Layin' the smackdown on prairie dogs!!!

Well, some of our friends, the undersheriff Bill, and his son Garrett, came out today to go p-dog shootin. : ) It was a BLAST!! I got Bill's Howa .22-250 after some looooong ones! I shot on at about 350 yards. It was so much fun!







After several hours and lots of dead dawgs, we headed back to the house where Mom had fixed us some AWESOME Buffalo backstraps!

Thanks for looking!

BUFFALO!!!

Well,I haven't posted for a while because we've been busy! We've been trying to get to go to a ranch that has buffalo across the river and shoot one for meat for several months. Last week,the rancher called and she said it was now or never because she was gonna be busy after that day! We jumped in the F350 and roared over there! It's in an absolutley gorgeous spot in the Missouri River breaks. We got there,jumped in her pickup and drove to where the buffalo were. We got over and picked one out,it was probably a 2 year old bull. She said for Dad to shoot him whenever he got the shot. Dad then dropped him with his .30-06! We drove right up to him and started to gut him. Here are some pics...
They're an awesome animal!! We got back to the ranch house,loaded him into our pickup,hosed him,put ice in him,drank a coke and went home to butcher him! We go home late,so we decided to just butcher him in the morning.
We've been having great food!!






Thanks for lookin'!

Two toms down for the count!!!

Hey y'all!
Yesterday we got home from town around one o'clock. Mom was out hanging up clothes on the line when she said she heard and saw some turkeys gobbling!! Me and Dad jumped in our camo,grabbed our guns,jumped in the Toyota and headed to where she saw them. I had my eyes peeled on the hillside when I saw them walking along! Dad pulled over and we got out. We squirted up the hill and got in position. Dad clucked at them,and they gobbled right back! I saw one through a cedar bush and I almost lost it!!! I asked Dad if I should shoot,but he said wait for a minute for him to come out in the open. I waited and out he came!! I let the Wingmaster roar!! Dad ran over the little rise and clucked at the other one. The turkey gobbled and Dad let 'im have it!! Two big ol' thunder chickens down within 30 seconds!! We high-fived and while the toms flapped it out,we cut out our tags and taped them on their legs. :)
Here's a picture of me and my bird.



Here's Dad and his bird.



Here I am packing mine out.



We got home and Mom and Nash were soooo happy for us!! Mom wanted a few pics of her with the birds. :)
Here they are.




Today I skinned and cut all the crap meat off of the fan,beard and legs and salted them so I can make wall mount out of it. :)
Thanks for readin'!!
