Summer job with levergun

[86er]

One of our neighbors asked the boys to shoot the rabbits out of his back acre. One day there were 27 of them out there for hours. They are eating his roses and plants and pooping all over the place. He offered a nickle a piece or a day of swimming in his pool. The boys went three days and got one or two each day with their Henry's with open sights. However, the cottontails tend to hang around 50-70 yards out. We added a small 4X scope to the Henry since the sights block out the entire target at 50 yards. This improved the success greatly and yesterday Brandon got 3 rabbits "at work". The bullets are Federal 36gr 22 LR that have been converted to Wide Nose - Nasty Nose with the Paco Accurizer. These smack the rabbits very hard and put large holes that tend to keep them down. So far since adding the scope and using these bullets the boys have been able to connect out to 70 yards.

"Ya know, that's what I call good kids........working for a nickel.......seems like the 1960's. Kids up this way would want to unionize, demand benefits, and want $10 a rabbit.----------6

[Birdman]

Good shootin guys!

[RustyJr]

Those any good eating this time of the year? I know down here you have the possibility of parasites more than in the cooler months.

no doubt -- they should say "Hey old man, time to dig a little deeper- I have an xbox at home and a 60" Plasma I could be watching instead ! "

The boys are pretty good negotiators. They took a day of swimming per rabbit on the condition that Bob supply the soft drinks and sunscreen. Justin commented, "That's worth more than a nickle, Dad".

[Streetstar]

The boys are pretty good negotiators. ".

There ya go ! -- if the job is a bit light on the base pay, see what kind of extra "bennies" can be worked in ---

[Paladin]

Very impressive both the shooting and negotiations.

[samb]

Way to go Boy's.

[Ji in Hawaii]

Pictures tells a thousand words, congratulations on your great shootin' Brandon. Chip off the old block I'd say!

That was my second thought, right after "where's the recipes?"

So, what's the verdict?

[hondo1892]

Kool. Glad to see youngins still enjoying hunting and outdoors.

[jazman]

Nice work boys and Henry!

[Tycer]

Boy - that'a a great summer gig!

Sure beats flyin' a desk on summer days.

Glad to see that there are still places where
boys can do that stuff.
