Sounds like your rehab program is working quite well. Proceed carefully so as to be fit for duty.

Oh it was a bloody day!!! We have had snow on the ground for 2 days.I blooded the .223A.I. and blooded the .223A.I. and blooded the .223 A.I.I found an antelope rib cage and setup a little draw station.The 50gr. V-Maxs are simply marvelous!!! I got 3 ranch cougars before they scattered.Took a little drive this afternoon south of the place.Shot 3 rooster pheasants and 3 Hungarian Partridge.Saw at least 25 more roosters after I had shot my limit.My new Lab pup is really coming on nice.Wasn't really bird hunting,was looking to see what fields the mallards were working in and maybe setup a little hunt in the A.M..I found 2 fields but I can't decide which one to go to.I'll see which way the wind is in the morning.I hung the ranch cougar remains on a fence north of the house.Some coyotes have been running the fence line so I thought I'd recycle them.I have to go Ma has a brace of Huns fried up.Will post up after the mornings shoot.My blade is in need of the stone.

Wolfer, be careful not to reinjure yourself. Your fellow Montanan's may not realize it but your expertise as a "Crat Population Reduction Specialist" is most important to the quality of life in your region. derf

Hmm, you have a quandry there old chap. One the one hand, you can think of it as giving the foul little monsters a chance to get relaxed, therefore giving you the element of surprise. On the other hand, with no "maintenance" of the population, it's going to expand exponentially and worse, it's going to give the revolting monsters the idea that they aren't on the bottom of the food chain. My solution is simple: rest and when you feel up to it, get your self a suppresse autoloader and a big box of hefty cinchsacks!

Might be time to set up an easily accessible(for yourself) line of bait stations so as to concentrate the little furballs. As you recover you can take longer and longer expeditions into the Montana Veldt, maybe make some brush hides at the "waterholes", lazer distances to target prides, check target patterns, sharpen several knives, load bullets, etc.. The evil crats will get used to your truck with the built-in benchrest in the back, as you feed them and putter around in the back 4000, maybe even start to salivate as they hear the motor in the distance. Then when you feel better, DRIVE IN AND DROP THE HAMMER!

Don't fret too much wolfer,,,They're not going anywhere,,Just might get a little fatter.Reminds me of a few years ago,,,,I smoked 45 chucks off of a 20 acre plot,It took 4 years for another one to move in,,I learned a bit about game management,,That was the best field to try my hp rifles on Have fun!!!!!!Clay

Rather than trying to reinjure yourself, spend a couple of quiet evenings in the reloading room building a few 360 degree, tuna coated, command detonated Claymores! MMM, pureed pussy! derf
