i'm lucky enough to operate a gas field out in some prime pasture land between the #1 and the red deer river.
We aren't "supposed" to have guns in our company trucks, but there's no one around on weekends. And since i have to work every other weekend i figure i might as well enjoy it!
With the weather coming i should hit 100 by sunday. :)

nice!!!!!!
 
77 days till the shoot, and I kill my 77th gopher of the year today.

Might go into work about 5:00 am tomorrow so I can spend some extra time in the pasture in the afternoon.

I added a countdown app to my iPod last night just for the gopher shoot this year.
I figure I'll leave about 10:00 am on the 29th so that makes it 2.56 months, or 11.17 weeks, or 78.16 days, or 1875 hours away.

Time can't go quick enough!

Kim. Have you heard what the gopher population is like out there yet this year? I'm up to 63 kills so far.

63? I hope you are doing better. Monday brought my count to 160. Wife at 30. Buddies have 70 total.

Must be nice to have jobs that allow activities other than sleeping :(

Yeah, lately my job has allowed me to do a lot of work! Between pump jacks that die and compressors that go down on ghosts, there hasn't been a nap or a dead gopher in about 2 weeks. Lol.
Looks like the weather has cancelled any chance of gopher time this weekend too. But maybe a crow or two…

62 days left. :D

Yep. No gophers for me this week, either. Dang weather!! Between 25-40km of wind and rain, there was no opportunity Woke up this morning to 2" of wet snow. Gone now. Maybe next week I can get a few more.

Fek, I haven't had to energy to do sh!t at all lately. I spend my weekends on my couch, oddly enough that's where I spend my evenings too.

So I managed to get nine on the snow this morning after the rain quit. That brings me to 101.
Supposed to be sunny out there tomorrow too.
