Re: ground squirre;ls
Any of you guys in Oregon getting any shooting yet? A friend and I went out today and created some carnage. For some reason we're not seeing any badgers this spring. I've only seen a couple and couldn't get a shot at them. We did see two rock chucks today but they were on private property gorging th...

Re: ground squirre;ls
I'm ready to go look for some rock chucks here ! We went out yesterday and shot a few ground squirrels. There weren't as many as I expected but we had fun with what we did get. It was a beautiful day, lots of sun, almost no wind and in the high 50's. May try another area tomorrow.

Re: ground squirre;ls
We've had perfect weather here the last few days. Going out tomorrow and see if I can get some more of them to do some acrobatics.
Hope you can get out soon.

Re: ground squirre;ls
Got out yesterday and cleaned up on the ground squirrels. I was shooting my .218 Bee Ruger #1, which I've named "Deadly Do Right". I didn't expect them to be out like they were and shot up all the ammo I took along. Got a lot them to go air borne. Spotted one badger but he disappeared unde...

Re: ground squirre;ls
Can't get out, it's been raining steady since Tuesday evening. Before that we had about an inch of snow. I think the ground squirrels are wearing wet suits and snorkles ! Lots of wind too. Bad case of cabin fever !

Re: ground squirre;ls
I love it to. Coyotes, badgers, jack rabbits, squirrels, they all make for good painting.

Re: ground squirre;ls
A buddy and I got out yesterday afternoon for awhile. It was ca cold, windy, overcast day but we managed to pop about a half dozen of the little squeakers. I was shooting my Ruger #1 .2189 Bee and he had his Ruger .223 AR. After a long winters nap they can still do aireal acrobatics.

We have hardly had any snow here in the valley this winter. All in all it's been a pretty mild winter, a little rain here and there. I'm going out tomorrow afternoon and see if I can pop a couple. Might scare up a badger. Hope you can get out before to long, always look forward to your stories and p...

Badger down

Shot another one on the same mound, it was down and kicking but be fore I could shoot again it kicked itself down the hole...

Re: Handloader and Rifle magazines
I was wanting to sell, but I have no idea what they're worth. Just thought I'd see if there was any interest in them. There is a lot of good information in them. I'd make somebody a good deal. I'd prefer some one fairly close, I live in so. west Idaho. I could meet someone from Oregon halfway or som...
