    The auto fan system doesn't have a good reputation and a lot of farm quads end up with a manual switch or hooked through the ignition switch. My legs told me it was getting hot.

    I must confess I did miss the first shot at it. But still happy enough to connect on the second. Just wish I could stick an accu-trigger on my remington...

    The mighty .223 did the job. We were using the 50gr American Eagle today. Not quite as good on the larger animals as the Nosler 40gr BT I normally shoot, but the 50's make up for it by being a little more explosive on smaller game and headshots.

    Last night I got the call for help from a neighbour that needed problem wild animals sorted. After some thought I decided to take the rifle that I can depend on to shoot 1 shot groups of less than 1/2" any range any weather by anyone. Sneaking on to a grassy knoll 100 yrds from the area of concern I lay in wait, full camouflage [blue overalls and red bands].It didnt take long and the underground chickens started to appear.The elephant gun did not worry them one bit I guess they know no one shoots wabbits with a 458 win mag.
