Saturday

Ok. So I get home from work Saturday afternoon & set down for lunch. Once that is all packed away the conversation turns to "Do you want to go look for a couple groundhogs?" Which translated means "I'm ready to go & you're driving".

So off we go to one of our killing fields. As we slowly rise over the crest in the gravel road & bear down on the field opening we see this one standing up. So I pull in & stay in the truck as the Huntress gets out of the opposite side. She gets her chair, mono pod & rifle all set up. I grab the camera & set it on video. Just as I'm zooming in on the re-emerged subject I hear this tell tale "crack" from the 221FireBall. Another head shot hog.

So I drag myself outta the truck & grab my trusty 17HaMeR & head across the front side checking for activity as Diane goes up thru the middle of the field to set & watch for a hog I seen out back a couple days earlier. I don't get 300yds from the truck when I hear the same report as I heard merely minutes ago. The Huntress spied a little one about 35yds across the small ravine. In thru the chest & out it's back. #2 down down!!

LOL! Thats Bull%#&*. She can start driving herself.

I have given this considerable thought and Glen I hate to be the one to break this news to you, BUT Diane is just using you. If you didn't have a rifle (that she can use), ammo (that she can shoot), a vehicle (that you can drive her to the killing fields), and bought a camera (for hero shots of her kills) you would be living in trailer down by the river.

Don't I know it!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess I should just be happy like she tells me to be cause I'm married to her.

We were at the grocery store checkout one day & I just happened to sneeze. The polite cashier quickly said "Bless You". And since I didn't want to be outdone by her quick wit & politeness I simply said,, "I was blessed the day this Lady married me!!"

I think The Huntress threw up in her mouth a little that day.

The Huntress' Sunday adventures.

We didn't see anything in the 1st hay field so we drove to the next one down the road. I jumped out & Diane drove to the other end. After I missed one & shot one we met up on top of the hill. Diane seen one down in the ravine too far away for her M2 so she had me setup on it. After a few minutes I decided to get a better vantage point. But alas it never showed itself again. But as I'm setting there with the breeze blowing I looked 200yds down the hill & seen 2 more. I whistled to get the Huntress' attention & gave her some hand signals. She followed them well but couldn't get closer than 60yds. Undeterred she steadied on a round bale & let a 17gr'er fly from the little M2. I had a birdseye view from 200yds away thru my scope set on 9 & watched that groundhog just crumple!!

My view. The Huntress is next to the bales on the left side & the groundhog was out at the last big tree.

1 shot & dropped on the spot!!

Shot of the day me thinks!!

Her last hog of the weekend was a little one by the hay bale that she shot the one off of earlier in this post. No more than 40yds with the M2 once again. Aint they just the cutest little things when they're sleeping!!

July 4th.

I had Diane walk down to those bales in the above pic again knowing there were still 2 along those trees. I went up the hill & had her hold back til I could see if anything was out yet. It was all clear so I waved her along. Halfway to her spot a small one ambled up outta the hole.

So I whistled & let her know what was up. She made it to the end of the bales before she could see the little bugger. It sat up & gave her time to get her chair & monopod ready. At which point she drilled it with the Mighty M2. This one was at the nearest end of the trees. Mighta been 20yds.

Sweeeet!

Good shootin Ms. D!
Glen, you better hope she does not take a fancy to your .17 H2, otherwise you may lose another rifle?

I picked off a young one out of HH1 yesterday. -No.6 for the year. First one out of the Honey Holes? My desk top computer crapped out on me, and this old lap top does not seem to want to work with Photobucket? So I can't post any photos at this time. Meantime, you two keep after them.

Yeah she's a stone cold killer for sure!! I wish a coyote would come her way sometime!!

She done got the FireBall Dave!! I guarantee you right here in writing she will have to pry that HMR from my cold dead hands to get!! Now that doesn';t mean I won't let her carry it from time to time tho. Besides,, she has her own HMR she never uses.

We're up to 10 each this year & we both have either a few missed shots or crawlers that got away. As of now I hold the tiebreaker that she isn't aware of.

Besides,, she's cheating me on the body count. It must be true the scorekeeper always wins.

Glad to know the HH's are still producing. Albeit hit & miss they are still out there attracting potential vermin targets!!
