N/A A short edit in response to the California Ground Squirrel plague

It's even really bad in the southern part of the state. Parks, homes, hillsides. Recently I was brought back to old Crosman stuff and built a pair of benjamin discos for lower power to help a friend out whose pool was undermined once and cracked on a hillside. Now I'm refining discontinued guns just because I can't go shooting 40+fpe in a backyard with vinyl fencing at "plague rats" 14 fpe headshots works fantastic on the buggers.

Taking in the view tends to be my favorite part! Not to mention the peace and tranquility. Welp not until I feel like there’s a buffalo bill watching me through the fieldsSteve it is a tough gig at times, one enters a field hoping and wishing for furry targets ONLY to find yourself alone to take in the view ... so boring it can be

I noticed some of them get dragged back into the burrows maybe to avoid predators? I was trying to drop a squirrel in front of this giant red shouldered hawk but it flew off right before I took the shot!

To date have created a 7 stack of squirrels by dropping one next to a previous shot one feasting on the dead ... ++++ you go stacking others nearly on top of one another ( Well a foot or so spread out ) They are cannibals 100%
