Title: Opening Day Nutters! ( now 3 )
Post by: dk1677 on September 01, 2015, 07:56:18 AM
Should be a good year as they are all over. Caught this guy early in the apple tree with the Disco and a hunter extreme at 30yds.   Entered the back and exited the upper chest with a nose dive.                                                                                                       (http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb138/dk1677/N19115_zpsbacblte3.jpg) (http://s210.photobucket.com/user/dk1677/media/N19115_zpsbacblte3.jpg.html)

Great shooting, Dave.  Your season must have opened about five minutes ago; what took you so long!   ;)   


I still have a month to wait and watch.

Nice shooting Dave!  That looks like a bad landing. 

It looks like you took him minutes after the season opened and the sun came up.
I am with Mike, what took you so long?  We were betting it would take you seconds after sunrise, not minutes.  ;D

Thank you guys! Just got another at 40yds ( where the chippers come out) behind the ear with the Disco and a hunter extreme. Yes Harry I was ready ;D long spring and summer    :D                               (http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb138/dk1677/N210115_zpsb6fnj7eu.jpg) (http://s210.photobucket.com/user/dk1677/media/N210115_zpsb6fnj7eu.jpg.html)

I took 2 of the long tailed rats with single shots to the head causing instant death at 44 and 48 yds. A buzzard quickly flew in and was on the distant fella before i could get to him and then 3 deer waltzed thru the back yard.....a zoo today

Update .....just dropped my 3rd of the day under the bird feeder. dropped like a dead fly. Zero movement. 40 yds

11 more days for me, the only problem is it opens the same day as grouse season! Dilemas, dilemas!
