Good shooting...

You should change your signature to "The Squirrel you DO turn around for is Meat In The Pot" :p

Funny Bill!

You make great jerky Dave. That might just be a trade!
I want to make some small single-serving pies.

Squill season is through the end of Feb - plenty of time to whack some more!

After I shot the first one on Saturday morning the one standing beside it (pictured) stood up to attention motionless, and stared at the first one. I really like shooting at a standing squirrel because it makes range-estimating less critical. Bad luck for him.

I turned the 9 point total jerky, about about 2/3rd left.

The first was at 20 yards.
That second one was at 23 yards. I put the 20 yard pin on his head and the arrow dropped into his vitals.

I'm afraid to try head shots on squirrels anymore because I invariably miss high. :mad:

Good shootin Walt. :)

I haven't shot at a squirrel yet this year but I did kill a B&C raccoon Sat morning. :)

seems like when I take the gun, squirrels wrap me up and when I take the bow, they know. :D

That's funny Bowman.
I've had the same thing happen to me though.

I've often wanted to pop the head off a squirrel with the muzzleloader, but have never tried it.

A post from the stand...

I drilled a big old doe about half an hour ago and I'm hanging out still waiting for a buck to come by.

In the mean time I just popped another big squirrel. That's 4 for 4 bayyyybeeeee! Man, are the other squirrels pissed off! :-) They've been barking for 15 minutes.

What are you doing with the dead squirrels?

I'm wanting some of those reds in Ohio almost as much as a deer.

My home is kinda like a taxidermy museum but I don't have any big reds. :rolleyes:

I'm skinning and gutting them, and into the freezer they go.
When there are enough, they will go into the crock pot to be made into squirrel pie.

I agree about those big reds in Ohio, Bowman. They are beautiful squirrels.
The taxidermist wanted $200 to mount that one you skinned for me, so it's still in the freezer. Probably freezer burned by now. :-(

Man.... I want to go back to Ohio and spend two weeks there, and maybe go back to the ridge above the camp for another red fox squirrel.
