Beautiful fall morning in the squirrel woods. I saw five and killed five. Win Model 97 32 inch full choke.
A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.

I got my limit of 6 this afternoon. Been out four times so far this month {season opened sept 1 here} and have killed a total of 21 squirrels. All with shotgun so far {12 ga. Mossy 500 and 16 ga. J.C. Higgins double} but am getting bored with it so will be switching to the .22 this weekend.

I usually use a rifle but when hunting by myself I like to just sit under a Hickory at daylight with a shotgun just like I did as a kid.

I like a shotgun until at least some of the leaves disappear then I switch to a 22 or 17hm2. Fun times either way.

Havent shot a squirrel since I was a teen, was great fun. Plan on heading out with the kids by my side in a couple weeks. Will be taking my remmy fieldmaster that was my grandfathers.

usually carry a rem fieldmaster mdl 572. right now, we're not seeing a lot of squirrels. i think they migrate or come and go.

16 GA in the 97 is about as good as it gets in a pump shotgun

I had one for awhile many years ago. Didn't fit/handle great for me and I couldn't hit with it as good as some of my other pumps but it did look great hanging on the livingroom wall.
