Today was set up for another raid on the G-hog's so I went to the ol gunrack and decided to bring out the CFX.22. She hadn't seen some action in awhile so she was begging to go hunting. On arriving at the G-hog's hangout I got setup in my leafy hide and with a Predator loaded it was just a matter of time. A hour had passed when I caught movement on the varment trail forty yard's out and it was coming my way. I played the bush and raised up the CFX to scope out the visiter,when he froze. Well she was up and ready to take something but that ain't no G-hog!, a nutter and he must had caught the flash of the lense. Safety off, he turned for a nice side profile so I placed the crosshair's and laser on his little ol eye and sent the Predator to it's mark. The impact laid him out with just a quiver and tail shake so I emerged from my blind and stepped out some yard's, 32 and the Predator struck him in his eye and removed it as the round exited out the other side of his skull. He was bleeding out fast so I grabbed em and setup for a pic which he continued to bleed in hehehe and after he was dressed out and now rest in the fridge waiting for supper.:) After the shot I figured that any G-hog within range had heard the shot and are laying low for a spell so I will head back out later to see what's moving around. My baby performed like I knew she would and was very happy to get out and stretch her hunting leg's.:) Ed

It,s just darn GOOD for Ya!! As I said before,, GREAT to hear your doing better!! ALWAYS look forward to your posts Buddy,,, Tim. P.S.,, was gonna send Ya a PM,,but,, Ill ask you here,, What ever happened to our "Lil Buddy"?? I called him "Hopper",, You were leaning towards "Boots" for his name cause he seemed to like hiding in your boots. Taking in that little "Bunny" the way you did speaks volumes about the kind of person you are Ed,, others here may have forgotten your act of kindness,,,,, I NEVER forget things like that. Just was wondering?? Tim.

Thank's so much guy's and Tim "Boot's" dat rascaly rabbit is still around hehehehe. I've had to make him a pen in my shop though and put him out there when we go out etc.. He like's to chew on just about everything in the house and it drives the wife nut's lol. Just get a dog or something she say's !, boot's follow's me around everywhere.:) Now if I can get him to flush out game in the wood's, maby not, he might become supper for another varment. Ed
