Roughing It
 

Below is a picture of what I consider "roughing it" in the Ground Hog field. I got permission to hunt this Fields the other night. I have been wanting to hunt this field for several years. I had pretty good shooting. I saw 6 and managed to kill 5 of them. I have had a good week, I shot 13 in a row until this evening, and added five more this evening, so know I have killed 18 in a row without a miss. This is my best streak ever. The shots were not very far, but what the he**. A streak is a streak.
By the way. Look at the size of the one in the middle. He was a monster. I did not weigh him, but I should have registered him in the :big ground hog" contest. He is one of the biggest ones I have ever shot. Tom.
Yearly total:
Sightings: 71
Shots: 65
Kills: 57
Misses: 8

good kills. thats a pretty nice set up you have. what kind of rifle is that? what size scope?

good shooting,I wish we had that many ground hogs around,I beleive all the farmers around here carry a gun and kill most of them when they are out working in the fields.It's good fun to kill them destructive rascals when you can find them and it looks like you have a honey hole.

The rifle is a Rock River Varminter with a Leupold 6.5X20X40 side focus 30mm tube, with the Varmint Hunter reticle. And I will glady say that the reticle works very well. You just need to practice with it(at least 200 rounds), until it becomes second nature. Tom.

Looks like a good spot to call coyotes, or you may have more fox out there I spose.
