My buddy and I got out for the first time this year to shoot a few gophers. Warm day but windy, so we didn't see as many as we had hoped. Brought out my CZ today and it took it's first gophers of the year. It's been a while since I've shot anything with iron sights, so it was a challenging day in the wind. It's finally starting to feel like spring to me!

Man, the size of that den entrance...
Those must have been the younin you shot there?!
What bullet you using, they didnt appear to blow up to messy.
Thanks for sharing,
Rob

I was shooting CCI Mini-Mag 36 gr hollow points out of the CZ, buddy was shooting CCI Stingers out of the BL-22. Usually both bullets, but especially the Stingers, do a little more damage. These guys were probably males, they are usually the first out of the dens in the spring.
 
Nice going ,nice pics
Made it out also today, the wind was terrible, the gophers on the ridge were hard to spot and not as many out compared to yesterday while I was shed hunting.
I don't have any pics

Find any sheds? We were looking as well. We saw 300+ mulies yesterday, and a few appeared to have just lost antlers.

Looks fun Scott. I bet I know exactly where you were... Wink wink

Cold and windy again today. The little buggers still popping up now and again though.
