Herping

Went out riding, and scouting. We came across a rattlesnake on the trail while riding, and we saw one or two on the road. This one I only got a shot of with my phone camera. The picture does not do it justice, this snake was just beautiful, it had light red features on its brown skin. We left it alone after our paparazzi moment.

some yard work

I decided that the Saga Palms in the front of the house, and blocking the window, was just getting to big. The removal would be a lot of work with shovel, and pick. I needed to find another way. My neighbor, Dan, has a bobcat or skip loader(Dallas). I dug around the base of the tree, clipped the lower branches, and hooked a chain around the base. I pulled the tree out with the skip loader. I also gave "S" a chance to learn how to drive it, and she did very well.

Men: your not alone





Chula Vista Militia

Made a connection with the Chula Vista Militia.
It was time to site in the scope for my deer rifle. Some time in December, I bought a Savage .270 deer rifle. I bought a Leupold Scope, and sited it in. The mounts kept loosening up, and I did not like them. I bought new mounts, which means I had to resite the scope in. Robert, Nick( his son) and I went out to the local mountains, to meet up with the other half of the group Mike, his twin sons Matt, and Mike and they had an arsenal of guns, and targets.
We had small to large calibur rifles, shotguns, and handguns the 22lr handguns were the most fun for me.
We set up targets at 200yds, 100yds, 75, 50, and handgun plate targets at 20yds
I don't have pictures of the targets, or me shooting, but here is the whole gang sans me.
