[Gringo31]

There have been a few showing up already....

More reliable than a ground hog.     

[BIGINNER]

   HECK YEAH!!!      

[Hayfmr]

Yakina Valley?  I am getting the itch to go shoot a few.

They seem to be popping out sooner and sooner every year.  I better get another case of 17hmr's ordered...

Man, I need a spot. We don't seem to have any around Spokane. I would LOVE to shoot some sage rats!!!

[b23]

Wile E. actually I've seen quite a few sage rats around Spokane BUT they are always in areas you CAN'T shoot them.  Like around Felts Field.  Alot of sage rats right around there but you can't shoot them and there is a open field out behind that Church on the NW corner of Argonne & Bigelow that has lots of sage rats.  But, again, you can't shoot them. 

To me, that makes it alot worse.  To see em but can't blast em.......

That's my experience too. I guess I misstated the facts. They're here, I can't shoot them. I need access to some that I can SHOOT!

That seems to be the same problem in the tricities they seem to hang out in places you can't shoot

[b23]

It's the same way with freakin groundhogs.  I see them basterds all over the place in Spokane but NEVER anywhere I can shoot em. 

Same in T/C area.  Especially around those Corp of Eng. parks on the Snake River.  Dang, i've seen tons of groundhogs around those parks for years but for obvious reason I can't shoot em.... 

[Maverick]

I've never seen one in tri cities. We shot a bunch with pellet guns year over by grandview. Had a blast!!!

[Special T]

Are those places you could try and squewer the ground hogs with a long bow shot?80-100 yards?
