What a awesome morning. I didn't shoot well and only walked out with one. I bet I could have got my bag limit this morning with my trusty 20 gauge but I love .22 hunting. Morgan Monroe is full of them but it's thick for .22 hunting. I love the challenge though. If I didn't have a baby at home I would have hunted longer.
last one I shot.
thanks, about 25 yrds.Nice little piney with iron sights and a pistol! What distance would you say?
Any time spent in the woods is worth it. Good on you for the one you brought home, and putting your family as a priority. How old is the youngun? We're expecting our second late October. I have a feeling I won't get out for deer this year! Haha
My son, my brother and I went out this morning. Not a great day, as far as the squirrels were concerned but a beautiful day. The last couple of years, I have been hunting them with my .36 caliber flintlock.
Today, I decided to take my Gamo Big Cat .22 caliber pellet rifle. I have used it on rabbits with great success and was not disappointed with it on squirrels. Using some 15 grain pointed lead pellets and it put them down quick.
my grandson and i went fri evening and i was able to take 3
this pic was sat morn when we each got one before it got really. we went again this morning, perfect day, no wind and squirrels cutting hard. we were hunting a woods that had amanage cut bout 10 years ago and has a 15 ft heavy canopymaking it hard to spot them cutting in the taller hard woods but were able to eack take one as we were leaving. he shot the gray.
a friend of mine had a new 10/22 that did the same thing. itold him to shoot a couple boxes of cheap stuff thru it real fast and probleb went away.Can't wait for this weekend I'll be out. I gotta get my extractor issue worked out though, been having major failures to eject with my brand new 10/22. Tried all kinds of ammo and same results, currently using mini mags.
that was my dads rifle he got it for his 15th bday in47. its been my primary squirrel shooter since 69.Nice Winchester Model 74. I have the same rifle that my Father bought in 1941 before he left for the war.
