 Whislepigs are called what? Rock chucks [yellowbelly marmot] or ground squirrels.........

[coyotebuster14]

Nomad,

Thanks for asking. In this instance: whistlepigs are; picketpins, sage rats, ground squirrels, whatever you want to call them. Shoot a bunch, fill your bag, and win the shoot. It'll be fun!

Rockchuck shoot will be coming in June - tba

Good Shooting!

finally something I have a chance winning! although BBQ at weight-in sounds a little fishy...

[coyotebuster14]

NO Fish here! LOL!

Just good ole' ground meat and tube steaks (sausages). We can do some range meat if you like? LOL!

Hamburgers
Sausages
Chips and Pop
If we can get some people to make a dish of some kind, like: chili, baked beans, potato or macaroni salad, stew, etc.... It would really be appreciated. If you believe you can see your way to bring a dish, please contact Gary at 208-365-7393 or send an email to: gspha@yahoo.com. Thank You.

Rockchuck shoot is too late in the season in June they are mostly
in........Middle April to middle May out in force now...........less the wind
would help to get them out........Are they by the bag as well?
 Open to shoot "have gun will travel" or at least try.....
 Beans would be a second shot.....blast....chili

Nomad,

The rockchuck shoot will be in the high country, so June will be just right. We have shot them up there before in June, and done very well.

The details of the RC shoot have not been worked out yet, but we are working on them, as soon as I know the details I will let you know.

Back to the whistlepig shoot? Are you going to try to make it out to meet, greet, and shoot on the 19th? I hope so, everyone is welcome.

Gary

[Nomad]

 Where are you calling high country..............the major area......Thanks Nomad...

[coyotebuster14]

Nomad,

I will let everyone know the area when it is time for the shoot. We are going to a two day shoot & campout with a BBQ in the evening.

It is going to be a great time. Keep it in mind.

It is Saturday Morning - Only 1 day left till the Squirrel (whistlepig) Shoot!

I went to Boise & Nampa this yesterday morning, highway 16 had a bunch of squirrels running back and forth, so the critters are out and moving. The next few days it is going to be in the 70's! Just right for a great shoot.

I hope to see you all at the Check-In on Sunday morning between 6 and 8 AM - Behind Snake River Yamaha on Fairview Ave. Meridian.

The Shoot registration fees are $10.00 for members, and $15.00 for non-members. We will have a registration form for you to fill out, and collect your registration fees.

We are going to have a BBQ at the Weigh-In - the cost of the BBQ is $3.00 per person. Hamburgers, sausage, hot dogs, chips, pop, chili, and pot luck dishes.

I went and picked up the plaques today. And thought you all would like to see what you are going to win.

Each member of the team will receive a plaque - I only took pictures of one each of the plaques. These are 5" x 7".









See You Later!
Gary
