Whistle pig season
« on: February 14, 2011, 07:43:25 PM »
So with fur season wrapping up pretty directly there is another season many that hunt predators also take part in.  And that's ground hogs.  This morning at 7 when I was on my way home I noticed that there was a groundhog out in the field eating grass.  Then on the way home there was one in the field close to home.  So who is ready to fling some lead at some whistle pigs?

I'm ready for groundhogs and ready for some nicer weather...I have a TC Encore pistol in 22-250.  I've got it dead on at 200 yds.  I really can't wait.

I want to do some experimentation with 20 grain HP 17 cal.. Now not 20 Grain Vmax.. 20 Grain HP that is available from Midway...
Now the chucks would be a good start to see what the little 20 grain HP does to them..Might decide to change the bullet in my fox gun for next year from 25 grainer to a 20 grain HP..  I could see myself sometime in March out there hunting chucks and using the E. Wilson shooting rest.

You better get the heck out there this year, some people kinda like the name Ground Hog King. But maybe it is just the King part of the name they like. But why tell you that, you remember how it can be with a robe and crown on waveing to people up and down main street.

Leglifter,
The first "king" got a trophy and he still has it.  ::) As for the other stuff,robe.....a stained sheet,crown...burger king repo'd it, and the scepter.....some "jackwagon" swiped it and used it for a shoot'n stick. ;D I guess you're gonna have to make your own outfit. I got the king sunglasses,although "lil goose" though that they were gay when I wore them to the expo. (a real chip off the "old" crock.........er block !!!!!!! ;))

Hey Leglifter....Long tail had to go to "Omar the tent maker" for the robe to be made.. :D...and the stains he put on it are questionable to say the least.. :o.."Lil Goose" did say that he wasn't making a fashion statement with those glasses... ::)

yeah yeah I noticed that,
I didn't want to respond to it and discourage the young lad.

Goose, I'm sure I have an old boat tarp around here that I can whip into a fine robe
