pacecars, I believe that's a 1 1/2 X 4 Tasco, just a cheap scope whatever it is but it's held up great for 2-3 years now & I've shot it a lot. A couple of years ago when Matt Grabbe & his wife spent a week out here he shot a Rock Chuck with it at 186 yds! His wife Cortney was ranging the shot, it actually flipped it up in the air.

That's a pretty little sucker. The worst I ever stunk a truck up was from a badger. I was cutting through the oil field roads on the way to my dad's in Oklahoma one very cold and really windy day and saw a monster badger out on a hill. I center punched it with the 22-250 and drug it back and put it in the back of the truck. I pulled my gloves off, and luckily threw them on the floor and not on the seat. The stench was unreal in the cab in short order. That pair of gloves stayed in the compartment boarded off under the headache rack for the rest of the trip. That one your son shot looks like it may of just bathed.

Here's what a really big Badger looks like. If there were a B&C club for Badgers, this big boy would be in there for sure because he's a real pig. Shot him as he was trying to hide in a herd of range cattle out in the middle of no where with my Ruger OM 357 & the old reliable Keith bullet in a 38 special case with 13.5 grs 2400. He's probably 2 1/2 times the size of this one my son shot. Dick.

Yup. A Booner for sure there. If they had Badger claw length contests like they do longest pheasant tail feather here, I think that one might take the cake there too. Makes you wonder what political party he was affiliated with, or if maybe he was just retired. Doesn't look like he'd done much diggin in awhile before you drilled him.

Rey, I've got 3 grandson's playing basketball & I'm watching a game almost every night. Two of them played last night, one plays tonight & I'll have to drive over 100 miles one way! I'll get home after midnight & then Thursday the other two play again 2 nights in a row! I need to find a job just to pay for diesel!! This is why we sold our 5th wheel a few years ago & quit going to Arizona. The 2 that played last night had 28 points between them, fun night!

In 1993 I left corporate life and started framing houses and pumping septics just so I could be at all my kids school meetings and sports events. Best decision as a father and husband I ever made.
