I was probably in the woods for about an hour settled down on my three legged stool and spotted some movement about 40 yards away, I could see it on it's haunches and I nailed it on the left side right behind the front armpit, it ran about 3 feet trying to go up a tree and fell down motionless, when I got over there she was laying right on her back.
I did the picture of her right side (exit side). I was using 23 grain NOE Magnum Hunters.

Nice hunt, Wayne. A 40 yards shot is admirable. It looks to be on the chilly side though.

Wayne, I bet that squirrel wished you had taken another month off. Good shooting on a cold day beats not shooting at all.

Thanks for the great replies Luis, Dave, Randall and Steve !!! I would have gotten out earlier except I had a 10:00AM appt. with my VA doc for another clean bill of health prognosis, he also wished me good luck hunting because I elaborated that I really wanted to head for the woods (Doc Kennedy is an avid hunter big time) and when I got home I looked at the Radar and just had to go for it.
All in all I had a really fantastic day, I had three packages (all airgun related) waiting for me to start the day off prior to my much planned on woods walk. When the rain started to come I had to call it a day.
The packages that I had gotten in the mail are 5 foot long 3/8" virgin PTFE rods intended for making stuff for the co2's, a camera which is going to replace my old one that recently died and a couple nice bottles of oil to cover all my bases both PCP and co2's.

Thanks Ron !!! There's a lot of them here, we've got different variations of them too, last year I shot one that had a black belly and black mask, I've also got one the year before that was brindle all over.
