Sage Rat Fun !!!!
Just got back from a great trip of Sage Rat shooting had really good weather the babies where just coming out our last day we had some new shooters so it was really fun watching there reactions to exploding critters
Heres some photos to share my camera only works good on close shots so thats what I got just close pics
This one is a bloody mess split into 2
This one is exploded all over the screen look for all the little chunks spread out that 40 grain vmax does the trick
Hes soaring to great heights

Re: Sage Rat Fun !!!!
Great pics of "Skippy's" flying lessons. Like you guys, I just love this time of year. Spring is my favorite season! I've had to back off of some shooting so I can keep up with reloading, so I will be ready for next week. With 3 varmint rigs on one trip, it takes a little time to catch back up for the next trip.

Re: Sage Rat Fun !!!!
I'd imagine spring is the worst time of the year for these critters...

Re: Sage Rat Fun !!!!

Re: Sage Rat Fun !!!!
Great pictures. Makes my trigger finger itchy. I have had too many boring things that had to be done this spring. Glad to hear that you are doing so well, save some for me!
Please, no Sidewinder today!

Re: Sage Rat Fun !!!!
My season is probably done I got 3 trips in this year so I am happy I have a .204 with a shot up barrel and prior commitments that will end my season

Re: Sage Rat Fun !!!!
many thoughts go into your great pictures,
I have killed: Ground Squirrels, Columbia Ground Squirrels, Beldings Ground Squirrels, but I have never killed "Flying squirrels" in open fields like you have!
They must be genetic mutations from an Atomic test back in the 40's?
Good job and great pics.
