Look at his location looks like a gopher

yeh

 

 

 

Correct!

There are two main species of gopher, the pocket gopher and the Richardsons ground squirrel, both of these species of gopher are found in North America. The gopher is a small squirrel-like rodent which lives in burrows underground.

so ok to shoot something you havent a clue what it is?

I knew exactly what it was (even if I didn't name it correctly) You are the one without a clue.

Wow ...angry and hostile little troll

would of not took its life,just for the sake of shooting it,everything i shoot goes to my birds of prey

Why assume so much? To be clear I don't ever shoot live animals without reason "just for the sake of shooting it" and everythig I shoot goes to good use. Not that I need to explain anything but I have a serious Pocket Gopher problem in my yard. I trap but they are near impossible to eradicate. The whole point of this post is to share that I shot a rarely seen, nocturnal, invasive and distructive pest that spends most of its time under ground. Why assume that the carcass didn't go to good use? Your comments don't tell me that you are trolling my post but come on why so negatively judgemental? - rhetorical question

That's the weirdest looking mole ive seen ,looks more like a rodent.

Isn't a Mole a type of rodent ?

Ye can't go around shooting voles,bad that At

Actually in this country I can go around shooting voles - not that I've ever tried. It is in fact encouraged to eradicate them. The usual method is to poison them - which I completely disagree with. Poison is cruel and spreads poison through the food chain. Any pest control I do is to encourage the native species by removing non native species.

[Snicker 9]

I won't say anything about the vole but I like the look of your compact scope, what is it.

 

Nothing special. Just a cheap Chinese scope with parallax adjustment (probably the lowest price scope with parallax that I've ever encountered) The AA has little or no recoil so won't ruin the cheap scope. I have a Bushnell 3200 on my Air Ranger (50fpe) Now THAT'S a sweet scope!
