OK, finally time for my weekend update. 9 more for Team 3. Makes 10 total for my individual count. Five on Friday morning where I do my firearm deer hunting and 4 more on Saturday at Ownen-Putnam for the campout/hunt. Friday- hard to see with the lighting through the canopy, but 4 fox and 1 gray. Saturday morning- all grays Didn't photo the single afternoon gray. I was in a hurry to get it cleaned so I could visit with Jon Snow and nfalls116 at the campground.

Well score one more for team #1 LCB. Finally have shot a daily limit[5] course it's taken six trips to the woods to get one daily limit..... Saw probably 5 different squacks. shot at 3 and nailed 1. At least it was a head shot. Finally found a hickory that they were really cutting on. But man they were skittish! maddog

don't reckon it'd be to hard to kill a squirrel with no legs or tail. Yikes..... We prefer to take them out piece by piece ... bad part is it takes 6 shots to get one killed that way!!!! Squirrelbuster, normally I just toss them away with the hides and guts, but this year I've saved the majority of them; thinking about making some fishing lures or something. If all else fails I'll probably strip the bone out and send into Mepps.

Add 5 more for Squirrel Team 6, finally limited out it's been quite a few times out prior to Sunday morning where I've failed to get more than 3. All 5 for Scott Nfalls, I left the feet and tails on them this time to give them a fighting chance

Congrats I'm not thinking he had too much trouble with these. When I saw you posted in this thread, I got excited thinking you got one. It's just the optimist in me.

I think it should be worth 20 points anyway.

Perhaps the others had some sort of zombie strain in them... I'll have to initiate a 7 shot standard on these from now on ie. Rule #2 "The Double Tap" - to the noggin just for good measure!!!

Thanks trapperdave. I wouldve put a few more down but I got cocky one day and took my 22 victory out and missed two that would've been easy pickings for the marlin. I don't know how people hunt squirrels with a handgun!lol

I don't know how people hunt squirrels with a handgun!lol It's fun,I've taken lots over the years with a handgun,in fact,that's what I'm using this year and have 3 already. Course, I've only been out twice,didn't see any the last time I was out. Planning on going either tomorrow or Thurs. weather permitting.

Ive been thinking bout learning to make my own and make use of the tail.
