Turkeygirl Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Despite being tired and slightly bummed/shocked about Steve Irwin's death, I went out this afternoon with the .22 after some grays. Andy and I sighted in the .22 yesterday after I cleaned it; the scope was a bit off, but Andy thinks a bolt-action would be more accurate than our sem-automatic .22. Anyway there was a bit of a breeze that makes it hard to hear nuts falling, but finally after like 1.5 hours, I found a huge puffball mushroom which is edible so I took that, then I heard acorns falling in a nearby tree and low and behold I got my 2nd contest entry on the 2nd shot at about 10 yards (was excited on the first shot,lol) and this is probably one of the nicest grays I've ever gotten! I have the tail drying to I can save it. Anyway photos are below. Tail measured 12" and that isn't even really to the longest possible hair. I'll let Tominator be the judge, but I haven't gotten a squirrel this nice in a long long time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Re: Oh yeah, score!!! MrBuckshot - I like to skin mine and freeze them, and we'll either cut the meat off and deep fry it (yum) or mom will stuff them and cook them in the over, or when I'm camping out, I pull one out of the freezer then by the campfire I rub butter on it and put some salt and pepper on and cook it over the campfire. There are lots of ways to cook a squirrel:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted September 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Re: Oh yeah, score!!! I think you may have but will have to wait for a ruling for Tominator,lol. I think they tails need to be measured as I did. I could be wrong but that is how we did it last year. Ok, your next squirrels, don't cut the tails off,lol:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
