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:

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.
(http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee217/BrightwoodTurnings/hunting%20photos/Hogs008.jpg)
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.
(http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee217/BrightwoodTurnings/hunting%20photos/Hogs009.jpg)
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:
(http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee217/BrightwoodTurnings/hunting%20photos/Hogs010.jpg)
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.
Jerry
