Here's some old pics from quite few years ago back home in southern IN. Good times! Nothin' like squirrel hunting with dogs...

This season is not going well.

Usually there is an abundance of squirrels but this year I've seen three.

Of those three I shot two. Of those two I was able to recover one. The other thrashed into the creek during a snow melt.

I need to get out and pattern the tracks to see if something's killing them off or if their habits have changed for some reason.

Working on shooting down a big ol' dead tree with the surplus rifles at the moment to try to provide more cover for them from hawks and such while they're on the ground.

Regards,

Josh

Here's a good one from the family archives. That's my great grandfather Frank Baron on the far right, with the Baron boys (brothers and cousins) after a fine day of hunting in Somerset County. Probably my favorite hunting photo I have.

That is one COOL photo. But where is Somerset Co.? Probably a lot of them.

Can you ID any of the guns, and do you have any of them today?

Somerset County, PA. They lived in and around Holsopple, PA to be exact. The photo was taken in Johnstown (not sure why, maybe they rolled into to town just to take the photo? ha). I am not sure where the guns are today, my grandfather may have one but I am not sure. My dad told me what the guns were, I think a couple model 12s and some others. I'll have to ask him.

My old Savage 24 .22Mag over 20 gauge. And yes, both these tree rats were hit with the .22 Mag, not the 20 gauge.

and i always thought using my .223 for squirrel might be overkill...


"8mm rem mag, reach out n' touch something"

"Those who say the .223 is weak probably have never heard of the "meat grinder".

Looks like a custom, reverse taper barrel on that Ruger. What's the details with that?
