The Spencer as a Varmiter

[matt45]

Hello The Camp
The gophers are out up here, so I had to try the beloved carbine out on one.  I missed a couple of easy shots, and finally hit one at 87 yards (laser range finders are great things).  I held at his feet, and hit his head   Our gophers are the Columbian Ground Squirrel- there heads are usually about 1.5 X1.5- needless to say, there was not much left, after a .512 slug penetrates the middle of the target area.

The next time I'll take the camera

Where do you live that you have the luxury (nerve) to shoot those blasted, little (poor, unsuspecting) varmits (creatures) with of all things, a(n) Spencer Carbine (assult rifle)? 

The one problem with living this close to Massachusetts (the People's Republic) and DC is that you have to learn to talk like they do.

'Good shootin. I figure, if you're going to send one of them poor critters back to God, you may as well do it right.

Spencer Varminter! I thought I was going to read about calling in coyotes. But shooting gophers at 87 yards, now that's splitting hairs. Good shooting.

Not to cause any envy, but I just ran about 100 head of elk out of our upper pasture...
The next season I hope to reduce that herd by one, with a little help from our beloved weapon of choice
