As some of you may have read in the lounge my little bro and i entered the Teton County gopher shoot yesterday. We took 2nd place with 102 tails. Totals were way down from last year as we brought back 197 tails and took 4th place. 1st place team last year brought back 227 tails and 1st place this year brought 147 or something like that. Most of the teams got rained and snowed on most of the day saturday. My girlfriend and i shot about 600 gophers at our ranch in two days over spring break. Im thinking that had something to do with our turn out for the gopher shoot this year but i think the main problem was that it was just too wet. A couple weeks ago they got 4 feet of snow at the ranch and it is all gone now but every little low spot has water in it.Overall we did shoot about 300 saturday but lost most of them down the hole and never got them out to cut off the tails. But here is the pics guys!!!!!!!! ENJOY!

They're fun to hunt!

I shot one over Easter Break while out shooting .22s and shotguns with some buddies. Popped it with the entrance hole right behind the right shoulder and the exit just in fron of the left ham!

I love .22s!
