Probably not my best shot ever but damn proud of this one...

Great shot and write-up!

FYI on ground squirrels: Here at the ranch I hunt them all the time and they are challenging - much more so than tree squirrels. GS take off or dive in their hole when they see you, only often they re-appear later nearby to see if you're a danger. Typically this takes 5-10 min, but if you can be patient they often re-appear. Many times I find they've climbed up a shrub or tree stump to scope me out - sometimes only showing their head. So they can be hard to spot but sometimes easier to shoot while they sit and glare at you.

The other key is 50 yards, outside of 50 yards and you have a good chance to get them, my minimum distance is 52 yards, max is 125 or so, the or so is because it's where I'm at, at any given time, It's fun to nail the little suckers when they are resting on a log or fence rail, final beauty sleep.

It’s always fun reading these when you have been in the same situations. Good shooting
