They are everywhere today! 70 degrees out they are verywhere. Just have to ask a rancher. Its pretty hard to find them on public land.

From what I saw this weekend (and heard from guy around the state), it is KILLER!

500+ rounds/ day. Mass carnage. It was awesome :smile:

I just got back from Crane and it was pretty good. Two days between four guns well over 1500 rounds between us. When the sun was out you couldn't shoot fast enough.

Was in Crane also. When the sun was out, it was great. When the sun wasn't out, it was poor. I think with the wind blowing, it keeps them down. Not a bad shoot though. Shot 100's of rounds.

I've been going for a lot of years, but I can't understand why people use the bench with wind gauges and things of that nature.

Seems a litte crazy to me. What's wrong with freehand shooting???????

Oh no, not another "why do you do it that way..." post.

I use a bench. I use shooting sticks. I shoot off-hand. I even shoot 'em with my .22 pistol and iron sights. But dang it, I don't use a sling-shot so I must not be a real hunter/shooter.

The deal is I was havin' sooooo much fun I didn't even notice what the other guys were usin'. What a blast! (literally)

That's the truth...So many rats and so many ways to kill them. I am heading over East in a couple days, around the Burns area. I am taking a little of everything including my bow with blunts. I am taking my AR-15 for coyotes too and may affix bayonets if they get too crazy...those rats!!!

After spending 5 days hunting "Rats", I am convinced that the only way to win the battle is to call in a "tactical nuclear air strike".

The rats are taking over the entire eastern half of our state. I say, "nuke 'em all". Lol!

Oh yeah, that's not PC in this day and age.

How about just asking them politely not to eat every blade of alfalfa in Oregon and hope they will see it our way. He He!
