Feather and Fur at the Dairy Farm

Went out about a week ago with a buddy of mine to one of the dairy farms we have permission to pest on. Was greeted by the owner and asked if we can shoot some pest birds for him and of course ground squirrels and rabbits. Did our morning routine, checking zeros and off we went. Lost track of how many birds we shot, including starlings, pigeons and collard doves. The squirrels are less and less each year, I guess we've been doing a good job on them and the farmer is happy with us being there from time to time. Here are some photos of two different days we went. Until next time.

Nice shooting and pictures. I would suggest being very careful handling the ground squirrels, I'm sure you know they can carry the fleas that cause bubonic plague. I have a permission where I shoot ground squirrels and the ranch foreman says I can just leave them where they're shot. There's plenty of critters around to clean up the mess.

yes, agreed, I normally just leave them where they die, but I use gloves and pick some up for a photo shoot once in a while
