I just come out of the woods, and I was in at sunrise!
I definitely do not have the “omega magic!”
Tons of songbirds, but I did not see nor hear one single squirrel!
And then it dawned on me!
No wonder…
IT’S NOT DEER SEASON!🤠

Please add three for team 3. I clean them as I go but here's a pic of the first of the day. All males. I don't know what is going on with my 10/22. I had about ten failures to fire today. After last season I detail cleaned the gun. Took the bolt apart cleaned that. Cleaned the chamber. Maybe a bad batch of mini mags. First squirrel that I tried to shoot today the first three rounds in the mag didn't fire. Despite that, fun was had.  |

Never even seen a skurry on the road, in a yard, or nothing. We went to Kingsbury FWA and went straight to the hickories. Nothing. Of course seen everything else, deer, turkeys, etc. Did have the craziest encounter ever though! I stepped on a weasel, ferret, or what ever it is, and it screamed out!!! I ONLY jumped about 5 feet straight up! Lol. It sat there and looked at us, we both wondered if it was hurt or what. It sat there for a few minutes while I took its picture. I walked up to it and it ran off just fine. What an experience!  |

Went out to a public FWA around 8 AM. Heard a lot birds singing,even saw a few squirrles running, but none of them were in good shooting range or position.
Thinking about using some peanuts as bait next time. Anyone had any experience with baiting?

Much better action today. I shot two with three shots, but one is stuck in the tree. 😡 Luke is 0 for 3 shots. We are using some low grade guns with stiff triggers. That's our excuse anyway. Lol.  |
