They are already out?
I sure hope not too many people are shooting them this early. I try to refrain from going any earlier than April to make sure that the some of the babies have been born so we can have some future shooting stock. |

.22 LR or for those out there aways or not .22-250 does the trick nicely.

The .223 is alway fun for squeeks, but I still love my ol' 22 year old Marlin, iron sights, tube fed .22 with 40 gr solids. You can shoot all day with breaking the bank, light to carry, if you really get into them it doesnt tear up my shoulder. I think its more fun to gauge dropping in the long shots too. It doesnt vaporize them, but you leave the carcass for their buddys to gnaw on. I would like to try the Barnes varmint grenades though, if you havent seen them check out the videos. Just like they swallowed an M-80. I've popped plenty of close ones with with wadcutter .40's, and it damn near turns em inside out. Its fun to get them that way, but I find it ruins the backstrap and makes it almost impossible to salvage any of the rib meat.
I do have a couple of requests though. I know its already been said and I'm probably preaching to the choir, but here they are.
As mentioned before, please dont shoot too early, let them have their babies, and switch hills so you dont wipe out a colony. Also, two of my favorite spots are now posted and blocked off limits to vehicles because too many A-holes went in in the mud and tore up the trails and the hillsides. If your cutting deep tracks in a trail back out and wait till it dries a little so we can all use the road later.
Sorry to bitch and moan. See ya in the hills.

This is good advice. We want to make sure there are enough targets around for future practice. |

I was at the range on Monday, and the little critters were all over the place. Took a couple of pot shots at them from 500m, but he was moving before the bullet got there.
That whole time of flight thing at that range kinda sucks.

I'll never forget the first time a co-worker invited me out whistlepig hunting. Not being from the area, I figured they were like prairie dogs and that we'd be shooting from long range. Because of this, I brought my CZ-527 in .223 with a 6-24x50 Sightron mounted on it. It was embarassing (to say the least) when the one I had a shot at showed up at about 15 yards and I missed  I did get my revenge a few months later when some showed up mid-afternoon out around Blacks Creek, though.  |

This little guy made the mistake of popping up about 6 yards from us while we were trying out some 00 buck through the Mossberg 500. Took his head clean off, never knew what hit him.

I gotta get my scope mounted on the 223 AI and use the sighter rounds to break it in . The good news is that I have a couple 100 rounds of .223 loaded up with 50 grain V-Max's so I can kill whistle-pigs while fire forming brass !

My favorite spot is north of Parma. Take highway 95 north from Parma then east on Pearl Road. Pass the turn off for the Parma Range and keep going. The road turns to dirt and there are multiple side roads and trails through the desert. Just pick one and have fun. The main road (Pearl) actually continues through the desert and comes out by exit 17 on I84. I'm headed out there Tuesday afternoon if anybody wants to come along.

Thats where I used to shoot them until everyone else figured out it was a good spot as well . If your gonna go out that way mid-week offers less crowding and theres tons of dirt roads peeling off in every direction across the desert . |

South of Boise out Pleasant Valley Rd towards the tank range. Be prepared to see lots of folks both shooting and riding dirt bikes. |
