Reeder Custom Guns - Gorgeous day in the Columbia Basin

of Eastern Washington, clear blue skies and 60*.

There has to be a chuck out today, so I made a quick drive to one spot. As I pulled in I glassed 2 on the concrete pile.

This shoot was for two reasons. I really wanted to see how the new cast hollow point bullet out of the 7 GNR was going to work, and I try to take one early chuck to eat. We won't shoot any more now until the middle to the end of April.

Took this young boar at about 70 yards, the bullet did very well on him. After skinning him out the only thing worth keeping was the hind quarters.

This is going to be a great combination. [image]

Just wondering how you cook the chuck, it's a big squirrel. Nice shot.

a cast iron pan and some butter, nothing fancy. They are very tough so a crock pot would probably be better. Where I'm only doing 1/2 of this one I'll just fry him up.

but our liberal game and fish department has rolled over to the liberal anti hunters and we can't hunt them until about half way thru the summer.

remember that they have some scent glands. They look like little tan balls of fat. Remove them from under the arms and legs so the meat isn't so gamey.

I like woodchuck but sadly many fields are now subdivisions.
