March 2014 Photo Submission Topic: Springtime at the range

[Walter Laich]

Our grass is a bit greener than yours. Or it could be the lighting in the picture that makes it look white

In the springtime in Nevada the range is where the ground squirrels are at. Myself on top of the Durango, 9.3x62Al in his Ford. Buckshot took the picture with his tower rig in the foreground.

The Great Rat Shoot of 2014, Eureka NV.

Boy I didn't think modern vehicles supported human weight anymore. Very interesting terrain, mine is a vast pile of snow with my driveway stones scattered throughout.

Boy I didn't think modern vehicles supported human weight anymore. Very interesting terrain, mine is a vast pile of snow with my driveway stones scattered throughout.

I am 6' 4" and 250 lbs. Needless to say I can't dance a jig up there. I climb up very gingerly and distribute my weight. The old girl has got over 275K miles on her so if I make a scratch or small dent I am not going to cry too much. It's a tool.

I did have the wind blow the bench over while I was on the ground and take out the rear window one year. So I strap the bench down with a ratchet strap now. The extra height makes a huge difference spotting the little diggers at a distance. Some of the shots were in the 400+ yard range. Not a lot of hits, but fun nonetheless.

I know, pretty boring.
