We got about 4” of new snow yesterday. It was wet and hung in the trees. I knew I was going to get wet but Deer season is over and I just wanted to take the Flashpup out for a change of pace. The squirrels were plentiful. Didn’t take long to get a limit. With the heavy snow hanging and then falling, none of the shots were far or much to brag about. But they were all head shots
-
Nice Darrell. Our limit here is ten - but I have not gotten more than four in any one hunt. Well done!
-
Darrel, excellent head shots on those 5 plump bushy tails! Not easy to do with different inclines or declines even if they were body shots!
-
Those look nice and big. Ours down here don’t get that big. Good shooting...
-
Great haul Darrell!
-
Nice job on the limit of squirrels!
-
Congratulations on a good hunt!
-
Cool,

Ya Manny, things might be slow out there for you now, but it would take one heck of a lot of squirrels to equal one of your pigs! So for that, I am envious of you! But I did manage a few deer this year.

Excellent shooting Darrell! Did not know they even Had bag limits on squirrels.
Jealous! (I’m out in the desert nothing to shoot...)

I don't know Darrell,
I'm starved for open places and game variety :)

Very nice haul Darrell. you did great!

Took another limit today with my new to me Wildcat MK3. It was 13* and dead still when I hit the woods. Just at daylight I had 12 or more Black, Grey and Fox squirrels all at one time come running my way. I have no idea what it was all about. They were chasing each other back and forth, up and down, everywhere. I was sitting on a log wearing my new snow camo. They were running and jumping on and off the log I was sitting on. I had one big Fox come right up to me. He was less then 6” from my gun barrel. I was so engrossed in watching them, I didnt even pull my gun up to shoot. When they finely moved on, I headed to the creek to hunt along a picked corn field. My first 2 were Greys using JSB 33.95 pellets. The last 3 were with NSA 35.5 slugs. Shooting at 910 FPS. I did see 5 other Black squirrels durning the hunt. But didn’t get a shot. It warmed up to 37* and sunny as I walked back to the truck.

Darrell, I am going to venture a guess that those squirrels were involved in a 'mating frenzy'.
Something similar happened in the woods I was hunting some years ago. I was surrounded by squirrels. They had me pinned down and I had to shoot my way out! ;) ;D
-
Gotta say Darrell those are some plump squirrels. Good shooting.
-
Really nice. The big reds in my neck of the woods(southwest Mississippi) are really hard to take. They will stretch out on a limb high in my a tree. Extremely hard to find when they do that. They will patiently wait you out, not moving a muscle until you leave the area. Cat (grey) squirrels get nervous after a few minutes and have to run. I took one several years ago that I eventually had mounted. 28 1/2” length from tip to tip.
