im ready for some squirrel hunting with my .22

[Hookeye]

I might take the 780 Marlin.
Used to go pistol for fox and greys, but haven't been in years.
If I head out now it'll be just to nuke pineys.

Looks like Saturday us as early as I'm getting out. Browning Auto T/D in .22 short with some home made Eley short hollow points til the leaves thin out. Then .22lr for a while. .17 mach2 late when the shots get longer.

looked like ground squirrels. I'd have to be pretty hungry.

I need to get a few for the freezer, because I just finished off last years squirrels today. I had some freezer burn on some of the meat , so just deboned what I had. Used the pressure cooker with onoin, potato, cream of muhroom soup, along with the browned meat and it turned out real tasty. I like using my NEF .17 HMR for squirrel, head shots only and I have a couple 22's if I want to get them out. I like that the weather is cooling off also. Well good luck fellas...don't you just love this time of the season?

All I use is a .22 rifle. No starting out with a shotgun here. Sounds silly.

Wear blaze orange and sit in a tree. They'll be all over you!

My favorite squirrel medicine is a .410 Remington 870 pump loaded with 3 inch shells of #6 shot.

I had two faves........a Kart slided Colt 1911 and a Rem 121.
Might have to annoy pops enough to let me borrow the Kart.

I'll be going out with my Ruger 10/22 and my Ruger blackhawk elite air rifle

A little after daylight this morning the old 16 gauge Lefever was knocking them out of some tall hickories.

Of all the horrible hunting scenarios, getting busted by a squirrel for itching your nose, and having to sit there with a loaded gun for 5-15 minutes while he barks at you is the worst. Even worse, when he's so close you are debating if you can get your knife out and into his furry face before he a) runs away and b) you fall out of the tree.

Sounds like the perfect scenario for why they made hunting with silencers legal
