All he wanted was his first squirrel kill for Xmas. The GF asked me not to bring any guns to Christmas this year since I cleaned house last year.

So I listened, and got this one early this morning at the house!

Sent an AEA 18.3 through the left vitals and out the right shoulder. Dropped like a stone out of the tree.

I was loading up the van with presents to take to dad's and caught this one going up the tree. I had one pellet left in the mag from yesterday's sight in. I grabbed the Pup and went out.

The rat was up in the tree, heading down a branch about to jump to the power lines. I lead her a few inches and she stopped just before the jump and I took my shot.

Anywho... Merry Christmas everyone!
(Its okay, squirrels don't know its Christmas)

I remember when I used to do this. Its been a long time ago when I decided to stop using animals for target practice.
Not because I'm an anti-gunner- or affiliated with any ridiculous political class or party. It came down to, " what gave me the inalienable right to take a life of another living being...........
Wildlife photography was a big part of that. When I became one with them and shot them without taking a life.
You see, I don't just hunt a few short seasons per year. I hunt all year long. Through all the seasons..
Each year, I see less and less of the animals. And each year there are more and more, people, killing.
I save my guns for the paper. If I had to survive in a critical situation where it's eat or be eaten. I would do that.
In the meantime, I can afford a hamburger.
My grandfather used to say, " never love a calf because you may have to eat him/her one day.

If you don't like people shooting pest animals or hunting for food, then don't enter the hunting gate of the forum.

I'll never understand why you types get on here and just have to comment on these posts, and always state you're not affiliated with a certain side of blah blah blah. That leads one to think you are in fact affiliated with a certain "political class or party".

As for my reasons. The squirrels tear up my chicken coop and feed so I keep them in check. I keep their numbers under control at my dad's place because they chew up 100s sometimes 1000s of dollars of Christmas lights every year if I don't cull a dozen or so each season.

Also, I call BS on there are more people killing more animals each year. Squirrel hunting in particular has had a significant drop in my state and their numbers are out of control in certain areas. You are seeing less of them because there are more people and people build homes and drive animals out.

Anyways...

You do you, if you don't like something someone else is doing that isn't hurting you or is illegal, STFU and move on.
