QUICK TRIP BUT . . . LOTS OF FUN.

Bounty Hunter 6 is in town for just a few days in between fighting fires.  He took me to lunch Tuesday and we had a great conversation.  I asked if he would like to go hunt some chizzlers just for a short time in the morning and of course he said "YES!"  He is one of two guys that like to hunt the little varmints more than I do.  The next morning we took off on a quick trip to Iron County to see what damage we could do to prevent alfalfa crop shrinkage from the chizzlers and help the farmers make more money.

We arrived in a good location at 9:10 a.m. and set up two squirrel-o-matics in the back of my truck.  We started to shoot almost immediately.  We fired for about 2 hours and then the critters kind of were "shot out".  Bounty Hunter 6 had fired just over 100 rounds and I had fired maybe 75 rounds.  As I looked over the target area for Bounty Hunter 6 there were dozens of bodies in various poses of death at distances from 10 yards to 175 yards.  The wind started to really blow and even the birds, e.g. crows = 'nature's undertakers', were not flying due to the wind.  We packed up and headed home.

The short hunt was do to the fact that I had work to do and Bounty Hunter 6 had to get ready for another round of flying to keep California from totally burning up.  My best shots of the day were at three big old crop destroyers at 160 yards.  Not bad if I do say so myself for a little .22 L.R.
