Squirrelhunter91 Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Today, as I was leaving thru my backyard to go fishing, I saw a bunch of squirrels running around and chasing eachother. Well, guess what... there was a sudden change of my plans... I put the pole back and grabbed the pellet gun. At first, I dropped one chipmunk, bang flop. Next as I was ready to head home, I heard another one chirping so I went after him, located him and shot him. I then heard a grey squirrel barking above me. I look up and there he is, barking at me about 20 feet up. He only had his head over the limb because he was looking at me. He then shut up and started eating an acorn. He was sitting on the limb, facing me, still providing me with not much of a shot. I decided to shoot anyway. I shoot and, get this, I shot the darn acorn out of his hands! It exploded while he was eating it, but miraculously, it didn't hit him. I then reloaded and noticed that he was now broadside on the limb. I layed the crosshairs on his head and shot. Then, he fell. Once he got to the ground he was dead so that was the end of the bugger. Turns out that this was a young squirrel, but he should be some good eating considering how young he is. Here are some pics of the gun with the kills. Also, I used Gamo Match pellets in .177 As I have shown before, these headshots are pretty messy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Squirrelbuster Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Re: Got a squirrel and a few chipmunks today... I went deer scouting this evening and I brought the 20ga. along just in case I seen any squirrels. To make a long story short, I found an area I want to hang a stand that funnels the deer, and after that I managed to bag a gray squirrel. So I had a good evening today. I also seen 3 or 4 deer, 2 of which were bucks but one was only a spike and the other was either a spike or a forkhorn. I didn't get much of a look at the last one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhunter91 Posted October 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Re: Got a squirrel and a few chipmunks today... Mick, I am not shooting a Gamo air rifle. I am shooting a Winchester 1000x at 1,000 fps. Probably give or take 50 fps or so depending on pellet weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
