Default good deed and a surprise at the range

I finally got to the range today. showed up, the place was a wreck. boxes and all other kinds of trash. there was only one person there to clean it up. so I helped out before I started shooting. felt good to help out.

while shooting. had this little one walk up on me.

Its good to see fawns out eating green grass. All they have to eat in most of OK is dead grass. Looks like a nice range too, US Forest Service owned, no less.

nice job on your part corey. Funny they don't have a range master there on weekends to police the range.

It's a free public range in the National forest. They don't have a range master anytime. It's up to you to police yourself. I know this because I recognize the pictures as I've been there quite a bit.

That said, that's awesome to see those pictures. I've been there a lot, but never seen a deer there.

Trap league starts this Thursday.

Every year deer browse just out of range from the shot. Actually, they look like they'd be showered with shot but they must be just out of range or they don't mind lead shower.

4 traps and 20 guns blazing away... no worries. It's sight to see.
