Happy New Year!! I had a few days off from building guns so I took the time for a much needed hunt. My Marauder is all torn down and getting some love so I decided to grab a custom .30 Rainstorm from the shop that was built by QVTom. My other reason for taking it was to sight it in for Ron(5Tron)as it's his new toy. I arrived to my hunting spot a bit later as it was very cold and I had wanted to zero in the gun a bit before hand. I spent about 20min getting everything right as well as familiarizing myself with the feel and use of the gun. By this time it was around 9:30am and I headed into my usual loop that usually takes me about 4 hours. It took awhile but I finally saw a few Jacks off in the distance several hundred yards. When I spot them I usually try and close myself into range and hope not to spook them. I had been lucky as the ground was soft and there was a slight breeze,this helps getting closer. I was able to get within 85yrds of a good size one that looked as though he was missing part of his ear..I lined up my shot between some Joshua trees and was able to take a real clean headshot. Nothing like the THUMP of a rather large pellet hitting bone..I could tell it hit very hard!! I had a great little solo hunt and can only hope for more into the new year. Hope everyone's well and will try and post some more when time permits. 8)
