The next few days should be very good after this cold front moves through today. Highs in the mid 70's and lows in the mid 50's.

Luke, you better get one of those click counters to keep track, I feel some limits for me in the near future... eek laugh :p h.h.

I ended up getting one this evening after some terrible shooting by me. I am shooting my grandfathers old .22 he gave me when I was a kid. It has iron sights and the only problem is: when I was a kid the closest sight wasn't blurry and I could see fine!!! I missed that squirrel like 4-5 times and was pretty frustrated. Luke walked up and was giving me a hard time. I could see the squirrel hiding near the top of the tree but Luke could not, so I decided to shot at it to make it move so he could get a good shot. Not thinking I would hit it, I shot and nailed it right in the head!!!!

Time to scope it up.

Lol. If iron sights were the rule, the harvest would be pretty low. Us old guys, and you're not old yet Bean, typically can't see for crap.

I was in the woods at daybreak today and shot one male in 5 minutes and that was it. Squirrels did not move or feed this AM. The one I shot was a head shot at 20yards and he was coming down a small tree with a branch in his mouth.

There were a lot of nuts laying on the ground and not much sign but I have seen a lot of squirrels this summer coming to my feeders so I know they are there.

I had Lazik on my eyes about 14 years ago and still have 20/15 in both but I tried hunting with my Remington 41P and cant see worth a hoot in low light conditions with peep sites. Its hard to knock one out of those big oak and hickory's I have. You put it on a bench and shot the center out of a target.

Luke is ahead but not by much and Im planning on going again tomorrow morning! Get the counter warmed up...... laugh

Bean and Luke,

When I lived in Kentucky I hunted with a friend and he taught me a easy way to kill squirrels when you are hunting together. Have one of you go around the opposite side of the tree and set up, have the other guy grab some low limbs about 10 yards from the tree and shake the heck out of them. The squirrel will go around to the set up side of the tree and either head down or hide, easy shot. Works every time we did it. h.h.

Bad thing is if you don't have a box of subs on hand you most likely wont be able to find/buy them any where. frown I haven't seen any special purpose .22 on the shelves in a long time! h.h.
