Add 1 more to Team#1 LCB. Brings my personal total to 5. Just can't seem to get away from 1 squirrel per outing. Shoulda had at least 1 more, but....I missed him. Next few days look good weather wise, so I'm gonna try to get out 2-3 more times before next weekend. Didn't forget my camera this time.

One more for team 5. Sticking to my airgun is tough when you see so many but they won't present a shot through the foliage. Bet I seen 15 in my small patch of timber. Every nut tree of any kind had at least 1 cutting on it

5 more for Team #1. Didn't sleep in today.😁 Saw 8 more, but it was hard finding them sitting. They were all in Pignut Hickories and they didn't sit long cutting them. About like eating acorns. Last 3 were all out of the same tree. Personal total is now 24.

Score 2 more for team#1 LCB. Brings my personal total up to 7, so far. Hit the woods right at daylight, and headed to a pignut hickory, and set up. Wasn't 5 minutes and I had one cutting over my head. Took a shot and missed[grr]. Waited and had another one come into the hickory to feed. That one I nailed. After about an hour, I started heading towards the truck. Got up to the edge of the woods, and heard one barking. I decided WTH, and I dug out my Mr. Squirrel Whistle, and gave it a go. Within 10 minutes I had 4 different squirrels barking at me, but none I could get a shot at. I kept hitting the whistle, and looked up to the right, and there was one out on a limb at about 40 yds. !shot and straight down! Finally broke my 1 limb chicken a day routine, and got TWO! That squirrel whistle flat out works.

I was too preoccupied with fishing and completely forgot about the competition. Not that ever contribute much. I shot 4 ground squirrels yesterday and three more this afternoon. Hope they weren't Franklin's

Add one for Team 6. It's been a pretty slow start this season. Hunting a new location. Yesterday, I reset a few tree stands and then went back to the woods with the CZ452. Very quiet. After about an hour, a hawk lit down on a branch and 3 squirrels started barking around me. The hawk flew off and I just waited it out, looking for the sign of a tail twitch. After another half hour, a gray showed himself. Thick forest, canopy and low brush, so I had to wait for a decent window and a clear shot. I heard a few more, up high, cutting on Hickory. I never could make them out! Oh well, one for now. Mannlicher + CCI = Headshot!

Add 5 more for Team #1. Didn't find multiple squirrels till I got to the last tree, a Beech that held 6 grays. Got 2 out of that tree and at least 2 were still cutting when I walked away. Personal total is now 29.

I'm going to go old school the next time I am out, providing the gun still shoots the same. It's a Mossberg 151, but I don't remember the letter suffix (I believe it's "B"). Dad bought it for me when I was a kid and I was allowed to use it to squirrel hunt.
Now I gotta dig it out and see if it still will shoot. It wears a 4x 32mm scope I think, and I believe I know where the rear peep sight is.
