Fella's;

I went gopher shooting yesterday. I'd met the patriarch
of one of the old-line local families this past new
year's eve. I'd mentioned that I liked to shoot gophers
& he said he'd get ahold of me. Well, yesterday
afternoon he showed up at the house unannounced & said to
c'mon, time to shoot gophers. I didn't expect much, but
also wasn't going to pass up the opportunity.

We hopped in his Polaris & trundled down the highway,
which gave me a major case of the "willies". This thing
was good for about 35 mph top end & the road frequently
has loaded double-bottom semi's on it bookin' for
oblivion. No rear view mirror either. Every once
in a while he'd ask me to look out the back & see if
something was coming. Be still my fragile heart!

Nonetheless, we lived to get to his place, maybe five
miles down the road & off the limestone cap our place is
on. It wasn't the Dana place, but it sure wasn't too bad
either! I got maybe 80 gophers in a couple of hours
shooting. Probably went through close to 200 rounds of
ammo. I find that my eye surgery has affected my
shooting to some degree. I find it much harder to pick
up a gopher when I transition from naked eyes to scope.
All I can say is that it seems the angles are different.
That's not a big surprise, I first noticed this when I
shot some pool. I'm just going to have to shoot more to
get dialed in again. Oh the pain!

So, there's a gopher town only five miles from the ranch,
and it's well populated. Things are looking up this
year.
