We went up to Iron County and found a few old pals, Bounty Hunter 6, Mr. Bob, et.al, in a good field laying waste to vermin de jour. We greeted them and then went to the north about a mile to not be in their way. We set up the squirrel-o-matic on a circular pivot irrigated field and started to do our duty to protect agricultural profits. NOTE: The Supreme Commander grew up on a cattle ranch in Idaho and is well accustomed to the problems of finding profit in agriculture. She doesn't have an issue at all with reaping chizzlers to increase alfalfa yields.
For the first 15 or 20 minutes the S. C. was having a tough time seeing the little rascals. They are indeed well camouflaged. Unless they are moving, at times they seem to disappear. Finally, we {she} got the vermin in the 3-9X scope. We started laying waste to them. There was not really much conversation due to the quantity of targets presenting themselves. We shot .22LR rifles with scopes and were shooting pretty much as fast as we could load magazines. We shot for about 2 1/2 hours going through about 500 rounds of ammo. and I said "maybe it is time to roll up and leave". She quickly and specifically said "I am not ready to leave yet". She was having a great time. We shot for about another hour. Finally we were at the point were the chizzlers were thinning out. We decided to take a couple of photos and head home.
It was fun to be with my #1 girl and hunt for awhile. I highly recommend it. We will go again soon.
