[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 110988, member: 10"] Far and away I hunt varmints the most. Generally rock chucks and ground squirrels and occasionally prairie dogs. Used to do alot more but there are some out there that keep pestering me to get their rifles finished, you know who you are [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]!!! Other then that, I also do alot of yote hunting, some limited bird hunting. I generally wait till it gets colder then a witched you know what and then go down and walk the creek behind my house. When it gets this cold, the lakes and rivers freeze up and all the migrating ducks hold up on the small fast moving creeks that stay open. They do not stay long, generally only a week to 10 days at the most but its a hell of alot of fun to get down on the creek and jump shoot some big fat mallards for dinner. More like pheasant hunting then anything. As far as how I hunt. Before I got into the Allen Magnum rifles and trying to promote them big game hunting, I was pretty much an exclusive handgun hunter. My handgun hunting was split up about 50-50 between traditional open sighted revolvers for river bottom hunting and big single shot handguns for open country hunting. For about 12 years I would say 85% of all the game I harvested was with a handgun of some short. I also get a real kick out of taking a hick through varmint country with an accurate handgun and trying to get as close as I can to gophers to zip them with a 45 ACP or something similiar. Crawling through the rocks after rockchucks with a handgun is almost as much fun as popping them at 1000 yards. Alot more exciting though, the rattlesnakes can not bite you at 1000 yards!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I always have a clip full of snake loads filled with fine shot. Makes a mess of a bit rattles head at 5 feet or so!!! My latest pistol I am playing with is a 1911 I built up in 400 Corbon. Lots of fun. Pretty accurate and very flat shooting for a 1911. I am shooting the 180 gr XTPs out at 1350 fps.
