Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Small Game Squirrel Hunting Pics

Haven't posted much here lately, thought a good photo thread would be nice. Killed these with my favorite rifle, the Kimber Hunter 22 I got a few years ago.

as Alton Brown would say, "now that's good eats"

great pics, and certainly a great rifle.

Nice stuff Pillip!! If ya ever get tired of that Kimber ship it up to MI. That one is a dandy!

Here's a couple of pic's from my favorite squirrel guns. CZ452 American and Ruger MKII both 22's.

I hope quite a few more pictures keep getting posted, but the small game section is pretty quiet here. I wish I had one to add for this weekend, but I saw none, didn't get a shot.

Me and a buddy of mine killed seven last week at my farm but I forgot to get pictures due to it getting dark. Maybe I'll have a few more with my kids doing the killing with their rifles.

That really is a sweet looking rifle. I really love the wood. Oh, nice squirrel to.

Yea that kimber is the mutts nuts! I should know as I have it's twin in the safe. Same scope too! Great hunting rifle that's fo sure.

Nice gun dinner and blades

When you get an opportunity to have a squirrel dinner you have to shoot them with the gun you are carrying at the time. While coming out of the woods from deer hunting at mid day a few days ago I took this with a 30yd head shot. Marlin 45-70 Guide Gun, .405gr bullet.

Bama-

What scope and rings do you have on that CZ?

Wabbit vs hunter, wabbit loses. Rabbit dinner results.

A 45-70 is definitely overkill for squirrels



But the final results is worth the cost of a bullet..

Bama-

What scope and rings do you have on that CZ?

Leupold Vari-XII 2x7x33 w/ CZ med high rings.

Here's the ex-mate of the first fox squirrel pictured. Got him on friday.

CZ 452 Varmint w/Leupy 6.5-20



My most favorite--Remington 513 Sporter w/Kollmorgen Bear Cub scope in Stith mounts--classic blued steel and walnut, and deadly accurate.

Looks as though the fox squirrels aren't fairing too well this year.

I'd enjoy these pics a lot more if I had actually seen a squirrel when I hunted them yesterday in WV!

In the rain!

The squirrel population is way, way down. Virtually no mast.

My favorite place is "off limits" right now since the guy with grazing rights leased is also a deer hunter and doesn't want me to scare off his big buck--so I have to wait until the first week in January to get back at 'em. However, I have a second favorite place that I can go when I am not in my bow stand--

Got three today down at the inlaws place.
