Orange grove squeaks (ground squirrels) in socal w Wildcat FX .25.
I thought I put a dent in their numbers last year but nooooooo. Little ones running everywhere now with plenty of adults. I waded in using the fx wildcat .25 cal pellet gun. I can't blast away with the .17 here, homes are kind of close. About 20 acres I can shoot on. God are the young ones dumb...-

King Kong rat
Sweet baby jeebus. I was going through some game cam pics of an old barn that a friend asked me to help sort out the ground squirrels and rats and saw this guy. Hes built like a beachball and 4x as big as the other rats. Need to get me a night scope on order. I found the perfect perch above and...
