COLD AND WINDY WITH A CHANCE OF DEATH FOR CHIZZLERS

The chizzler season has kind of started, early this year.  I was so anxious that Bounty Hunter 6 and I went up for a "hopeful" hunt on February 11th.  We were in 40º temperatures with a pretty good wind blowing.  We saw a few of the bravest chizzlers out and about.  We took aim and fired.  Bounty Hunter 6 has an AR-15 he built for just such sport with a stainless steel heavy barrel, a fine tuned after market trigger and a bi-pod.  It was wholesale destruction of varmints for him for about two and one half hours.

I am sorry to report we killed all the vermin we saw.  I don't think there are any left for seed.  Perhaps we ruined what could have been the longest and most productive chizzler season in decades -- I DOUBT IT !  We shot mostly .223 rounds as the little vermin were far from our shooting station.  The chizzler activity seemed to be between 100 and 250 yards from where ever we parked the truck.  I did get a few "sappers" that were trying to sneak in on us with my .22LR.  Now my juices are flowing and I want to get back to Iron County to hunt and help those in agriculture.  However, I have two projects to build, a house to sell, and a infinitely long list from the Supreme Commander to prepare the garden for spring planting in our very own agriculture, we manage about .00367 of an acre in tomatoes and zucchini.  I will post more news and photos as I can sneak away to hunt.
