Last weekend was pretty good. Saturday shot one that spun in the tall grass I couldn't recover and another who was at a full speed run. Didn't find that one until Sunday morning and I'm pretty sure he is part hippopotamus, so full speed run is relative.

Here he is next to another from Sunday morning:

After those three I set up an ambush for one off these rocks. They look stable but they really weren't and I didn't have a shooting bag. There was loose footing and barbed wire I got all cut up on.

The one I was waiting for didn't show up but another pair did and I shot the female in the heart region at 440 yards. He ran a ways but then stopped to see where his wife was and I got him through the base of the ear at 550 yards.

That afternoon while gopher hunting in another field I saw this one and got him. First one of three from that field that had nice fur. Well the fur that didn't fly off anyways. Looks like a pillow exploded when I hit him.

So six for the weekend if I include the one who went down in the tall grass.
Was also asked to knock off some beavers from this pond. Not really sure how to recover them though as I don't have a raft or boat.
