Ha Mutt, That Groundhog is in Longhair's front yard. Looks like 820 yards. Give it about 80 clicks up or 20 MOA OF ELEVATION. Wind about 6 clicks left.

I'll tell you what guys, that was some kind of awesome hog hunting. Longhair, you are in big trouble buddy. There is a new sheriff in town and he is going to take away your long standing title. Ha Ha.
-
Muttbuster, I'm worried you may not get the shot off in time. The hog will spook from the shine on Earl's head. ;D LongHair has his mellon all covered up.........Tim
-
Earl will be wearing his Wyoming "shaggy" outfit. Totally concealed with the new and improved "go glare" cotton head gear.

Well then go get'em. Wish you all the luck in the world.........Tim

Hey Mutt, looks like you need some "lubracation" !!!!!! ;D
-
I know you like it Longhair, but you will never be able to paint your gun to match Earls. It's the "purple hog eater". One of a kind.
-
I can see why earl uses that fancy rest........20 pounds !!!!!!!! :o There ain't no way I'd be lug'n that monster around just to shoot a hog. Guess we know where you're gonna be this week, in the gym work'n out. Sorry brother, my gun is "black". ;D (and a whole lot cheaper) ;)
-
20 lb guns help build strong bodies 12 ways George. It takes a 20 lb gun to kill a 20 lb hog. So that means we win! Ha Ha Ha.
-
I guess MB is a fan of Barney from the looks of that gun.
-
You have to be secure in your manhood to shoot a purple gun. I am and I still shoot earth tones.

Tried to shoot several groundhogs yesterday at around 1400 yards. After 40 shells we gave up. We did blow dirt into his face several times.
We also ran out of clicks in the scope. Gun went back to my gunman for new bases so i can get more adjustment out of scope. LOL
By the way the bullet drops about 800 inches (66 feet) at that yardage. The wind kills you at that distance. If it was a deer we were shooting at
1400 yards it would have been in trouble. A groundhog is on 18 inches by 4 inches standing. WHAT FUN. About 1700 yards is 1 mile.
Yep. Used the purple gun.

I like Barney, he's a cool dude. Very educational as well. I keep watching for him in the woods but he is too good. 100% nocturnal.
-
T.O. You better give longhair a "trim" before next Saturday because if his hair gets in his eyes there is no telling how many sets of cross hairs he might see. Make sure you are always standing behind him.
-
Now that's at least a two fold purpose for the hair.......natural camo and to swat the flies. The beard.........well.......when I retired I threw all the shaving stuff in the trash. Never did like to shave and now it's just "natural" camo. Although, when I went to the ZZ top concert and we were tailgating in the parking lot, one guy asked "why aren't you up on stage". ;D BTW, I've had my hair"trim" for the year. Next one is in the spring. ;)

all i can say about you guys long range shooting is
indian make small fire and sit close
cowboy work azz off make big fire set far.
many a hog are killed with rimfires.
-
T.O. Shad Lure Tackle shop in West Elizabeth is having a catfish contest that runs till the end of the month. Biggest cat wins $20.00 and a very nice wall plaque. The leader at this point is a 9 lb flathead. I went last night but no luck. If you can beat the leader you win. Where are all the big boy cats?
-
TrophiesOnly. You need a sewercam after you shoot them with a rimfire.

If you did not know, the original guy that played Barney was a, well porn star.

How did you know that?

When I was a criminal justice student in college it was one of the topics we discussed.

Dave, are you trying to tell me that "Barney" is an ex-con? I'm horrified just thinking about it. Such a nice purple dude, "thing" it's true you can't tell a book by it's cover.
-
The Barney we see now is a new guy.
-
No way Dave, you can't change the spots on a Barney.
