Tonight went well.
I bagged two with the .22LR early in the evening (between 5:30-6:00). I took it with me tonight because I've had a few teasing me near the outbuildings where I can't/won’t shoot them with the bigger guns. After dispatching them I went out into the fields with the 20 Practical and dropped another four over the course of an hour between 80 and 230 yards.
Then I proceeded to a stream/ditch line on the north end of the farm. I've been avoiding that area for a while because the grass is getting tall enough to lose woodchucks in but the farmer has been driving the tractor along the brush enough to beat down a shooting lane. At that point I walked into a carnival shooting gallery… In a little over 5 minutes time I shot six woodchucks less than 100 yards apart from each other. Between 5:30 and 7:15 I sent twelve woodchucks to their final dirt nap. With one round in the gun I headed back to the barn to let the farmer know how the night went and pack things up.
The first one of the night.
The unlucky six.
This young bobcat was in the road ditch behind my truck as I was getting ready to head out. It was quite content to watch me pack up. I suspect it won’t have any trouble finding a free meal!
