WE GOT THROUGH THE RAINS IN GOOD SHAPE SO FAR THIS YEAR. ALL THAT SHOVEL WORK PAID OFF AND LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE RAIN THIS MONTH. THE RAINS WERE SO GOOD IN FACT, THAT WE HAVE CALIFORNIA POPPIES ON THE HILLS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN NEARLY 20 YEARS. AS A PROTECTED FLOWER WE CANNOT DISTURB THESE FLOWERS. STEP ON, PICK, OR EVEN SHOOT THEM. IT IS OK IF THE DEER OR COWS EAT THEM. SO AS THE POPPIES BLOOMED CLOSER TO OUR TARGETS WE BROUGHT OUT THE TORO (BULL) WEEDEATER IN CASE IT WAS NEEDED. NO POPPIES WERE INJURED DURING TOM'S CARTRIDGE MATCH!!! (new web address: www.burbankmuzzleloaders.com)

APRIL 13th IS SILHOUETTES. YEP THE CLUB SHOOT FOR APRIL 13th WILL BE THOSE PESKY LITTLE ANIMALS THAT SEEM TO DUCK WHEN SHOT. AS I HAVE SAID MANY TIMES, YOU CAN HIT IT BIG ON SILHOUETTE DAY. THERE IS MONEY FOR 17 OR MORE HITS, AND ALSO, YOU SCORE YOUR HITS AS POINTS TOWARD THE 'SOY'. IT WILL BE WORTH THE PRICE COME TO BML APRIL 13th AT 9am SHARP, OR THERE-BOUTS.

WE HAVE GRASS AT THE RANGE THIS YEAR. THAT MEANS AN ABUNDANCE OF WILDLIFE. WITH WILDLIFE THE FOOD CHAIN IS IN PLACE FOR MOUNTAIN LIONS DOWN TO THE RATTLE SNAKES, WATCH OUT FOR THEM!!! THREE THINGS WE CAN KILL IF YOU SEE THEM, GOPHERS, GROUND SQUIRRELS AND RATTLE SNAKES. DO THEM IF CAN DO IT SAFELY. (new web address: www.burbankmuzzleloaders.com)
