Here's my 1st of the year. A smaller female probably 7lbs. 17HMR with a 17gr V-Max to the boiler room. The building was too close for the XTP's so I used the more explosive V_Max. About 50yds.

Thanks for all the nice things you said about my Wife. Now I don't have to let her on here to give you all hell.  :laf:

I tell ya I'm so proud of her. She grew up in a nice Family with no guns anywhere near her. A couple years ago she said she wanted to do some target shooting. Well who was I to say no to her. I started her on RF's then moved her up to the 221 then the 204. I'm very lucky I ahve her & she really is a helluva shot. And CCP is more than Welcome to put her on a coyote anytime.  :yoyo:

I'm gonna try to smoke a couple with the muzzle loader this year Jerry!!  :yoyo:

#1 was 120yds with the 17HMR & a 20gr XTP. It fell down in the hole but I could see where Mrs HaMeR blew one eyeball out of it's head!!  :yoyo:

#2 was 97yds with the 221FireBall & a 50gr BK. We waited a while on this one. 1st sighting had him silhoutted on the top of the hill. We waited for the old girl to come down so we had a back stop.  :biggrin: Shot in the ear & when I got to pokin around on the noggin it sounded like a bag of gravel in there.  :laf:

I went to the River Runner skule of speeling, after 3 yures, Ima reden at a 3erd grate levvel.  :biggrin:

Dianne,

Good shooting!!

Jim

Thanks fellas!!  :biggrin:

Diane says Thanks too!!  :biggrin:

We got back out after the rain yesterday for a little while. I shot one with the 221FireBall at 170yds. No video on that one since it was raining. We left that field & went to the next. This is where we got into them Family style.  :eyebrow:  The hole on the right held Momma & a little one. The left hole held 2 younguns. In the 1st video I'm using the 17HMR & the 20gr XTP's. Shots were under 100yds so the RF never came out. I would guess 65yds.

Momma taken one for the team.  :eyebrow:

In this video a young one came out of the left hole & went left. The other young one came out of the right hole & went left also. I tried to smoke the right one then HaMeR the left one right away but the little bugger literally dove head first back into the hole.  :laf:

Finally got back out to do some hoggin. Here's one by Diane with the 17HMR & 17gr V-Max. Might have been 80yds.

And the victim.
(http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee217/BrightwoodTurnings/hunting%20photos/Hogs007.jpg)

Diane was using the ol ot4 when this one came out at about 70yds. The audio on this video lets you know all the particulars.

Here's the victim.

And the carnage shot after I rolled it over. It's tongue was 4 feet behind it.   :hahaha: Feel free to delete this one if necessary.

Here's a little one that tried to encroach our perimeter @ the 9 o'clock. A 17gr V-Max from the HMR left a golfball size exit wound in it's neck. Looks about like a size 10 slipper.  :roflmao: :roflmao:

Are you guys in your yard, or do you have a piece of land you go to or..??

That looks like a lot of fun, good shooting, congrats to the wife for being a good shot.  :congrats:  :highclap:  :yoyo: cc

 :yoyo: :yoyo: WTG!! Glad your getting out... :eyebrownod:

Glen,

I think it is time that you admit that you can't shoot and everything that has come to an end as the result of a bullet or shot was done by DIANE.  But I will say that you are pretty good with a camera.

Jerry

We have a bunch of crop &  hay fields we shoot them out of. We just met another Farmer this week that needs em shot too.  :biggrin:

Thanks for all the nice comments. Diane enjoys it & she was taught how to shoot by me.  :yoyo:  She clocked one at 189yds this evening while I was out walking around with the HMR. No video on that one cuz she didn't want to mess with everything by herself. But we walked out & got the pic of it with it's ,,,,,,, well it was wrecked too!!!  :eyebrownod:

Now I will believe that when Diane joins FnF and says it for herself.   :wink:   We all know that Annie Oakley (also from OHIO Todd) taught her men to shoot.

 :sad3: :sad3:  HACKDAMMIT Jerry!!! You promised you wouldn't tell anybody on here!!!  :argh: :argh:
