Set up Day…


Up at zero dark 30, we all met for breakfast, then it was scatter to the four winds and start “doing” things…


We went out to the range and worked the basic layouts, pistol range, rifle range, long distance range…


This is a look back from the 750 yard target to the shooting line (the little white dot in the middle is a white Yukon).





And since this IS the country, you do get ‘visits’ by Mr. No Shoulders…





And he was PISSED! Β Little 4 foot bull snake and he was striking like there was no tomorrow…


We spent a little time doing prairie dog eradication, but the wind pretty much kicked all our asses, we only got 2-3 confirmed kills, and a couple of hair parts πŸ™‚


And this IS big sky country





Dinner was superb as always, the ladies and Farm Fam outdid themselves as always, and Sci-Fi and his lovely wife brought Lobsters (not the normal fare in this neck of the woods by any means)…


And tomorrow we get to enjoy the fruits of our ‘labors’…Β

  1. So what is the law regarding snakes over there? Can you “take affirmative action”?

    [one of the more stupid laws for Australia – land of 8 out 10 of the most deadly snakes in the world – is that it is illegal to kill or maim them. Such action may result in “hefty fines and/or imprisonment”]
