The squirrels have just overrun the creek bottoms, deadfalls, and especially barn foundations this year. I've been averaging @ 10 a week just plinking within 100 yards of the house since the beginning of June. Combined with a little Euro dove action it makes for a nice break when I get home from work.
I included a pic that I took of a catastrophic exit wound on a Euro dove. I center punched it through the chest and the exit hole was just...well, the picture says it all. Most of the time I avoid hitting the breasts if I can so I can save the meat, but this one got fed to a skinny barn cat. I don't know if that NSA 26.8 gr. (.25 cal of course) from the FX MKII tumbled or what but DAMN! I've been saving up my dove breasts to make sausages.
