Rossi Rifleman

It was a nice walk in the woods, took the very first 22 I ever owned a Winchester 69A. Had a pleasant hour and a half stroll through the autumn hardwoods at the state hunting and fishing area. Sitting on a downed tree watching the tree tops I saw a shadow pass over and figured my red tail friend was back. When the second shadow appeared I figure maybe buzzards as there were a couple road kill on the side of the roads that passes these woods. The birds finally driffet over a patch of open sky and I was astonished to see the white heasds and white under side of the tails on a pair of bald eagles. I had heard there was a pair somewhere in the county down there but because they don't want them distrubed the PDNR guys tend to not broadcast their locations. It was a joy to watch them rdie the thermals overhead for the few minutes they were in sight.

Squirrels? Looks like steak and potatoes tonight.

Make smoke,

It sounds like a real nice time, a real plus with the eagles!

Nothing like an armed nature walk on a crisp Autumn day. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the story, Ohio.

I love pleasant surprises like that here in Ohio.

$10 per head bounty at work right now. I only have a pellet gun (that reinstalled the rear sight on today) and a .38. Need to come back with my Marlin 60 and OMSS with quiet .22s.

Tried my OMSS Sunday AM but missed one at 30 yds and it was too loud (older German subsonic). Brought my plain ole 10/22. . Spent $0.16 to earn $20 so far.

We need bounties like this in my city I'd get a permit n use my pellet gun they're like rats everywhere. I could trap them to I here them fighting n see them stealing each others winter stashes making holes in my yard. I think this year tree rats are going to be trapped. Regardless
