I finally sighted in my new crossbow. It's sweet. I like it a lot. Going to whack a ground squirrel in about an hour. Need pics!! Whacked him, 20yds in the head. Don't tell Mr. Hopper, but I baited him. I have a photo. I know how to text a photo.

This is the critter giving me problems, so I whacked him. I'm starting to sense another problem here.

I always called them the same thing. I don't remember seeing something that looks like a squirrel that stays on the ground. Oh, I do have a cute little squirrel that I thought was a grey squirrel. I'm pretty sure he climbs a tree sometimes; he's little. Hey, funny thing is that my landowner just bought some goats. I might be in trouble. I'll ask for photo ID before I shoot.

In the stand with my oldest on a new property. Had what I think was a 6 point come through but every time I could get him to stop, he was behind brush. I had the scope at 3x after our range session yesterday. Wish I had remembered to crank up the magnification a little.

Well about an hour after that possible 6 came through we had another one. Came right to the stand and she shot. Ran maybe 50 yards and that was it. Got him on ice now. 243 did a number on him even with reduced recoil loads.

Well, the bucks played along like we wanted. 0755 this buck came along headed to bed. I made a noise to stop him, and my young relative put an absolutely perfect shot on him. He did run out of sight though, so we gave him 30 minutes. At 0805, another nice buck came past. We got down a little later and found him immediately 20 yards from where he was shot. This kid's first deer, and the first deer off of my new home property. Not my kid, so I blurred the face.

It's the 2018 model they came out with. It was all the thrill at the time. It was new, but an older model. I've paid less for cars than they want for these new ones.
