I made a post earlier on this year telling you guys about my new savage 22. Well i took it out this last weekend. We walked in and right when the sun came up i heard a squirrel cuttin. I went about 50 yards away from my dad and there he was sittin on a branch probly 35 yrds away. I rest my gun on a tree flip off the saftey and crack!!!! The squirrel runs down the tree never to be seen again! I wasn't upset becuase i know for a fact there are more than one squirrel in our woods. So we go and sit on a log and my dad spots one a little ways off. So i got up and put a stalk on him. I could tell were he was but there was to many leaves. Then out of nowhere comes another squirrel down the that same tree i put my gun on him and flip off the safety. He stops and crack!!! He falls out of the tree!!! ;D MY FIRST SQUIRREL WITH A 22 I WAS SO HAPPY!!! Well i ended out the day missing 2 others but o well i was satisfied with just him. So here he is! Goin back out tonight! Sorry for such the long story ;D.

Hoosier- I know that 2 out of the 5 were in hickories and all the others were cutting on nuts so it had to have been a tree that grows nuts im guessing. I dont really know my trees sorry. ;D

In time you will figure your tree breeds and be all the better hunter because of it! Way to go.
