Thought of another favorite varmint "Spotted Owls" preferably when held by a tree hugger.

in wisconsin they legalized hunting feral cats because they were utting down on the songbird population, this just happened last year

What is wrong with people who want to conserve our beautiful land. Would you call the park rangers who protect yellowstone a tree hugger. I live in the Coronado National Forrest and go out for hikes, camping, mountain climbing, and just have fun in desert. I am a tree hugger so you'd shoot me???

Commies, but they're just about extinct now, at least in Europe and the America's. But I hear there are some still in Asia.

It may sound weird but mole hunting can be fun. Usually they start diggin' around noon. You have to get there early and stand motionless for an hour or so then blast 'em when the ground moves.

I like what Sitting Bull said "When the buffalo are gone, we shall hunt mice because we are hunters."

Park Rangers No -- Forest Service are nothing more than stump cops who continue to ruin hunting lands by putting fences on firebreaks in the middle of no where making it unlawful to take a vehicle into those areas so people walking can only have access to the spots of public land that is owned by all of us.

During my hunts in oregon the USFS is constantly tearing up firebreaks and posting signs for vehicles to stay out of areas but they are more than happy to nail signs to tree's noting that they are "wildlife habitats" and putting fences up to keep trucks off fire breaks but they are happy to allow bikes.

While I was tracking some elk this year in Oregon I ran into a tree hugger who was riding a Mtn Bike on a trail and he wanted me to vacate the trail for him. Since I was on the trail with the rifle and it was hunting season I told him politely that he might want to get his bike out of a forest with hunters and the occassional Mtn Lion that might want to use him for dinner. I reminded him that Mtn Lions like to use spandex as dental floss.

As for protecting the environment most hunters I know are doing that by managing game and trying to keep the areas they use cleared of debris. As for protecting a bird, bug, or reptile over the humans that is getting ridiculous as they wiped out the entire economy of some states when they took away logging. Ask a regular guy in the state of Oregon they will tell you that the Spotted Owl wiped out the entire economy. Not to mention that they actually harm the forests more by not allowing the removal of burned or downed fuel which is actually even stated by thier own the cause of the west coast blazes.

I hear they're plentiful in Kalifornia but I try to stay away from there so I cant say for sure. :uzi:

Well there's always the fascists:nod: --I find the wiley americanus flagwrappus a worthy target--you know the ones that claim taking away our civil liberties is for our own protection--unfortunately they run in herds of DemoPublicans and easily mimic either the braying mule or the goose-stepping pachyderm making target acquisition problematic.

A talented tracker can spot them from their spore--an acrid sulfurous mass of half-cocked ideas and biblical regurgitation.

The best way to pick them from the herd :target: is by giving them some rope with which they will endeavour to hang themselves, thereby presenting a clear target for the varminter...:gangster:

My favorite to hunt is ground hogs (red bellied marmut) rabits coyote fox skunk coon and wolf to protect the farm animals. Swallows black birds (includs crows) and cow birds. The one I would like to hunt the most are the tree huggers (ECO Terrorests) that run around the bush banging pots and pans to scare the deer during the deer season. Or the ones that run around on the lakes chasing off the watter foul with there boats. It got so bad the minestry of natural resorses had to pass a law to stop them and still every year they charge hundreds for disturbing leagal hunters. Be cheaper Just to shoot them but they wont give out the licence to do that.:uzi:

I did not know that squirrel was varmints, I used to call them small game, but then I ate ground hog, aka woodchuck and called that a varmint. Varmint a distructive animal that could be eaten. Vermin were rats and non eatable other distructive targets of opportunity, no season no limit. Wild dogs, coyotes, gophers, cats, snakes, crows could be in varmint or vermin class at any given time by todays thinking. Do I have a favorite? No, I just like to hunt and shoot.

How far can you reach out and touch pdogs with the 17HMR?

[pball942]

Got it zeroed at 145 yards. So it hits about 0.9" high at 50 yards, 0.3" low at 150 yards, and 5.5" low at 200 yards. Don't know if it will have enough energy left for an effective kill at 300 yards, but would do some damage at 250. Groups real nice, but watch out for cross wind.

When I was in school in Colorado down in Prowers County I enjoyed shooting prairie dogs. We had permission to shoot on several ranchers properties and spent several weekends culling the dogs... We generally took 3 or 4 firearms. I usually brought a .22-250, a .223, a .22LR Bolt rifle and a .22LR pistol. My friend usually brought a .240 Weatherby Mag, a .22-250, a .223 and a .22LR revolver. We generally shot 20 rounds from each rifle and then we'd clean them in the back of the truck. The handguns were fun cause it seemed like every time you started cleaning your rifles the dogs that were close came up and barked cause they knew you were tied up cleaning! I really miss that... by the way my friends .240 Weatherby was a MacMillan Sniper set up. It had a Leupold scope on it and it was absolutely accurate. I shot football sized dogs at 300 yards...I've seen him hit them at much longer ranges. The .240 is essentially a 6mm-06AI with a sharper shoulder and a belt, it really gets the job done! At ranges under 200yds it vaporized the dogs...not much left to them after the hydrostatic energy of the bullet leaves 'em in pieces....
