Was getting milk for my baby and noticed a furry friend at the balcony for one. Ran upstairst and gently put my baby on the floor then gently pulled the trigger on the AEA SF in .30 in what would rank one of my all time best shot placements.
I usually do a double tap either to the body or the head just to be sure and expire the body faster but it as 6am and impact sounded like a gunshot lol. Saw him on the floor and knew he was DRT so I quickly closed the window and took care of my baby.
About 20 minutes later I went outside to clean and was shocked he wasn’t in the dirt but a good 3-4 feet away staining my yard with his blood. Luckily it washed away very easily but I’m really going to always follow up.. it wasn’t until I checked the footage that I realised how he got there.
There are some super zombie squirrels in my yard! A couple hours later I hit another one with a bad shot through the right hand, left arm, left leg. It ran off. I grabbed my BRK .22 and chased him to the corner of the fences and threaded a rock and fence post for another body shot. Put the pathfinder away and came back to get him with the fireplace tongs and it was still alive! Grabbed it and put it on a dirt pile and put 3 more into him at point blank before it stopped moving. The whole situation was a mess and I felt really bad. These squirrels are just tough mofos and anything except a perfect headshot just doesn’t get the job done.

looks like it could have missed the actual brain. 
Just by a tiny bit. Great work though
