Out with the Crosman 2100 and some 8.4gr JSB's again. Flash and Flytrap were dashing about ecstatically treeing squirrels. I didn't shoot any , not feeling terribly blood thirsty. I did plink a few pine cones to keep my aim sharp. The dogs were terribly frustrated that I didn't bring down any squirrels. I've taken them along on several hunts recently. Normally they are pretty indifferent squirrel dogs but this year Flash seems to be catching his snap as a hunting dog. He was with me the day I shot four nutters and it seems to have really changed his attitude. Now, squirrel hunting is his new game. He has always barked when he sees a squirrel. Now he gives a high pitched whinning cry when he trees one. Crying to a treed squirrel is probably the most important squirrel dog characteristic. It lets me know he's got one treed and helps me find him in the dense second growth that I hunt. We spent a fun hour running squirrels till dark.

My master plan is to get me a dog, once all 3 kids are out of the house. Shhhh don't tell them, I said that. They want a dog, but I'm not cleaning up after 4 "kids"! Looking forward to finally having a quiet, obedient hiking, camping, fishing, hunting buddy. My kids have grown to be city slicker type teenagers

What have I shot today?

Looks like it'll be only X radiation today. Getting our first snowfall of the season.

You’re raising kids without a dog(s)?

Walked the dawg around the property yesterday with my Beeman R10 in hand, didn't see a single nutter.
Emptied the single pellet in it into a tree trunk.

Maybe today will be better.

While taking a coffee break while catching up on work around the house, due to working 6 days a week for the last 3 months, I shot what I'm calling the GTA community gun, since it has been passed around from member to member for some time now. 4 out of 5 shots covered by a dime @ 10 yards off hand, with a flyer 2" off I think it was my bad.

It no longer wears a scope but has upgraded open sights.

I got one of those!
I traced it's linage back 4 members... for the life of me I do not know why.

Does "shots" of Vodka count?

Too cold and wet here to get out to shoot, but next week is looking to be pretty good. Probably the last good stretch of weather before Winter sets in.

Little early Chris... but I say "SURE!"

I shot my PP750 for awhile today probably around 100 shots then I shot my 22 armada a bit and the ol 25 cal gen 1 marauder took 2 yard invaders.

A single 18.2gr H&N Baracuda Hunter Extreme pellet, with my Crosman 1400, at a squirrel. Said squirrel is now deceased.

Nice shooting, Carter.

OTOH, I missed my only opportunity this weekend. Weird, how little they have gotten out after our hurricane blew threw.

5 targets and 5 pellets on each using a different brand for each target using my 2400KT. Too cold and windy to shoot outside so down to the basement I went. Gun is so quiet with the Geo LDC that family upstairs had not idea I was shooting. Even our nervous dog didn't notice.

I shot my Diana 34 at both 10 meters and 23 yards using Crosman 7.4 grain pointed pellets and at 10 meters they are pretty good, at 23 meters they totally stink. It doesn't help that my stock screw keeps loosening up so I put blue loc-tite on the threads and hopefully it will stay put. If the screw backs out after applying the loc-tite I think I might Tig weld a threaded stud to the action and put a steel sleeve in the stock bolt hole.

Fox squirrel with my D34 .177 @ 38 yrds. How do I know it was 38? He was sitting on a post that has been carefully ranged ahead of time. That first hash mark of holdover and a gentile squeeze.......
