Well,

WBH and I headed out this weekend (Sat) for a little rabbit and ground squirrel hunting. ###It was pretty good. ###Lots of g.s.'s out in the alfalfa fields, with the rabbits coming out just as the sun was setting. ###I can't count how many g.s.'s we cleaned out of one field, it looked like someone had dropped a F.A.E. (concusive bomb) in the field. ###They were pretty much pasted to the ground everywhere. ###Looked like the final aftermath at the end of the movie "Platoon". ###Now all I have to do is convice WBH that it's not that bad having to walk to pick up the rabbits. ###Then again...I guess WBH had a point in complaining about the walk... :smile-big-blue:

A .223 does kind of strech the range a bit, huh? ###:smile-big-blue:

Good to hear you had some good hunting. How was the weather out there?

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!! ###Damned Hot, real hot, Africa hot! ###Gettin' the picture? ###:smile-big-blue:

Seriously, it wasn't too bad, 'cause it was "a dry heat". :smile-big-blue: ###There were definitely plenty of rabbits (kinda small...no comments on that WBH!) out there next to the fields though. ###If you want to do some loooong range shooting there are some really good spots out near Calexico. ###And since my narrow butt doesn't like to walk too much anymore (had enough of that in the 'Corps), this type of shooting fits me well. ###You ought to give it try some time! ###Just bring a lawn chair and a shooting rest (and a cooler full of water and Cokes).
