Cliff R Posted July 26, 2020 Author Report Posted July 26, 2020 Cool. I set up on a fresh cut hayfield across the road yesterday. Hadn't been there 5 minutes when one came out about 125 yards above me. Nailed him good but he managed to barely make it back to his hole before Sadie could cover the distance to finish him off. They should be round bailing that field later today so we'll have some good hog hunting until it grows up enough so they can move around undetected........
Cliff R Posted July 27, 2020 Author Report Posted July 27, 2020 The round bales are up so I can set up in the middle of the field on some high ground and shoot in all directions. Time to get out my AR-15 Varmint rifle. Was up there last night and many shots were just WAY too far for the 10-22. I nailed one at 160 yards when I first got up there but didn't hit him well. He spun around, kicked up some dirt and darted into his hole. I had several other shots available out near 300 yards that I didn't attempt so going back today with the AR. I may even take the 308-AR up there just to get some early practice before heading out to Colorado in October. Those big hay bales make a nice rest and the 308 is accurate enough to take groundhogs out to at least 300 yards or so........
