 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. ;)

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.

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.
