Introduce Yourself Here

[kiwishooter]

Hello all. Thanks to CZKid for extending the invite over on another forum. So great to see some of the legacy Saubier members over here. I spent quite a few years on Saubier as
‘M595NUT’ and learned a great deal from my time there. Looking forward to spending time on this forum. Huge 20 caliber fan with 6 current chamberings. Also like the 221 Fireball and triple deuce.

Welcome, nice to have you on board

Hello everyone
Been around for a little over a week and wanted to say hi. Usually hang around AS forums but love small calibers so figure these boards were perfect. Had other members on other site reach out to me telling me about this site

Fern!
Good to see you here buddy. Have you had a chance to get that 204R Match out to the rat patch yet? Not too much longer, and they'll be out.

New members, please introduce yourself in this thread!

Hi, a friend of mine that was on Saubier with me just told me about this forum so I thought I would join up. Saubier was a treasure trove of great information and great members with a ton of knowledge. I am sure this place will be too. I went by Dean2 there, as I do on all forums I belong too.

I decided to use a nom de plume on line as well. Same avatar, however.

Hoping to go in march or April for p dogs. Can’t wait to take the 20vt 204R and my tikka 223 varmint. Still need to make a new top for my shooting table

Should have introduced myself here before. Name is Greg. From northern Alberta. Love coyote hunting, prairie dog or Richardson ground squirrel shooting, smoosh and bear hunting.

Welcome Greg. Now I've got to look up what a Richardson squirrel is!

Richardson ground squirrel. What us Canucks call gophers up here. They are down your way as well I believe.

Greg, that's a HUGE squirrel! Looks more like a prairie dog.
That critter is bigger than any of the California ground squirrels, Belding's or Richardson's I've ever seen.....and I've seen a lot of squirrels. You must feed them well, mate!

When I lived in BC, we shot squirrels/gophers too, but back then I didn't know what 'brand' they were. Might of been Richardson's, dunno. Nonetheless, that's one large ground rat. The lass in the pic did a fine job!

Hello, I found out about this site on accurateshooter.com. I was a member of GGVG and Saubier. I still post occasionally on rimfire central. My passion is groundhogs and I definitely prefer the small calibers now. Thank you to Eric for getting this set-up.

She’s got the hold out the fish for effect picture taking skills sorted out!

We don’t have much for black tailed prairie dogs in Alberta. Maybe some in the SE corner, maybe some in southern Saskatchewan in Grasslands park but either way they are protected as they are almost extinct. We shoot ground squirrels. I think that photo was of a male in early season. She enjoys arrowing them.

I have never seen one but I'll agree that's a big'n! I assumed they were the size of our gophers or chipmunks here in Indiana.
Those look to be more the size of grey squirrels.

He’s definitely a chunky boy! Weight watchers for him! I would say he is the size of a 17 oz soda bottle. I would say most are half to 3/4 his size normally.

Chunky is right!
This is the average size of the Belding's we have around here in the alfalfa:



When we're out bench shooting squirrels (Skippy), it's always a good idea to have a rimfire pistol handy for those "sneakers".
