Nuking gophers...GRAPHIC PICS

Went out on a gopher blast yesterday...used my .22 semi so much it finally would jam every second shot. So out came the Ruger .204 *Target* and started knocking gophers into the next time zone..(a piece at a time :D)
Two of us blasted between 600 to 800 dirt pigs in an 8 1/2 hr time span. I was armed with my "Go to .22" (Squires Bingham M20 semi with 30 rnd mag) and my Ruger M77 MkII *Target* in .204 using Hornady 32gr Vmax factory shells, topped with a Bushnell Elite 3200 5-15x40 on a "VersaPod" bipod.
Once I got the crosswind figured out I was hitting them at 180 yards giving them one gopher body width for windage.
WARNING...Moocho gore to be seen here. But I thought it was fun to watch the launches and red explosions through the scope

Can you believe it??? I've lost my "PhotoBucket" account due to violating their terms of service...I can only think it was due to the gopher pics.
I've emailed them for an explantion as to what I did wrong......we'll see.

Sad....

Good Lord...
PhotoBucket says, "Oops, we goofed...your account has been restored.
I kinda want to say something smarta$$ed back to them about being more attentive...but THAT might get my account deleted.
