SAGE RAT SHOOTING ONLY 3 MONTHS AWAY


Talked to my friend Jim, in Crane the other day and we agreed that sage rat shooting, most times, starts around the middle of February. That's only three months away. Made me realize that I had better start building some "shooter rests". Also I have had 2 calls in the last two weeks from interested shooters asking about them. So, I have rearranged my shop and am in the process of cutting, welding and assembly. If anyone is interested, I should have some ready after Thanksgiving. If you are new to this site, refer back to my first couple of blogs to view pictures.

Ammo has started to show up in limited quanities in our area. Prices are somewhat inflated. What few bricks that were at the Redmond gun show last weekend were priced $22-$25. ( for .22 LR ). Jim said that in the Burns area, one store had American Eagle bricks for near $50. Good luck with that one.

Got a different rig this year. If you recall last year, I was driving a white Yukon with a roof rack. This year I will be driving a Ford Excursion, light tan in color. Don't know yet if the roof rack will fit. It's a 7.3 Powerstroke and will pull my travel trailer better than the Yukon. Look for it around the Crane Supply if you are in the area. I'll try and keep on the blog with any news I have.
