Here in NJ a lot of people in suburbia use hay bales as decoration during the fall. However, right after Thanksgiving they start putting them on the curb for trash. That's where I come in and pick a few up for my target butts.
Most people are glad your taking them away and have a use for them. So if your in need of some new bales or thinking about picking a few up. Go take a drive around some of the neighborhoods.
Latest addition to my Bear collection. "Black Bear" 45@28, nice little bow. You can tell that bear was trying to make a bow for ever price point. Because the this bow doesn't have the woods like the grizzly or Kodiak models; also no reinforced tips.
Needless to say I've had a great year building up my collection this year.
PS....got this bow for 2 case of beer
Took the bow out for a walk the other day. I was hoping to sneak up on some rabbits and put one or two in the freezer. Things didn't really work out as I wanted them too, but it was a good time out. The rabbits were holding tight, lots of new cover for them this year. And this place really gets hit from the rabbit hunters with dogs. You may be able to tell by the pictures that a dog is necessary or at least another hunter?
The weather was really nice, sunny and crisp; just the way I like it. Apparently as I've gotten older the cold and I don't get along. That's OK though, I guess it happens to a lot of people.
I did manage to get a couple shots at some squirrels. Just couldn't connect with the fuzzy little suckers.
Maybe next time....
I knew my air rifle wasn't shooting the best and I had sneaking feeling it was the pellets. I had done everything I could have possibly done and it always ended in the same way. Shitty and inconsistent groups, but after purchasing these JSB Monsters I finally got a good group. Below is my first decent group. This was shot from 20 yards. Let hope it continues once I get into field.
I'll post up more results later!
With such nice weather yesterday I decide to head out and do some fall fishing. My plan was a simple one; I just wanted to catch a few pan fish to put on the smoker. Well simple just wasn't in the cards. Two hours of fishing only yielded one fish. Needless to say I let him go, it just wasn't worth it. I wouldn't have cared as much if I had caught a few shorties. But when not your even getting a bite frustration really starts setting in.
NJ finally did something positive for us hunters. They're now allowing airguns to be used for small game. So myself and a few friends are gonna take advantage and give it a whirl.
For the past month or so I've been trying to get my air rifle shooting consistently. This air gun stuff can be frustrating; its a different game compared to center fire rifles. But I think I finally got it shooting decent enough to take some squirrels.
My rifle is not a very expensive one. Its a Daisey power line 1000 with a added check pad and topped with a Hammers 3x9 x 40 scope.
