I want to see some pictures of the varmints you have taken with your high powered rigs. from
22-250 to .50 bmg. Ive only seen what a 22-250 will do to a ground squirrel, and thats pretty much all we have here in ca. I really want to get my 300 wsm on a coyote with a 125 gr ballistic tip, but prolly will never be able.

Thx for the feedback.
I guess we have the same breeding season as u guys.
The fox usually gets its puppies around April/May, about the same time as the sheeps get their lambs.
So shooting a female fox now, makes the farmers happy Wink

I saw another fox just about 1 hour earlier that I dint get thumbdown

Wrong. We're are you in CA ? Because there's lots of varmints to be had throughout the state, both 4 legged and 2 legged (with feathers anyways).

Encore 25-06 with 75gr VMax handloads.

The pile of goo is the one I was aiming at, his bud died of the shrapnel.

I like this combo on the little doggies.

You are in an area with lot's of opportunity and much of it on public lands. In fact, it has some of the highest bobcat and gray fox population densities in the nation. No shortage of coyotes either. Or ground squirrels, desert cottontails and jackrabbits.

That's actually my home country and I hunted and trapped there for 30 years and I still spend my January's in the area trapping and calling bobcats and gray fox and shooting quail.

Tell me what you want and I'll reccomend where and how.

srw, Where are you in VA? I shot one of those "rare white ones" back in 1965 or 1966 with my grandpa's Model 90 Winchester 22 short only!!! That was in Franklin County!!! And we didn't take pictures back then!!! The next one I see will be mounted!!! Better than a B&C buck in my book!!! Deer are varmints!! It's easier to kill a 100 deer than 100 groundhogs anymore!!! And they eat a lot more!! Big Grin Big GrinGHD

Very Cool looking P-Dog
I found this link where the P-Dog pic was stored.

They said to copy and paste the link below but entire link is showing up not just the Running Moose. I thought it would make a cool Avatar but that function doesn’t exist any more.

Hey roebuck25 you have the same varmints as we have Smiler
Please tell us what caliber you use and where(sea or shore)they were shot and how heavy they are!
My guess is sea shot as they are all headshots!

I did shoot one 650 pounder greyseal two weeks ago with my 243 at 150m on a rock by the shore.
Head clean off with the sierra 80gr sp bullet! thumb

Great pic

Nope you dont have to be a resident here to hunt seals here! The seals and small whales are not protected by the goverment in any way and you can shoot em as you like! thumb
All other animals are protected in some way as in most other countrys!

Do we eat em? Yes the meat is pretty good if it is handled right, dont know what it is similar to but it quite good on the grill!
Dolpins taste much better! Big Grin

when I shoot seal I use a kongsberg 393 (lakelander) in 300 win mag loaded with 180 gr silver ballistic tip and I usualy shoot them in the sea. the seals at the picture aresomting like 100 pound. the hunt is free but you nead too have licens to shoot seals in norway. when you aplay for licens you get aloved to shoot 9 seals, when you have shoot them you get a new licens on another 9 seals

roebuck: you have no idea how much i envy you. here in washington state we have some pretty decent salmon fishing but would likely a hell of a lot better without flipper around. it is very common to fish all day and hook a fish and then have it stolen by a seal. keep up the good work. your seal licenses sound like a salmon punchcard Big Grin

I saw a feature on the news Saturday(?) about the seal problem on the West Coast. Seems like officials here are just standing around talking about the problem and not really doing anything as usual.

These guys will form some sort of committee to study the impact on fishing, the economy, global warming, etc. etc. and maybe in two or three years make the decision that further study is needed.

yes, the seals are shoot in the head. if you shoot a seal in the lung/heart it take too long time befor they are dead and they will get lost. I use the seals for bait for fox, crow seagul and raven
