Team Fort Nuts... Two for deadeer, one for Luke. Thermacell wasnt keeping up with the bugs, so we quit early. We got plenty to get ready for next weekends fishing trip anyway. As expected. 😝😝😝 Luke said, "Do you really NEED that much gun?" Well... I have so much fun hand loading and finding a good load, then being able to fold these critters at any reasonable distance. All the years of deficiency, I figure it's my time to turn the tables. Lol

I'd get out and hunt but between school and not feeling so well I haven't felt like it in the evenings. Due to some neck issues that make looking up a lot a struggle November is the best time for me anyway.... Easier to see them and they are on the ground more. Deadeer what did you use on that squirrel?? That's power there!

Please add one for Team 4. Public land, got in early morning and used a ground blind. Waited about 2 hours saw one right in front on a tree branch, about 30 yards But wasn’t confident enough to get a headshot, So just aim for the shoulder. Savage MarkII .22 is my choice of firearm. Would love to stay a little longer for more, but temperature getting very hot and needed to drive back home for some kids' stuff. Hope to get more in coming weeks.

Please add four for team 3. All four were female fox squirrels. I usually clean as I go but two out of the first three were on the smaller side and they usually skin easily so I waited until about 915 when it was time to go to clean them. As soon as I finished cleaning I heard another one start barking nearby. Walked over and shot that one. Early in the morning I shot a piney that I spotted sitting still on a branch. Normally I wouldn't disturb the woods for a piney but he gave me the perfect opportunity to confirm scope zero. Only one failure to fire today, on the very first trigger pull.

I've had quite a few of them pesky little pineys here at the house, I've gotten 3 or 4 of them with the shotgun and caught a few in my foot traps trying to get under the house. When I went squirrel hunting down the road I saw a mess of them. They're getting overrun with squirrels down there and they even got into one of there cars and chewed up the wiring which caused a fire. I usually hunt with a rifle this time of year but I'm tempted to bring the 12 gauge and clean some of them daggone pineys out some.

I have not been feeling good and haven't felt like getting out, plus the heat wave was terrible. My neck also kills me when hunting so I plan to get outside a lot more in November once they start hitting the ground a lot harder.

Please add 3 more for Team 3.
Sorry, no pic today. Abbie's phone screen has gave up the ghost and she has to have a mobile to be able to sign into an authentication app to access her college classes even while she's there. So I'm without a phone until her replacement gets here. Was at the trees at 7:30 this morning just as the squirrels were leaving. Saw several, but no shots. Could have got a limit with a shotgun though. Ended up shooting 2 of 4 that were playing around and one that was picking leaves and stuffing a nest. All three were young ones. Sat around and watched for the others that were chasing and playing to come back out, but never saw them again.
Personal total is now 14.
