Most everything is closed to hunting here so you have to make do... Decided to head out to the Meadow Country and get some small game hunting in.

We have a huge problem with these small ground squirrels - they are "HE Double Hockey Sticks" on new trees in a forest plantation and the cattle men hate them for all the holes they create in/on the open range. Doesn't seem to bother the older cows but the youger ones go nuts every once in awhile and run around like kids... until one steps in a ground squirrel hole on the run.
The other fact... there are not enough hunters to controll them - they love the meadows and new plantations around the meadows..

I normally use a Mark II 17HMR, but the 22 LR CCI Stinger ammo is much cheaper - not as explosive but they do the job.
But what fun..
