Good day for squirrels

[Rob228]

Back in the states for a bit, went to visit my father in Upstate NY. These little guys are going in a pan with some butter and garlic.

Did all the damage in his backyard with a .17 HMR. Not a ton of meat damage if it didn't hit bone. Good times.

Good day for squirrels

As long as you aren't a squirrel!

Looks good to me. I've never eaten them because if I take a 22lr out comes something I need another gun for. Since I bring a 12 gauge i'm good for all birds but pepper the squirrels a bit hard.

Looks like a litter of pups taking a nap after being fed. LOL

Hope the visit with family is all good. Enjoy.

Nice shooting. Stewed squirrel with dumplings is good too. Now I am missing my childhood.

"...Not a ton of meat damage if..." Very little with a 12 gauge either. It's all about the choke and shot size used.

Squirrel hunting:
More fun before noon than a whole season of deer hunting!

You can now dine in high fashion. Great bag of squirrels.

Look at using #4 or 5 Shot for passing through a squirrel. Even the lenght of a Fox.

Heck yea. I need to get back into hunting squirrels with a handgun. Something about the challenge I just love doing it.

Just dont hit a #4 or #5 with a tooth. Bad if lead-dentist if steel. The dentists love it.

Just reminds me of that scene from Duck Dynasty when my wife was watching it. Phil was shooting squirrels out of a tree with a city slicker standing by, and the tenderfoot asked, "Is that safe?" Phil said, "For me, yes, for the squirrel, not so much."
