And people make fun of me for plinking turtles out of a tank and blasting prairie dogs with a suppressed 24” .308
Oh, hey! That’s a fun day!
Years and years ago, I was working on a ranch in west Texas. Close to dusk, when we’d finished our fence-building or whatever, I’d grab one of my guns and head over to one of the 5 or 6 tanks on the place. They were chock full of turtles and snakes.
I’d sit somewhere on the edge and shoot turtles and snakes for an hour or so.
Pistols, rifles...whatever. I generally was either using my Ruger 10-22 or my Ruger .22 auto pistol. Sometimes, I’d use the centerfires, but they were a little expensive considering how much I would shoot.
I can still smell the mud and dried grass and burned cordite. Man, that was fun stuff.
