Great shot! Nice pics.
 I tried g-hog once and didn't care for the taste but may have been the way it was prepared.

Yeah, but you have those copious ground squirrels.  :) Always a good thing about living somewhere else.  I think the same thing about not having prairie dogs or lots of coyotes.  Then I remember how much stuff we DO have to shoo.

Nice shot to the fuse box Jeff!  Very nice pics of the layout too.  I think I know this farm well now that I have seen so many pics.  I bet I can drive out there and find it, hehe.  
It's not easy shooting a Condor off-hand so good job!  I have a tough time shooting my Condors accurately off-hand.  Give me something to lean on and they 're all dead-on.  Ask me to stand up and shoot with no support and I 'll be 1/2" off target at 25yds moving the gun all over the place :)  I like shooting the 36 and 350 springers off-hand better than the AF guns for some reason.  Probably because of the design of the Condor(?)..    

Oh btw, I got a TT shroud a couple of days ago.  The long one for 24" AF barrels - same as you have on your Condor.  It's at least 2" longer than the Airhog ones I have.  I am not sure a Condor will fit in the 52" hardcase with it on now.  It probably will, but it will be a very tight fit I think because I have the Work-Butt on all 3 of them.  Tony was selling a new shroud on the TAG so I got a pretty good deal on it after I negotiated the price.  It fits both .22 and .25cal barrels, so my guess is so does yours, because he only makes 1 size/diameter shrouds from what he was telling me on the phone.  I will try it on and compare it to my other 2 Airhog shrouds.  If it's more quiet, I will use it on the .25 TT Condor, and put the Airhog one on the Lemak .25 Condor with the oak stock and start shooting it more.  Hopefully it will make its 1st kill this summer.  I have only shot it a few times because it sounds just like I 'm shooting .22LR hyper-velocity rimfire rounds (31gr Kodiaks @ >1,000fps).  The Airhog shrouds are supposedly not interchangable between .22 & .25cal, so I guess I have both kinds, and now a 3d one from TT!  When does it end?!?!  :o  :D

Awesome story & pics Jeff
I wish we had those hogs in cal.
Or maybe I have just never seen any.
I remember seeing some in Michigan when I
was back there.
I like how you took us from the tunning to the dinner plate.
Thanks
Matthew
