Have I mentioned this gun rocks?
Ok, I digress... bagged a couple early morning nutters. Opening day here in MO, but these were here at the house. I might go later if the bugs clear out and the honey do list is done.
Ok, so first squirrel I noticed in my front tree, she was walking a branch slowly, and sniffing/licking it. I think following the males scent trail. I hadn't seen him yet, but I sent a 21 grain cuda into her neck and spine. She dropped DRT, and not a pass thru...
PERFECT. All that energy dumped into her and it was about a 20 yard shot. I went and retrieved her, and she's a good size rat, gunna cook her later. I barely got back to my porch, and I hear the male scratching around.
He was definitely aware something happened, but it was such a quiet shot, all I heard was the thud of the pellet. This guy was all over for a bit, but then he settled down and came down to the base where she had landed.
He kept bobbling around, but I finally just took a quarter vital shot, and he dropped with just a little roll and twitch. Hit him right front shoulder, and it exited in front of left leg. Soon as I rolled him over, a certain AC/DC song popped into my head!
Good luck on the hunt everyone!
