No, it has a fish stringer end attached to it, that I use to carry squirrels with in early season, rather than a vest. This is a better pic of it fastened to the foot.

Spent a great afternoon out squirrel hunting Saturday afternoon over at the inlaws place. It was 48 degrees with wind from 1-5 mph, just right to not sweat and have to battle mosquitos. Took the Kimber again and got 4. Saw 6, but missed a long shot on what should have been #5; by then my neck and left shoulder were killing me from looking up so much (multiple ruptured discs) and the sixth squirrel was playing hide and seek in a tall oak with lots of leaves and shadows. Gave up on it, and it was approaching too dark to see anyway. All four that I shot were at very close range, none more than 20 yards away.

First one of the season, taken the week before last.

Four more for the pot with the old .410 Stevens single. I have to admit, three of the four were small enough that I felt bad about shooting them. Shouldn't take much cooking though!

That is a cool looking animal.. Our squirrels have short stubby tails, and are brown in color.. Many of those things around..????

WCH I shot a bunch of those things in Washington state...but they aren't high volume shooting like our goths and PDs...you never warm up a barrel on them.

WCH yes, they are diggers, in fact all I ever heard them called was " Gray Diggers".. And as for Big gophs...how are these next to a 6.5 inch barreled Bisley...shot a lot like that on the Hi-Line...

Mad Dog hasn't started a thread this year for posting up our squirrel hunting pics, so I guess I will! Anyone welcome to share their small game hunting shots. Got to hunt for around an hour before dark this afternoon with the Kimber Hunter 22; saw three, shot one. Redhead from around 45-50 yards. Second squirrel bolted from the same tree, and it scrammed outta there at high speed never presenting a hope of a shot. Saw the third rustling around in a small oak and sat down and waited. And waited. Nothing. It teleported away. Beautiful Kimbers. Big fan...

Couple of seasons ago. Last time I’ve been.
By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.
