April 22,23 Bieber2.jpg April 22,23 Bieber1.jpg I didn't put the squirrel on the fence, I shot him in the grass under the fence, he took flight above the top wire and landed on the second strand.

Re: Early Season Fun in the Rat Patch

Dont think the shooters could put them on the endangered list, hevens knows I try though. I actually try to avoid the fat ones in the Spring, especially the Cannibals as I think their the females needing the protein.

Re: Early Season Fun in the Rat Patch

Well stated, that is Gun Porn...yeah. 338-06 is a local favorite where we Elk hunt in MT. I had a retired miltary friend who recommended a Leatherwood, had one on my 22-250 for a long time held up well, replaced with VX-L.

Re: A good start to April

I bought a box and shot some at the range, wasn't very careful about comparing but seemed to shoot pretty close, I also shot the remainder of the box maybe 30-35 on the last squeaker shoot, I thought at the time I was trying too hard for them to be inferior but thought the good ol' thump sound wasn'...

Re: surprise valley squirrel roundup

Friday morning there was 1.5" of new snow in Cedarville, 7" in Burney, and almost 4 feet in La Porte East of Oroville. I had to remind myself a couple times that I was having fun.
