About Me

With no chance for success, you would not hunt. Without the prospect of failure hunting would have no merit. I don't hunt to kill, I kill because I hunt. Remember a moderate hit is lots more effective than a high powered miss. Best of luck.

I'M SICK AS A DOG BUT STILL WELL ENOUGH TO GO CHIZZLER HUNTING !

 I have my semi-annual cold and I am rather miserable.  I have a cough, stuffy nose, and almost a straight grain headache.  Bounty Hunter 6 called me when I was leaving the Dr. office at 10:00 a.m. and asked when I wanted to go hunt some chizzlers?  In between weazes and coughs I said, "In about 1 hour."  I went home, grabbed my gear and went for the ride to Iron County to help out our agricultural friends.

I was shooting my .223 Rem. most of the time and Bounty Hunter 6 shot his cute little CZ .17HMR.  We did our duty !  We shot for about two and one half hours then started home.  We had a great conversation on the way up and back, with sweet remembrances of chizzlers launched into the air by projectiles up to twenty feet high.  I never thought agricultural "work" could be so fun.  Physically, I still feel crappy but had a great time.  I could have been sick at home watching Oprah on TV or I could have shot about 100 chizzlers and been just as sick.  Bounty Hunter 6 shot about the same number of chizzlers so all-in-all we saved maybe 1/2 ton of hay this morning.

OTHER NOTE:  My son and his son went turkey hunting Saturday and did it up right.  check out the photos --
