last Montana gopher hunt.

DD:
Hey, great seeing you're doing so well.

What part of OK? Some parts are greener than others.
West end in places can be a mighty long way from
anywhere else. AND NO Tree's in sight either.
Out here on the plains there's a lot of such areas.

You'll have some big varmints to hunt down there: feral hogs.

Glad you got married again and hope you both have
good health. Cute pup too. Sounds like a hunter in the making.

IF you're going by here, rattle my cage and if it works stop by even.
Best wishes for the next 40 years.

Same with Alberta - Richardson's Ground Squirrels and Columbia Ground Squirrels.
Saskatchewan only has the Richardson's squirrels, I'm sure - billions of them.

We only have the Columbia Ground Squirrels here in BC - along with rock chucks,, several other species of marmonts and actual Eastern Ground Hogs - a few. The woodchucks and Marmots are protected, unless on private property causing damage (which is what they do).

Must be a special lady to get you to move!

Which wife?

Late wife is shooting her tricked out 10-22.

New wife is shooting a Savage 93R. I bought it for a house gun for company. When we went on our first gopher hunting date, I loaned it to her. She never gave it back. Gun sits in here gunsafe now.

I loaned her one of Martini's in 17 Hornet to shoot a Rock chuck. She likes to tell people her rock chuck story and uses the term "my gun" in her story.



I have that gun back and it is in my gunsafe under lock and key-for now.

For years the late wife wouldn't shoot chucks, then one day...



I built that Martini for her in .22 K-Hornet. Once she shot a chuck with it she wanted to hunt chucks. After she passed, i gave her gun to our son for his girls, our grand daughters to shoot.



Thanks for letting me trip down memory lane.

I have been blessed by having two wonderful wives who enjoy hunting with me. Montana gave me opportunity to enjoy time outdoors with them.
