5s our limit

[DLP]

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!

[AncientSword]

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!

[JimD]

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

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!

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.
