Please add 5 more for Team 1. Went to check the shooting houses for wasps and got another mixed bag. Used my old Marlin 881 with Remington Subsonics. Been a long time since I used that combo. Nice to hear those hollowpoints hitting home. Personal total is now 22.

Add 2 more for team 3 that decided to come back with me after this mornings hunt. Saw a couple more but they were unwilling to join us for the ride back home. Thought about frying up a couple of squirrels for an evening meal but realized we ate or gave most of them away. Well, at least these 2 will be on the menu tomorrow.

Add 1 more for team 3. While drinking coffee this morning and seeing 4 young squirrels running around in the backyard, I figured it would be a good day to be in the woods. At my age the choice would be to either stay home and work on my wife’s honey do list, or head to the woods. I chose option 2. I decided to hunt my neighbors woods for a change. That ended up being a bust. I only saw this one squirrel and sadly had to head back home and take another look at the never ending honey do list.

Please add 3 more for Team 1. Found a few paw paws that had dropped and also my first Chicken of the Woods mushroom! The bad news was the mushroom was old and completely dried out. Personal total is now 25.

Please add 5 more for Team 1. Abbie twisted her ankle yesterday playing Powderpuff flag football, so no youth deer season for us. So I went to a piece of private property where I knew no one should be hunting. Personal total is now 30. Also scored some fresh Chicken!!

Add 2 for team 3. I decided to eliminate a couple of squirrels from our backyard that were messing with the water feature and trying to plant hickory nuts in my wife’s flower pots. That should be a warning to the other squirrels that you better not mess with my wife’s flowers. I guess this guy didn’t read the above warning. His days might be numbered.

Add one more to Team 3. I was sitting beneath one tree and heard chewing more than. 50 yards away and decided to investigate. Walked down the trail, turned the corner and walked a little further. Then I saw this guy come out of some brush right along the trail towards me. It had just finished raining, so things were quiet and he didn't know I was there. Snuck closer to a tree and spotted him in the brush a bit closer to me. Then after the shot the fox squirrel who had been chewing showed itself up a tree and just barked at me and moved around a bit.

Please add 4 more for Team 1. Went to a new-for-me spot and it'll be a place to hit once every year. Saw 4 or 5 more including one I missed because it was too close. Shot right under it at probably 7 yards. Personal total is now 34.

Please add 1 more for Team 1. Probably my last squirrel hunt till I put a deer in the freezer, so I had to get my limit for the day to make my total a round #. 😁 Took my old Savage 20 gauge tonight. Personal total is now 35.

Probably not much left of the head after the hornet. 🤣 It's not bad at all. I only have it cruising around 2,100fps by the book. Right now, 52gr hpbt, 9gr H110, CCI 400. Its actually the 1st or 2nd load I tried, and the starting charge. Just wanted a tunable load that was super accurate. It does not disappoint! At 65yd, its shooting "mob" minute of eyeball. Lol.

Only put eyes on one other skurry today. Heard one barking as well, but that's it. We saw more acorns on the ground than ever.

I saw 6 after you left, all were running across the gravel road in various places. Didn't bother going after them, I was too tired, and didnt' get home till after 3pm my time.

Two more for Team 3. Second one is sort of hidden cause I need to target shoot this gun and probably adjust the sights slightly... It just about lost a foreleg then I was a little too close while putting it down. Spined the first one and he just tumbled off the log. Probably could have shot my limit but they preferred to stay in the thick brush. The chipmunks on the other hand don't care until I get within 10 yards of them and am moving around.

Going out now but it's hot enough I may just butcher on the spot to keep the flies off, so if I post photos it will probably just be squirrel legs in bags.
