If I get my sunken tank blind pumped out and have any decoys left now that the Nor Cal flooding has subsided, I'll have till the 29th of January for Ducks and Geese. Headed up tomorrow night to see what's left of the spread.

As for the .17 HMR, I think it's a must have Tater! I waited for some time before I bought mine and ended up with a real peach of a single shot. It's a Winchester 1885 Low Wall with case hardened receiver, octagonal barrel. It's cool but cost more than any subcaliber should cost! That's OK, it's pretty and shoots utterly fantastic! I was amazed at how the .17 shoots....you just cant even compare it to a .22LR. Like toxic said, you aim at something 200 yards out, you hit it. No holdover at all! It kills squirrels at that range like a .22LR would at relatively close range, not explosive but definitely DEAD!
