Dinh,Paul & Jeff, Thanks for the comments! And , thanks to my "Post(s) creator Randall. ( Don't he do a FINE job ;D? ). The birds were taken w/ my Kral Np03.
The two G-hogs were taken a couple days apart from the same field with the new .25 Stoeger Ranger. Birds ranged at 15 yards. 'Hogs were 43(pup) & 30yrds
for the adult (male). The big guy was spotted way out, ranged at 160+yards. I was heading in before the rain hit & it was on the way , so it was like a safari
stalk through an overgrown pasture w/ some trees & brush as cover . Nailing it at that close range was the highlight of the day ( this old guy isn't much for the
commando GI crawl these days :P ) as I was able to even set my stool up & use my bipod beside a thorn apple for the shot(s), It moved just as I took the first
so I had to do another for a finisher.

Wow....we are going to have to start calling you... BIG Haul Marty. ;)
Good Work dealing death and destruction to all the vermin and pests.
Best Wishes - Tom

;D Tom, I've actually had that said to me by a former co-worker! ;D I'm awaiting the first cutting of hay fields , I know the Ghogs must have a firm hold on their
dens , and the farmer's hay cutter will take a beating! I took out 3 'hogs yesterday that were impossible to retrieve (W/o a backhoe!) , the holes were 3-4ft deep
& angled that I couldn't reach them! Told to the farmer I'd came back today w/ my shovel to fill them in.

Big haul today! Took out 2 nutters and 2 chippers within a span of 10min, with the trusty Pinty Pup! Almost had a third nutter, but it wouldn't stay still.
Also, neutralized a nutter yesterday, after work.

Dinh , while talking w/ a farmhand at the farm today , chippers were running around the old flower beds by the deserted milkhouse , climbing up & down concrete
block walls like little SpiderMan(s) . I did take one that came from under the house & headed toward the garage later, while watching for a Ghog. I popped several
starlings that were entering/exiting a tipped metal chimney cap ( think Tin Man; Wizard of Oz)w/ my Kral NP03. I positioned on the Toyota hood on a bag w/ the
window open to switch between the Stoeger Ranger.25 & the rat gun. I did pull off a 61yrd shot on a 'hog. It's tail flagged a good kill shot , but it kicked into a
down-slope escape hole just a few feet away :o :( .

Sorry, Marty, I meant to post in the pest thread.
