I have just had a great fall big game hunting season. I should be looking at photos and eating elk steaks while smiling contently at my great fall harvest season. I did get a nice 78+ inch antelope buck and a spike elk with my son matching my effort in the Book Cliffs, that is 2 elk! I have had a great Thanksgiving with family and friends. Christmas was beautiful here in Southern Utah. Bright sunny days and grandkids playing in the yard. Lots of dark chocolate. I should be realizing I am super blessed to live the life I do with the great family and friends I have. I guess I do realize it, but I WANT TO HUNT CHIZZLERS.
I asked Bounty Hunter 6 to go with me out in the desert to practice shooting our chizzler rifles the other day. He quickly agreed. We even took one of Mr. Bob's out of moth balls and shot it for him. The rifles were spot on. We were able to hit paper targets and clay pigeons from 50 to 125 yards without a hitch. I had thought some target practice would ease my fever but alas I only made me more anxious to get out in the alfalfa fields of Iron County to shoot the famous "Chizzleramos Maximus Humori". Clay pigeons don't make that splat sound when you hit them with a .22LR or a .17 HMR round. Nor do clay pigeons do the break-dance of death when they are finalizing their earthly experience thanks to a well placed rimfire round. I was OK with emptying out some rounds down range. I just want more. You know more -- splatting sounds and more break dance of death entertainment.
We have had a mild winter in Southern Utah. I think the chizzlers will be out very early this spring. Last year Bounty Hunter 6 and I went to "scout" and ended up hunting in late February. I hope for the same this spring. I will keep you informed via the blog of all blogs.
