Protect your nuts

[FamilyMan811]

The Air Arms has found its nitch dispatching critters along the more populated side of the property. Found a nutter all over my North facing bird feeders this morning. I watched as feast continued nervously head darting about. I took a final sip of coffee, chambered a 13gr JSB into the Air Arms S510 TDR as I gently slid the porch door open. I was greeted by a 30some degree stiff morning breeze that I was sure would only aid in masking my clumsy transition into an awkward version of the prone position. With the Athon already focused to the 25yds from a privious mission my eye focused on a completely impervious squirrel stuffing itself with an array of seeds and nuts. As my travel through the 1st stage of trigger pull drew to a close with my crosshair placed between the ear and eye my lungs emptied..heart between beats I broke sear and sent a 980fps lend encased grim reaper to take said nutter to the next stage of existence and add anothe lb or 2 to the freezer.

I dig this gun. Squirrels and other invaders not so much.

Nice work on that squirrel on a chilly morning! Beautiful place you have there--is that slope over the other side of the split rail fence as steep and long as it looks?

[FamilyMan811]

Thanks guys! And yes that slope is quite wicked! Drops about 40 50 ft to the lake and rocky too.

Nice detailed events of the great work done on that pest.  I have dispatched six out of my pecan trees in the last two weeks.  There's an acorn tree right next to them, but the squirrels didn't get that memo apparently.  Too bad for them.
