Good evening Montanan, MT_Sourdough, dpe, Southpaw, Forster, Atlaw, pab1, newstart2k, Skunk, kitchawan kid, lurker, CJ, Bilmac,thxmrgarand, Syncerus, Mcwoodduck, Brennemanj83, Old Shooter,TY22, Canon6, burntmuch, Grimjim, CJ, Bilmac, rparsons934 wis_sharpshooter, BBF and Blue Duck.

Beautiful day today here in Montana, so I took the grand daughter gopher hunting.  We got to the gate and I told her when you hunt gophers, you either drive or you open gates.  Grand daughter says she has never driven in her life,  so she said she would open gates.  She couldn't get the gate open, so I told her to get on the truck and drive. (4WD Low Range 1st gear.)  After the intial panic...she drove around the pasture all afternoon.



She hammered the gophers also.  We took 450 plus rounds out with us and brought back 12 rounds.



What a great day!!

Wow, great day indeed, Double D! You and the Granddaughter cleaned up on the gophers and she learned how to drive on top of it. Congrats to both of you. Thanks for sharing the pics and the good times.
