1st Red of the year

[dk1677]

Last fall was the last red I took ( total about 25) I had spotted this guy around for awhile but he was always on the move or off my property but this morning he was digging buy some shrubs. I took the 850 with RWS SHP's  and hit a little further back than ideal behind the ear but it did the job at 30yds.                                                                                                                                                                                                      Red42225 by David, on Flickr

Good shooting, nice pic 

I have a ton of them on my property up in the Catskill Mountains but they are so elusive I hardly ever get a shot at them.  To bad too cause the very first one I ever got I skinned it and fried it up just to see how they'd taste and found out they were terrific

 Dave , nice shooting on that red devil! I have one scurrying back & forth through my place to the neighbors most days. They are "game" (all squirrel) here in PA .
 Out of season now. BUT, like most any small critters, IF they are causing damage , a property owner may "take steps" to counteract such damage ( after
 consulting w/WCO's).

Dave, I always enjoy your posts of hunting success.  I hope you get more of them this year.
I sure wish there were some of those little squirrels around here.

Nice shooting Dave!  It sounds like you have almost rid the neighborhood of those red devils.
