I had a early day today so I headed out to my favorite spot, the grove. I hadn't had the Gamo Hunter 220.22 out in awhile so I grabbed her and a tin of Predators. As I was headed out back when I looked up at roof on my barn garage and noticed a ring neck dove making a home on my yardlight. Now that's where all the poop came from hehe, it was eating the finish of my yardlight, birdpoop has a high acidity to it. Well this had to be stopped so I loaded a Predator, put the crosshair's on his back and dropped him pronto. Dove season is open too so I picked up the fat fella, cleaned him quicklike and into the fridge. Now I'm headed back out, didn't make it, I look out the kitchen window and there's a treerat sitting on my fence post which is about 25yrds from my laundryroom window. Into the laundryroom, crank open the window, load another Predator and at that point he turn's away from me so I place the crosshair's on the back of his head at about the neck area and sent him a Predator. He flip's off the fence post and drop's....Dead!. Good eating tonight. Ed

Good shooting.  I don't know which place I want to hunt more - your grove or Jeff's duck farm.  Both places are loaded with game.  Enjoy your dinner.
