

Double post. i thought I was posting on this thread earlier lol. Coldbore 533 yards with the 260 AI 145 gr Barnes Match Burner. First chuck of the year and first anything on the 260 AI. Dialed 2.80 mils, he was running right to left and stopped. I aimed for the head in case he ran when I shot. Caught him under the chin. Sheep herders have come into the area so this might be the last one for awhile.

The little 17HMR with the 17 gr V-Max bullet is impressive at closer ranges (60 yards or so).

Well fellas, my 6yr old finally killed his first RockChuck. We've been hunting em a little bit in between spring rain & snowstorms & finally got it done this afternoon. Black Rain Ordinance 5.56 52gr nbt. 100yds on the sneak. Full on buck fever….he's still Vibrating with Excitement

Vegetation got high fast here so I haven't been out lately except for the other day for a couple hours with a good buddy. I shot a big sow and a pup out of the same hole. The 64 grain Bergers are working good in the Tikka 22-250. There were pieces of the young one scattered all over the place

Not a spectacular varmint kill but these boogers are thicker than mosquitoes around here so I've been working on them with my new savage. This one was a perfect double lung shot at about 40 yards with me leaning in the side of a tree. CCI Quiet22. Athlon Neos 4-12x40. Savage Minimalist 22LR

I've seen old farm cook books with recipes for them. I never considered having one. How was it?
