I took my Ruger .204 out for coyotes in the desert this weekend. After two sets, without any action, I decided to chase jack rabbits. I connected with 11 jacks at distances from 80-230 yards. This is my second trip out with the .204 and I was fully impressed. This is a straight, long shooting rifle, that is an absolute blast to shoot. Here's a field photo of a pretty good day.http://www.jesseshunting.com/photopost/data/516/medium/11bunnies.jpg

Tim, you've done a fine job of zapping those Energizer Bunnies. It looks like you're getting a handle on shooting that new gun.

What another Tim with a new 204 out killing jacksTim, you've done a fine job of zapping those Energizer Bunnies. It looks like you're getting a handle on shooting that new gun.
way to go! is that what the sky looks like its been so long.
You can hop but you can't hide. Yahi Bowmen. Its not how far you can shoot but how close to the game you get when you shoot. Sights we don't need any sights. Why waist time reloading when I can be making arrows.

Sorry for the many repeated posts (on different forums) on this guys, I'm trying to get the photo deal with the different forums worked out. Yep. blue sky behind me. It's been kind of a rarity down here as well.

First bit of blue sky we get down here and I'm gonna go out and shoot until my barrel melts. This weather is something else. The squirrels are going to be back in there holes for the winter by the time the rain stops. I'm about to go out in the rain after the yotes never had much luck before but they have to eat just like me.
