I have been hunting chizzlers lots lately. I went on three different mornings with my son last week and the first of this week. I went with my pals this morning. I have fired about 600 rounds of .22L.R. at chizzlers over the last 11 days in four trips. I calculate I have connected with my intended targets about 50 - 60% of the time. Is this too much of a good thing?
NO, I don't think so!
I have done my best, to do my duty, to help the farmers in Iron County, Utah. I have "plooped", flopped, and bounced vermin all over the fields. The little critters seem to just keep coming. The crows and the raptors {nature's undertakers} are getting so fat they just waddle around the fields. I doubt they can even fly with their heavy load of chizzler meat built up in their "pot-guts". I have taken chizzlers at ranges of from 20 yards to 142 yards. I have taken them with no wind and with wind gusts in the 20 MPH range. I have taken them in a hurry to beat my pal Bounty Hunter 6, and I have taken them slowly when they are just giving me a head shot target. I have taken no prisoners.
The majority of the varmints taken in the last two trips were about 85% males. I think the females are down their burrows and are having the next wave of baby varmints. I will have to sharpen my skills for the tiny varmints. Even though, the tiny varmints are rather dumb they present a really small target to hit. Smaller than a golf ball.
Am I having too much fun? NO, I don't think so.
