Well, I grew up on a farm in the Panhandle of Texas. It was irrigated farmland. The jackrabbits were thick and we would chase them in a pickup. Two guys in the back of the truck would shoot, the driver and right seat would spotight. We usually shot shotguns but sometimes semiautomatic 22s. We would do it at night. This was a community practice and we went on our neighbors land as well as hunting from the county (public/caliche/dirt) roads. The dead jacks would be thrown in the back of the truck and fed to pigs at the end of the hunt. Young and old alike participated and practically all of the community did it. Seems bizarre now. I never heard of a single accident and never saw one myself. As a young teenager my favorite weapon was the semiauto 22. You would adjust your hold point by where the dust kicked up from the previous shot.

Best,

Mike

Trust Lowell to take this already diverse thread into the truely Bizarre! Coyotes here are a major problem. Our annual 3 day Coyote hunt, held in January, reported in the papers, soon to be written up in various predator magazines, reported over 800 sighted, and 293 killed. IN ONE COUNTY! I killed 3 with the 10 bore, 7 with a .257 Roberts....That ought to really arouse some tears and gnashing of teeth for Mr. Glenthorne...Pheasants season is over, Geese Tommorrow!

You know Jack, you've sold your duck boat, you chase a few December grouse and you sit by the fire. Perhaps you'd like to explain, "an exception in your case," before you wean yourself from the computer too ol'bean!

Last Dollar, I've watched coyotes on my own land for years, hunted and shot a few too! While they do get a live meal now and then, they are nowhere near the problem some may think.
Anyway, I didn't care for your portrayal of me in your "New Double Gun Sport" sport!

Sorry Old Bean! Not going down that road with you! Rant away! Cheero!

Down that road, indeed!
Seems to me ol'sod, you've brough my name up in your drug induced topic!

That was pretty bad putting Lowell under the boAt.

You were pimped-out with the tagline of "hopeless j0e," if that makes you feel any better?
What a cad - I say!

Man!! I used to think it was so much fun to wait until the river receeded and the carp would be stuck in the dried up puddles up in the woods and we would shoot them in the backs with our .22s. But you guys really had all the fun. Luckily, I came up with more ingenious games like hunting for Irish Setters to run over with my car. Haven't got one yet. But I keep lookin'.

At least I was in the boat...not under it.
