I do most of my chuck hunting on a dairy farm north of Wyalusing. New homes and cabins are popping up like weeds and I may soon need to look for new ground.

Urban sprawl was my main reason for going to the 22 Hornet. THe most accurate rifle I owned was an 18" barrel Rem 788, but that was about as polite as a stick of dynamite. The farmer's dairy cows like he Hornet much better.

I didn't mean to assume you were inexperienced, but I often overstate the obvious just in case someone else reading the post is. Just "aiming low to get the folks that are crawling"<g>

I will be camping south of Reading the weekend of Sept 15 (NHRA Drag Racing at Maple)
