I saw at least 25 squirrels, both fox and grays, whilst I was out deer huntin this morning... Little stinkers knew I wasn't going to shoot them with my big loud muzzleloader and scare all the big bucks off so they came in to about 20 yards and sat on their haunches... If only I had had a .22 or Judo point with me! Just wait til I tag out...

Oh, Ben...... I've been making a calling stand on the bottom, before feeding for the last few days. Wanted to use the whoregnat in closer-quarters than the open prairie provides. Then this guy shows himself at a little farther than I wanted, but wouldn't come in. Had to poke him at about 130yds, and he run aways after the hit. Piled up maybe 50 yds from impact.....

They were about a mile from the feed/grain so I didn't shoot any. Closer my parent's house we had a couple that were chitting all over everything. They are now deceased.

I know coons travel in troupes alot of time but I had a pard down in Clyde Park that was checking on a racket his chickens were making in the barn one night, went out with his 10/22 and killed 23 (!) coons....

I was gonna say... that has been one very very busy Ruger lately...
I've been wondering if it has the highest kill count of any Ruger 17 Hornet in the country...
