Introduce Yourself Here

Hey Seig, we're rat shooting neighbors!
Been at it myself here since 1968 when I returned to The World.





The remnants of a sage rat charge.....30 minutes of 17HMR action....



Rancher-supplied elevation:



Sage rat shooting is most likely the most fun you can have with a rifle!

Those benches look familiar.

Glad to see you're enjoying the BR Pivot too. My BRP Lite has been in use since 1999 and will get loaded in my truck in another few days for a week of quality rat shooting with my crew. Since I sold my patent and mfg rights to MidwayUSA, I get asked monthly if any more are still available. If I had a stash of them, they'd be like an investment in gold right now.

As we're all pretty much a 'visually oriented' bunch here, feel free to post up pics of your rat shoots. It looks like we both have the same affliction in terms of rifles and gear and enjoy the same things......flying rats via nice small caliber rifles.



Myself and crew are preparing for a week of fun with Skippy and his pals very soon. My absolute favorite time of the year. "Skippy" refers to our favorite rodent, "Skippy the Flying Squirrel"....... There's a story in that name I'll share if/when we ever meet downrange.

Rick I really like shooting those access roads around a pivot. Skippy hauls tail from the rough to hay but always have to stop once. I always like prairie dogs but the ground squirrel is king. The last time for me was Apr '23, 11 days of a little snow, rain, wind and sunny days I had the pleasure to empty a little over 5000 rounds. If it was my last then I had a great shoot to rap it up. Keep showing your hunts.

Hell Yeah! My kind of fun right there.

Thanks for letting me join. Live in eastern WA but moving to Idaho soon. Retiring so now I will have time to go shoot. Last summer I got into prairie dog shooting and loved it.

My name is Dan Uhrich. I live in western Colorado and I am an avid predator hunter and trapper. I use .17 calibers for hunting bobcats as I sell their hides. Very excited for this new forum.

Thank you for adding me to the group...I've been hunting and fishing since I was 8yrs old...And now in my 60's, the passion still burns strongly!! The body might disagree and grumble some mornings after a tough night prowling the paddocks!! lol
I grew up in the UK and moved to Australia 26yrs ago...Best decision of my life!!
For family, work...and of course all the hunting, fishing, scuba diving and motor biking!!
I hunt predominantly on foot...and in the dark. Occasionally enjoying a morming or late evening prowl.
I was tagged with the name of 'WTR' on a couple of hunting pages I contribute to...and it's stuck...
I carry out pest control here for around 70 local farmers...Mainly targeting rabbits, foxes and feral cats...And gee, there are gazillions of the buggers to go at!!
