Returned from Crane on Friday PM. We had gone over on Wednesday because our local weatherman had predicted a nice end to our workweek. What a dumbass dweb. We were probably the dumb ones for believing him in the first place. Any way, got in on Wed evening and got the trailer set up. My friend Ty was already there with his trailer.
Thursday morning we decided to make the rounds of pivots we usually shoot at, The ground is so soft that you don't dare get off the roads so we shot from the rigs. Broke for lunch and naps and went out again in the PM. All in all, we didn't probably kill 20 rats all day. They just don't like to be out in the cold wind. And it snowed some too.
Friday morning it was snowing but we decided to make our rounds again. Four guys and we didn't shoot more that 30 rounds. By noon the snow was blowing sideways and my buddy Ty, who had left earlier was in the middle of a whiteout near Burns. That was when we decided to pull the pin and cut our trip short by two days. The drive from Burns to Bend was mostly sunny but we drove into a headwind all the way home. Later Jim said he had gone back out in the afternoon and killed about 30 rats. When he called me this morning, he reported it had snowed all night and was still snowing at 8am with a buildup of 3 inches.
So the weatherman says, again, that it will clear up by this following Wednesday. Being gullible like I am, I will head back over next Wednesday and try it again. Hope he is right because we have some fellows coming over to rent some shooting chairs.
If you would like to rent a pivoting shooting chair, they are $65 per day and if you don't have a place to go out and shoot, we will take you out with our group of friends. Give me a call for more details, Jerry at 541-420-5342.
