Gopher Shootin’ 2024
Been out shooting gophers 5 times now. Told landowner/friend to let me know when started seeing activity. Got on them early this year. First couple of times was great shooting with plenty of targets to give “flying lessons “ to. Last 3 times definitely less targets and I may need to find another pla...

First ‘yote
Have been seeing a young coyote off and on this spring/summer very early in mornings. This morning opened window blinds and across the way was coyote feeding on deer carcass. I hurried down to get my CZ and loaded 3 rounds of my Hornady VMax 32 grain bullets. I slowly went out door and wanted to get...

Gopher Shootin’ 7/13
Was able to go out again today for some more gopher Shootin’. Although we haven’t had a really good hard rain the alfalfa and grass are still growing pretty rapidly. Trying to get in as much shooting as possible, before the dreaded long grass once again overcomes the shooting for these great little ...

Gopher Shootin again
Was able to get out and give some gophers more flying lessons! The hay fields were recently cut and I was able to get out and do some shootin’! Still lots of targets and lots of “flying lessons given”. Even though this has been a great year for precipitation, I would expect that the fields will not ...

Gopher Shootin’ 3
Was out again today on a beautiful sunny day, again with very light winds. Set up in different area at request of owner, closer to house. Grass is getting taller by the day, as the gophers now run they do a little jump so they can see over the tall grass. It just helps me keep track of them so that ...

Gopher Shootin’ II
Went out again today to give flying lessons. Beautiful day with light wind and temperatures warming into mid 70’s!! A few less targets but was good to get out into the fresh air and sunshine after a rough winter here in Central MT. Trying to get out and shoot every 3-4 days as the shooting is in hay...

Gopher Shootin’
Was able to get out and give some gophers some flying lessons today! It’s been about 21 months since my last outing. Last year I didn’t get out due to the high cost of fuel, hard time finding bullets, primers and powder. Still hard time finding primers! Decided I needed to get out and do what I enjo...

PDogs July 8th
Was able to get out this week to take down some more Central MT PDogs. Cooler and overcast with light rain showers when I arrived at first town. Shot 3 rounds with 2 kills, definitely less in this town. Moved to a new area the landowner wanted me to shoot in since he had moved his cow/calves out. A ...

PDogs June 24th
Was able to get out this week to shot some PDOGS, been 13 days since last outing due to weather. Nice warm morning when I arrived @ 0900, 73 degrees with light winds. Went to a newer shooting area and let the bullets fly, shooting from the shooting bench in back of truck. Lots of PDOGS out, but afte...

Re: Looking for recommendations for new gun.
So I added a Burris Fullfield E1 6.5-20x50mm with the “Milling Varmint” reticle. The reticle is very similar to the Leupold scope that I have on my Remington .204. This scope was made for the flat shooting, long range, smaller caliber guns. Was specifically made for the .22-250. It has been pretty e...

Re: PDogs June 11th
Sorry should have added this. I believe the reason I was so successful from the “sniping” position was I able to get into firing position without any PDogs sounding the alarm, I heard no barking at all. Second reason is I have shot in this area for 3 weeks and after each shot the “report” would echo...

PDogs June 11th
Went out to same area to shoot PDogs, started on new land with small towns, first one only saw about a dozen PDogs, whacked 4 and then moved to another new area. More PDogs out but they have been shot at and most disappeared after the first shot rang out. Got 4 there also. Went back to my spot that ...

PDogs June 5th
Went back to same town as last week, definitely less targets, but spent several hour’s thinning them out. Was sunny and little wind once again. More adults out this week and less pups. Occasionally after the shooting is all done I like to walk the shooting field for pictures and to get yardage back ...

Re: More PDogs 5/28
Talking with the 2 landowners this past week, the plague has been here the last 2 years.👎 The PDog numbers are down considerably, numerous PDog towns are now barren. But like any of the plagues it is hit or miss, some towns totally wiped out and some towns completely untouched. One of the young pups...

More PDogs 5/28
Was able to get out today on another landowners property to take down some PDogs. Nice sunny about 65 degrees, very light winds. Landowner said that this piece had not been shot this spring! 😃👍 More than happy to check it out, lots of dogs and lots of pups out. Gave lots of pups “flying lessons” the...
