Went out today to glass some fields at one of my hunting spots. Saw a few deer, nothing great - found two fawns that got mowed when he took the hay off and saw 2 scrub bucks working along a wood edge.I also caught3 longbeards about 1000 yards away on the next ridge working across a hayfield.

Took a Maxim magazine and spent the day walking the fields, shooting some groundhogs and generally relaxing.

I wound up going 8 for 10 on hogs, missed one at 350 twice. Everything else was sub-200 yarders. Chipshots for the Savage.

Some pictures:

Hog Heaven.




Here's a little "Before" shot. Not gonna lie - this was not an easy picture to take. Probably 5-10 attempts before I got it right. He's just laying outside his hole, soaking up some shade - dialed in at 32x. Not sure why, but the digital image makes my crosshairs look weird.




...and every good "Before" picture needs an "after" shot.
