Sguirrel hunt

[Satchel]

Had the chance to take the Umarex G 2 in .25 to the woods this morning. After a little test session yesterday, the H & N Barracuda Hunter Extreme pe;;ets were most accurate. Let me tell you.. This is a squirrel machine. I was reaching 25-30 yds on my longest shot.. Enter behind right shoulder, upper part of ribcage. Exit left side of skull above eye socket, with evident hydrostatic shock to surrounding tissue. Squirrel fell out of the tree GRD/DRT. Most satisfying...

Glad you had success. I really like it when they drop right after the impact.

As long as I've been hunting squirrels here in Indiana, (since 1970), our opener has been
Aug 15.. Ohio has always been a little behind us.. lol..

I've killed a lot of female squirrel still nursing young in early September so I don't mind waiting until a little later in the year.

Out season in SC doesn't start until October 1. Trees will still have their leaves then. It's easier to see the in December and January.

I consider them pests at my place in SD, they like to chew wires under the vehicles. Season opens Sept 1 though

Yes I don’t like doing that either. It always makes me feel bad after killing a female and you discover she’s still nursing babies. I prefer to wait til later in the fall also.

That is interesting. I expect there is a bureaucratic element involved. In NC, the season is mid-October through February, except in my back yard, where it's year round and no limit. My neighbor recently spent $600 in car computer wiring that the squirrels found tasty. A new car, but not in the warranty coverage, he's pissed. Another neighbor had some house wiring similarly chewed. I am becoming my neighbors' hero, they're getting interested in air guns. I guess I need to moderate their interest before they go off ill-prepared and do some damage.

Missouri starts in May till the following Feburary and it is usually so hot that it's no fun going in the woods.

Makes you wish the little bastids would "complete the circuit" and finish the job...
