You need to back up a little. Shooting at 100 is like shooting fish in a barrel. You won't get as many but the long shots will be more satisfying. Later! Frank

Hey Overwatcher, where in Idaho do you live? I'm in the Lemhi area, been out killing a few myself the last week or so. Looks like your in the south east/west part of the state if your close by we should get together for some chuck hunting.

@Frank Blum
Your right! But I would get to a spot where I had some range on some and one 80 yards away is just chirpin away at me...Hmmm Had to give in to the temptation lol!
