When it isn't cloudy, windy, snowing, or raining the ground squirrels and rock chucks have been out here in Eastern Oregon.
Got the squirrel pictured below with my High Standard .22 pistol at about 30 yards. I rested over a fence post and got him with the first shot.
The rock chuck was a 200 yard shot with my Ruger M77 Hawkeye .22-250. I rested over the 4-wheeler while I was fixing some fence and the 55 grain Sierra Gameking handload did the trick. Anyone else been able to sneak in some varmint hunting between spring rains?
