Saskatchewan Gophers - lots left

Well people, I was over Mankota way last week. I took a couple of Savage Mk.IIs and a Savage .223. Lots of gophers, not much problem finding a place to shoot.

Restaurants in Mankota have good meals, the Grasslands Inn is $66/night (being frugal,(not CHEAP as the wife suggests,) I camped out---being retired, I have more time ---saving money on motel rooms allows me to buy more ammunition).

Typical small town friendlyness. Lots of gophers ( I left you guys enough to make the shooting interesting), grass and crops coming up a bit. Young gophers out, making it more of a challenge to hit smaller targets, but they are a bit inexperienced (stupid?) making it a target rich environment.

No worries buff, we will be around the Tompkins area...with a few thousand acres to shoot on

 

[pharaoh2]

Thanks for the heads up.

 

[captain2k_ca]

Pharoah, you gonna bring your chainsaw??

Im gonna head to town later today...needs a few items...yay, spend money!! LOL!!!

 

[pharaoh2]

I'll bring my saw. I'm waiting on a call this evening so my shopping will have to wait till tommorow. I'll clean the guns tonight though. Anything else you can think were going to need?

 

[captain2k_ca]

A bit of sunshine might help LOL!!

Cant think of anything else at the moment tho....

 

[captain2k_ca]

Just talked to my dad....they have had about 1 1/2 inches of rain so far today!!

As long as the sun comes out the roads wont take long to dry up.

And talked to my cuz....sounds really good peeps...

By what he is saying we arent gonna need to go more than a mile from the campground to keep busy....they are eating his crops half to death So he is quite anxious to get us out there and start tearing em up!!

Here was our conversation:

Me "You got lots there?"
Him "Yup"
Me "That bad?"
Him "yup"
Me "You sound pretty confident you have lots there"
Him "Oh yes."

LMAO!! WOOOHOOO!!!!

 

[captain2k_ca]

Oh ya, forgot to add that he said the road to his place is still good....I know from experience it take ALOT of rain to make it impassable...so by friday afternoon it should be just fine!


Do you any FRS radios Pharoah?

 

[pharaoh2]

What the Hell is an FRS radio?

[pharaoh2]

And you couldn't just say a walkie talkie?

I have an old one somewhere, but I'll never find it before the weekend. Probably doesn't work anymore anyways. No worries, if I hear that too familier "Whhooooooo" of a bullet flying overhead, I'll hit the dirt!

 

[captain2k_ca]

Ya I got some old ones too...they might work if I can find em....might be handy to have for the trip there

 

[pharaoh2]

100 KpH my friend, 100 KpH. It'll be a nice little drive out. We could stop at a town halfway, top up fuel, smoke 'em if you got 'em and BS. You know, like they did before FRS.

 

[captain2k_ca]

100kph? Stop?

I dont understand...i am a truck driver and these terms are foreign to me

 

[pharaoh2]

Allow me to translate. You take 1 Dodge Neon and 1 Saturn Sedan, add $1.35 for fuel and an optimal fuel efficiancy rating @ 100 KpH, and you come up with my equation!

By the way, did you hear their putting video screens up at all the gas stations? Their going to be playing hard core ####. The idea of watching someone else get fu*ked at the pumps is supposed to make us feel better.

 

[captain2k_ca]

After I fill up I cant walk properly for a couple hours...wish they would at least lube up before they cornhole me so hard....

I gotta get me rifle sighted in sometime too....put that new glass on top and havent had time to dial it in yet....hopefull it is close


As a rule I usually go 5k over the limit

 

[pharaoh2]

I'll bring my bore sighter with.

 

[captain2k_ca]

Ah that will do!

How much beer should I bring??

 

[pharaoh2]

I'ce got a case good to go. Hmm, 8000 rounds of ammo and only 1 case of beer. Somthing doesn't compute...
