Squirrels anyone?

[hogpatrol]

I usually see three to five in the morning. Christmas morning, there were twelve. Caught seven in this frame. Unfortunately, the spouse and the county says no hunting in the back yard.

Cool pic. A air gun would solve that problem.

Looks like they're forming up for an attack! Prepare thyself!

 

[ARW]

Judging from the size of them they sure have been eating well. Fat little buggars!

Slow cooked, they match the best roast beef you have ever had.

They are cute in the picture, and would look very nice doing a back stroke in an iron skillet with onions and brown gravy too. I think about 90 minutes worth while on simmer would be perfect. WD

Removal for damage is legal in most locals. Live trap and quick death. How I thin the rabbit herd around here.

They look like they are hitting feed. If that's the case the county may be forgiving but I would suspect whomever put that feed out would not ;D

They get fed year round, whatever the birds don't get first. Have a healthy stand of red and white oak and beech trees behind the house also. The record is nineteen, a few years back in the middle of February. Opened the back door and it looked like the ground moved. Actually kind of scary.

I think an ethical thinning project is in order. Mushroom soup is your friend. Merry Christmas. jd

And a 222 with a 40 grain Sp and 4 grain Unique, but not in the area shown here...

Followed by s skillet, onion and BBQ sauce...squirrels like it, really...never heard a single complaint.

suppressed .22lr and some nice subs out of a bolt action. quieter than working the bolt. I'd sure thin them from inside the kitchen so no one's the wiser.

Man, you don't know how bad I'd love to have a few suppressors but in my state, they are totally illegal.

I would never be able to sleep at night knowing their were that many out their and could not shoot them.

 

[86alaskan]

man, sorry to hear that hogpatrol, if you want, come to missouri and i'll take you squirrel hunting, I've got cans for my .22lr and a pistol can I use on my 17HMR. we'll knock em out.

How did I miss this post? They've been climbing up the side of the house and onto the roof. Chewing at the pvc trim trying to get in the attic. I've got 23 of them so far in December. They've caught on to me though and have become more difficult. These three were shot out of the upstairs bathroom window. My old marlin .22mag. So much fun it's like being a kid again!

A gamo whisper 1200 .177 is quiet certain death for squirrels, coons, crows, ect out to 30-35 yds
