Last evening

Post by Inrut24/7 »

Last evening was great, I hunted a new farm , Overall I had 8 kills, 3 crawlers and 4 misses, One of the misses was within inches at 530 yards and the longest shot was 502 yards on the leica rangefinder, This was my farthest shot ever, before this the longest was 450. The 39 grain Blitzkings are doing a great job from the 204.

last evenings kills.

This one was 160 yards and had the most damage.

Looks like a great day. My numbers have been decreasing. Not seeing no where near as many as early season. I know there is one guy "employed" by the farmer who hunts them with dogs. He really knocks the heck out of them. Same thing happens during rabbit season. THe beginning of the season is great then the guiys with dogs get in and I can't find a bunny to save my life. By the way great shot also. 500+ yards on little critters is really a long way. heck its a long way on big critters. Good shootin.

I went back to the same spot friday morning and took 5 more from 195 yards out to 395 yards. I love this farm.

The first 5

I hit the other side of the farm on the way out and took one more.

This one was 300 yards, I love these 39 grain blitzkings
