Gophers are out!!!

gophers are out in full bore today had agreat time with the 204 ruger ,32 grain v-max handload .Some of them flew 8 feet from the hole after the hit lol
Quite windy the farthest was 450ish yards holding between the second and third hash mark ,and what we figured was 1-1/2 feet to the left
Great day
 
I'm from Edmonton also ,moved down here to raise the family.First I was down here I drew a 300 elk tag late season it was pouring rain in feb lol never say that before
Med hat is a nice place close to some great fishing and hunting
 
I hunted the Porcupine Hills, Drayton Valley, Smokey Lake, down by Warner and few other areas of the province. I tried to get an Elk tag for the base but never got one. I am still raising my priority on draws so when I get back I can get a moose and elk. There aren't any gophers in the part of ON I am in but I may be able to go out and take out a few ground hogs but it isn't the same finding a gopher town and shooting til the barrel gets hot.
 
I got the little bugger with my .22 cal 70+ year old "Ranger" ( has no markings or serial #) that my Dad had as a boy, and taught both his sister and his brother how to shoot with ! Has piece of wood as rear site ramp! Very accurate little rife. It will be great for my grandsons to learn to shoot with . And 2 more bit the dust today !!!
