Yeah, nice photo!  How did you convince not one but two squirrels to get up there on the stump and take a nap next to your rifle?  That's enough to make David Attenborough proud.

I like that, that was funny. I guess after a little over 18 grains of JSB , they felt the need for some rest. My longest shot of the season so far, just a tad over 60 yards on the one. The other one was 52 yards. Went to the big woods today, not many squirrels like the hickory thickets I have been hunting this year. But at least you get some longer shots. Thanks for the nice comments ;D

Haha, I try.  Too hard sometimes, in fact.

Both at distances over 50 yards is something to be proud of.  Nice shooting!  I'll take those shots off a rest or tripod but not off sticks or braced against a tree.  But regardless of how you did it, it's a sign of great marksmanship, pellet selection, rifle preparation, ranging, hold, breathing and trigger control.  Well done!

I almost always lean my rifle against a tree. I did shoot several last week off hand with the Hummer. But that is not the norm for me. When I hunt I never sit down, always walk and just stop next to a tree.

Yeah glad you brought than loud black sling to my attention, need to get my camo sling on it.  I actually think carrying total black gun in the woods is like talking out loud while stalking a squirrel . I know every time I see a Black Bear in the woods  it stands out like it was dressed in blaze orange.
