Summer job with levergun
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.

Congrats to the youngsters. So, is it to be a nickel or swimming?

Re: Summer job with levergun
That's excellent!
Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Re: Summer job with levergun
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".
