First gopher shoot of the season!!!

[brother1]

Ok, so I took my .17 hmr, and went for a drive. Didn't see too many, but managed to take out about a dozen of the fat little critters! Wherever the snow had melted, and dirt was showing, there was usually a gopher (in my secret honey pot of a field). Nothing close though, so I tested my savage out at 100, 200 and even 300 yards...managed to hit the little buggers at all ranges, but had to really compensate at 300. I'm pumped, can't wait to go out again!!

I'm thinking Saturday here.

 

[northwoodslivin]

you have ground showing up there..

####, we still have over 2-3 feet of snow on the ground here and it is snowing out hardcore now... but supposed to change to rain

HAHA

We don't have snow in Vancouver (it's pretty sunny lately actually)..... No gophers either though

 

[pharaoh2]

If it's any consolation, I haven't pulled the trigger on one yet. I did pull one out of a trap this morning, (and he was frozen) and ran over two yesterday though.

I keep seeing them as roadkill around town.

Is this near Calgary? Oh boy, time to try out the new .17hmr!

poor little guys. they have familys missing them now.

 

[whammy]

I hope thats a joke...

I got my first one almost two weeks ago )was even the first one of the year I'd seen). Haven't had a chance to shoot more then that one though, seen a couple running around while working, better start packing the gun at work.

If you are not joking, you're a loser.

 

[northwoodslivin]

I wished we had gophers here... ah well... there are always them dang pesky crows

 

[Shack07]

I was extremely excited the other day when I heard a few chirping and saw a squished one on the road. I have a few new toys with which I hope to take out in a couple weeks.
