Title: Got a red today!
Post by: dk1677 on July 14, 2020, 05:12:56 PM
With the hawks usually around things have been very quiet but this morning this guy was out and so was I with the Disco and hunter extremes. I caught him as he came out from under a bush at about 40yds, a lower shoulder shot that ended his raiding days.  :D                                                       (https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50112532478_3b502e32f2_h.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/2jmgQ1E)R71420 (https://flic.kr/p/2jmgQ1E) by David (https://www.flickr.com/photos/150676152@N05/), on Flickr

Dave, great shot as usual! Your tally of squirrels and chippers must be close to quadruple digits with your Disco!

Nice shot placement.


We don't have reds around here, but the reds that are in Illinois are protected.


Only reds I've shot were in Montana and i couldn't believe how nasty and agressive they were.

Whoever made red squirrel a protected species in IL has apparently never seen the damage they do.  In Michigan the red squirrels are considered a pest species, can be taken any time of the year.  They are aggressive, territorial and destructive.  They chase away or try to bite any other bird or squirrel in the area and chew holes in buildings to gain access to the interior (like my garage).
