Target from Henry VIII after a few sighting in rounds. 25 +/- yards from in informal rest over the side of my pickup.

I'm a happy guy!

Nice! How's the predator hunting going? I haven't heard anything since you nailed the first fox.

The 12 birds I have left are giving me between 5 and 7 eggs a day, which is normal.

Haven't seen any more foxes. Local lore says if you nail the female (which I did) the male will desert the kits and wander off in search of a new mate.

Henry's, even in the singular are nice. TB
Work is for people who don't hunt, plink or fish. Now that I am retired, I hunt, plink and fish. Life is good.
