After talking with my good buddy Gene this morning on the forum I planned on sighting in my new scope from leftcoast1 up in my shooting range loft. The rain atlast took a break after three day's so you know where I headed, to my hunting ground's. Camo'd and loaded up with the B26-2.177 and a Predator chambered and ready I headed out. I made it through the wet field's and upon reaching the grove all was silent except for the relaxing sound of the rain water dripping from the tree's so I began my stalk. With the ground being wet it made for a silent walk, no dry forest duff to give me away and it paid off. I was resting against a tree scanning every other tree for movement when he appeared from a deadfall hole . I slowly slid down the tree and watched him work his way down the log and that's when he stopped to look for possible danger. It was alittle to late for that, had the yardage set, crosshair's where the should be and safety off. On impact he threw himself on his back and rolled of the log and expired on the spot. With a wet bottom from sitting hehe I got up and stepped out the yard's to dinner, thirtysix and as the pic show's the Predator didn't leave nothing to chance. He's now resting in my icebox waiting for dinner.};) Ed

Thank's Jason, the rain's been real steady the last few day's but when it broke I knew what I had do. Airgun project on hold and out the door.:) Ed

Nice shooting bud those Predator pellets sure do a good paint job I like it so much that I have been trying to get over here having a little trouble at the moment but Hunting & Fishing are trying their best.

Way to go Ed,
I know that cabin fever pain, I have had it for the past 9 years !
Great shootin as always, beautiful baby there sittin over your dinner, and great photo of the two of them together..
Have you ever tried tying hides around your feet, or putting two or three heavy pair of socks over your boots ? It really quiet the noise of leaves !
