Seasons bag, 2014

[Mortblanc]

Cleaning up for the growing season and looking at a new spring filled with chicken defense.

I just popped a groundhog back in the fence line. They can devastate a garden patch in no time.

He was about 75 yards out there, just far enough so that I heard the bullet thump after the report had faded. He did a back flip and ran off.

So much for the stopping power of a .22lr. I should have used one of the bigger rifles but it is Sunday morning and folks are probably sleeping in. Don't need the echoes of a high power rifle waking up the near dead and hung-over.

That is critter #1 for the new spring season.
