Can I try your gopher smoker...

Did they recently start wearing body armor? Looks like I'll have to trade my 223 in.

Sandy [Scottish brougue]: Carl I want you to kill all the gophers on the golf course
Carl: Correct me if I'm wrong Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers they'll lock me up and throw away the key.
Sandy: Not golfers, you great git! Gophers, the little brown, furry rodents!
Carl: We can do that. We don't even need a reason.
Sandy: Ayye! Well do it, man!
Carl: OK, but why don't we do the same thing, but with gophers?
[Sandy storms off]
Carl: It's not my fault nobody can understand you.

Beautiful.

Golf, guns, comedy, sex... was there ever a greater movie?

There was one of those Peterson (I think) book-magazines back in the '70's called "All-Around Rifles" that had a series of articles each written by a different one of the "popular" scribes of the day makeing the case for the that each of the most common calibers from .223 to .375 was the best all-around rifle. And of course, after you read each one, you were convinced ... almost. I think the .375 advocate had a harder row than he could hoe. I did think the .300 and .338 guys did a good job making their cases. James

Once shot a ruffed grouse with a 338.,...intended to take his head off,...but he jumped as I pulled the trigger...found a beak about 6 feet from a clump of tail feathers and nothing but red mist and globules in between...certianly used enough gun in that instance....

I used to reload in college for a 30/06 to hunt praire dogs. Used a 110g JHP. Hits were, to put it mildly, definitely humane. Nothing but a little red mist...

It is quite feasible. You can use Hornaday 110 gr's and load them down. They are quite accurate. You will still be using alot of powder per shot - as much as a light 30:06 load. Good practice with rifle you use to hunt with otherwise use a smaller caliber rifle.

You can NEVER have "too much" gun.
And those gnomes, very, very dangerous when cornered or in packs. Beware. You have been warned.

Yup, those gnomes like to travel alright, I send em straight to hell, now plastic flamingos take a little more finesse, a stout 175gr 308 load does them in, out to about 600 yards.




See what happens when your lady takes you to the normally boring garden and craft center, you discover platic flamingos make for a highly visible and reactive target with a built in stand, a solid hit and they will bounce around pretty good. gnomes, jockeys, and those frog things(by far the most challenging) seem to be made out of the same material as exploding golf balls. $10 will get you a half dozen flamingos, a couple gnomes , possibly even a couple sets of cheap windchimes. Now if I could only figure out something fun and cheap to shoot from the shoe store
