Dwane [me son] & I started our 2015 squirrel trip at 5;00am for the 10 hr. drive to northern Nevada. We arrived at the ranch around 3;00pm ,stopping to see Shawn the owner he tells us about all the good fields & off we go for some fun. Our plan is to shoot here until sun down then spend the night in Battle Mountain then own to Orovada the next morrning, we used 22 lr & 17 hmr on the first fields with most shots under 150 yds. as the babys were up in force, some times 6 to 8 on one mound , a great 3 hrs shooting.
The next morning we're on the road early 95 miles to Jim's farm then 25mi. the shooting site. Jim showed us around for a while then we pulled up on a feild that looked like it was moving ! We set up our gear next to my truck with Jim about 75 yds away. Shooting started about 9 am with only 2 or 3 moves around the field , again 22 & 17 hmr . I have never seen so meany squeek on one field ! We camped on this ranch & went back to the same field the next morning , shooting 7am to 4;30 pm and only covering 1/2 of the other side.
Driving the 120 miles back th Battle Mountain for the night. we were up at early ;30 going back to Shawns place for 7 hrs. of the most fun shooting squirrel we have ever had. Heading toward home around 4pm with an over nighter in Beatty Nv. we made it home about noon on Dwanes daughters 21 birthday, as you can see this was a short fast trip but the best ever. I shot 1832 rounds 22lf -17hmr- 17hornet
17 fireball- 223 I think Dwane shot close to 2000 mixed with the same calibers
Thanks for reading Joe
