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. We might trust your word without photos. Wait till you get older and you actually "forget" to take them. 😇 lol Speaking of which, do you have a lenght/weight on the Smallies?

how to screenshot on windowsNow we all know Woody Williams is the judge and jury for the squirrel hunting contest. I’m thinking this chipmunk I got should be worth at least a quarter point and maybe a full half point for as small of a target he presented. This chipmunk does resemble a shrunk squirrel. Well, it was worth a try. 😀

Hoping to get a little time this weekend in the skurry woods. Calling for some wind, so that will be the deciding factor. Hopefully calm first off for a bit.

Yes, that's what I was thinking. With all the acorns on the ground maybe they will be running around there?

Please add 2 more for Team 1. Didn't have time this week to pull everything together to be ready for bow hunting this morning. So I checked out a new spot that is an old road bed. I've done well hunting another old road bed on the other side of Glendale, but this one seemed pretty void of squirrels. May visit it again on a year with a bumper crop of squirrels, but only saw 4 squirrels total today and 2 were grays that surprised me on the ground and were gone before I could get the gun unslung. Personal total is now 37.

Raining bloody murder at our house this morning. Radar showed a thin lake effect band. Drove on down to our spot and bone dry. I sat down and saw about 8 or 9 skurries right away. Got lined up with the ole 22 hornet and knocked out 3 in a row. I also dropped a piney but cant find it. Breeze just starting to pick up, so gonna try for just a little longer. Edit in to add one more. 4 today, 7 total for the season now. Funny, I have still never taken a full limit in a day. This ain't bad tho. Skurry and dumplings on the menu soon.

It was hailing too - about pea sized. I wasn't but a few miles from your house and got soaked.

Please add 1 more for Team 1 for this morning. So foggy this morning I couldn't see the tree tops. Fog cleared out and wind picked up a little. Chased a lot of birds this morning. Saw one other squirrel that was in high gear to get away from me on the ground! You'll have to settle for an "after" photo of this one. I was in a hurry to get home and skin it out to take Abbie to lunch an forgot to take a pic till I was done. Personal total is now 39. And yes, I do have dead spots in my yard. 😁

It was moving and jumped right as the sear broke and it hit the back of the ribs while I was shooting straight up. Front and back halves were held together by a strip of hide on either side. After that it was nothing but stationary shots and preferably in the head which is usually pretty much removed.

One more for team 3. Had my last few weekends booked and managed a small excursion. Can't wait until the schedule clears and I can get some good time in the woods.

I ended up only seeing one skurry when hunting. I did make a successful 50-60yd head shot it, right on the money. Fun to see them look like they were struck by lightening. Just fall from the sky, stone dead. That makes 8 total for me so far.
