Â*Â* Seems that in the last week or two something(s) have been
marauding my tomato patch . I thought I had it better protected ...
yesterday afternoon I set up my game cam in the corner where
they've been eating their ill-gotten gains , only to discover there
are 3 shifts ... late afternoon/early evening , the squirrels dine
, then after dark the raccoons come in , followed later by the
'possums . Looks like I need to improve the protection out there .
I have to admit , the west side is hard to get to because of the
wild blackberries and I've let the chicken wire and 'lectric wires
get overgrown a little . It's been working so well until recently
that I've become complacent , and that's gotta end . I'm not
certain if they're crawling under the chicken wire or going over ,
probably the latter since there are sags that weren't there when I
installed it . Either way , I'll be out there today tightening
things up in an effort to stop it - all the ripe or nearly ripe
'maters are gone , and they've started in on the green ones , I
gotta do something or this will be the end of tomato season for
this year . And I've got a lot more jars to fill .

Groundhogs are eating my neighbors tomatoes.Â* Time for the
Hav-a-hart trap.

Â*Â* 22-250 from 300 yards .


Do they explode when you hit them?

Â* Depends on the load ... a 22-250 hollow point at 3800 fps MV , yes .
A .243 HP at 3300 , maybe if you hit the body . Regular .22 LR , no .


A rabbit/hare won't go down with a 22 LR.
