Anybody Squirrel hunting?

[NitroHunter]

I've not been in years, but there don't seem to be as many this year as in the past. I've not heard any shots and I've not talked to anybody that has killed a lot.

Dalton and I went yesterday morning. That kid is a great shot with his .22, he killed 4 and could've killed 20 but I stopped him. Those things are a bitch to clean by yourself.

Congrats to Dalton...how old is he?

I've taken a kid once and went once myself...not even one squirrel heard or seen on those trips. Maybe next year.

I saw one yesterday while deer hunting. It was the first one I've seen in the woods since Spring.

He is 12 and made two shots that I never would've even tried. All four squirrels where shot in the head or neck area.

The last one he shot was a huge fox squirrel in the very tip top of a very large hickory tree, I couldn't even see it. He found it in his scope and then told me, "He's looking right down at us". I jokingly said to shoot him between the eyes. He took off the top of his head.

You get him a .17 or is he .22ing?

.22 LR

I was toting my .22 mag but never fired a shot
