Hopefully, some squirrel hunting with my G-2 22lr match barrel. Once the new year starts I seem to get tied up with shooting archery.

For 5 or 6 years we've had high numbers of cottontails. The last 2 years I can't hardly find a track.
Same goes with the coyotes. When the wolves got thick the numbers crashed. They started to come back a couple of years ago and the government trappers must have got some of the Obam money (stimulus)and they have hired and are doing ALOT more flying. Which equals no coyotes.
With out cottontail and coyotes I am sooooooo bummed!
I'll have to wait till it warms up some and go for PD, picket pins, rock chucks, spring bear, and spring turkey!

I'll have to wait till it warms up some and go for PD, picket pins, rock chucks, spring bear, and spring turkey! rabbits will also run on a cycle which is roughly 10yrs +/- a year or two where there populations grow past max capacity and disease takes them down to nothing and then they gradually come back up and it normally takes 5 or 6 years before you see decent numbers again. I've personally seen this phenomenon with cottontails, snowshoes, and jackrabbits. I'm sure predation has an impact on what's left and how fast they come back.
I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them. John Wayne-The Shootist

Am putting together another black bear hunt for across the bay out of Homer, Alaska. Probably won't get to go 'till the 3rd week of May. Hopefully all of the white stuff and hard water will be gone by then.
If it were supposed to be easy, they'd have sent my little sister to do it.

I've got one more chance to chase a deer, and then it's on to hogs and maybe an exotic for me.
