Whatever

I've also shot many groundhogs in my garden.
Shooting down from the rear balcony into the ground.
Safety first.

Makes no difference, another one always occupies the vacated hole withing weeks.
But it makes me feel better.

Which reminds me...the countdown begins for America's weirdest holiday.
And you know which one I mean.

 

haha.. seriously? No squirrels? They rome this area like they own it. Little bastards will chuck egg-corns at me when Im in the yard

 

There's a few out here but not enough to be a problem.

 

“Keep on scratching”

 

That's no shit.
We had one we called the "Mad Bomber".
He'd deliberately try to hit you with acorns.
He connected from time to time, too.

I'd go to get my .22 and Poof! Gone.

 

“acorns”...Jersey not egg-corns


Stupid

 

my neighbor uses a blow gun, I find the things stuck around my yard.. he apparently cant hit shit

 

I see no point in that.
If you're gonna kill 'em, get serious.

I have a pellet gun, but it's not as accurate as my .22 with aperture sight and CCI mini-mag ammo.
A squirrel's hide is remarkably tough (as anybody knows who has ever skinned one).
I don't wanna bruise them, I wanna kill them.

 

Squirrel problem?

What squirrel problem?

 

Jeez, you use that? For squirrels?

That reminds me of the time my Dad was coming back from the fields for lunch.
He spotted a chipmunk in the strawberry patch.
So he dashes into the house and grabs the first firearm that comes to hand...his 8 mm Mauser.
Comes out and the little fucker was still there chowing down on a big strawberry.
Boom!
I run over and say, "You missed".
"No I didn't look again", he says.
And points at a little red spot on the ground.

Now that's overkill.

 

It's only a .22lr

 

My mistake, I assumed 5.56 mm.
I like it.

 

i used to have a Sheppard that was the best squirrel dog.. she attended to the yard pretty well. Gosh I miss her
Only,.she did this with everything.. one time she came around the back of the house with a chicken in her mouth.. dam thing was hollerin up somthing feirs

 

.22lr and 5.56

 

Dang, thats nice.. I like that

 

Goodnight all.. my eyes hurt. Long day

 

G'night

 

Or wearing nothing but his captain’s hat, a bath robe and a varmint gun?
