First squirrel in my tree in ages and boy he got balls!
Haven’t had a squirrel in my yard/tree in absolute ages!!! For months I read hunting section with envy and check my oak tree everyday with disappointment.
This morning just as I was finishing up my coffee I noticed movements of leaves in my oak tree and there is no wind!!! Ran to the garage with excitement to grab my backyard assassin aka DreamTac compact with mag of 177 hades. Peaked around the corner of my house and there it is, a big fat fox squirrel trying to figure out how to get to my bird feeder. It saw me and ran up the tree trunk to where it felt safe to assess the situation. I put the center dot on the vital and squeezed the trigger, clack and thud! It disappeared behind the trunk, no movement for almost a minute so went looking for it. Turned out it took a dirt nap 10 feet from the tree trunk.
And boy this guy sure got balls to try to raid my bird feeder!
Found the hades pellet just under the skin on the other side, perfecto!
What a great start to a beautiful Friday morning! Hope everyone have a great weekend!
Edit: I can’t believe this!!! After breaking the dry spell I got 2 more in 2 day which makes it 3 in just over a week! Thanks @beerthief!
Good Friday nutter:
Then this morning or day after Good Friday!!!
