You can't go to Big Timber without stopping at the Fort and we did that. Then we headed out to the ranch with high hopes of seeing plenty of rabbits. There was plenty of snow, which isn't bad, but drifting can slow you down.
We had to dig our way through one gate and only a 1/4 mile later we had to chain up the front end.
Once we got to the top, where I wanted to get, we split up and I walked the top of the rims and every one else walked below the rims watching for rabbits. It sounded like the Battle of the Little Bighorn. I couldn't see anyone but I knew where they were from constant gunfire.
My son got a call from his wife at about noon and said that the furnace wasn't working at home, so we had to cut the shooting short to head back.
Only a total of around 3 hours, we had the best shoot I can ever remember. We ended up with 50 rabbits that were not blown up beyond salvage, started cleaning them and headed back. I was able to get the 1886 SRC in 45-70 into action and get a few rabbits
What a day...
