This video is a compilation of my Break Barrel ground squirrel hunts from this past year in Northern California. Hope you guys enjoy the up close action.
Great video and nice shooting! Been a while since I've seen such a target rich spot, looks like the blind is a big help.
Good work!

Really enjoyed watching your video on this cold rainy day on the east coast. They say money does not grow on trees but it looks like ground squirrels grow under trees. Bill

Thanks for the feedback guys I really appreciate it and I'm glad you guys like the video. I tried to make it shorter but I had so many kills on video it was hard to edit any more out.
That's funny you say that Mike cause I originally thought the same thing that I would clean them up but these ground squirrels are like rats. You can only hope to knock the numbers back and even then the next year it seems like there's more again than the year before. I also have several farms to go to where the opportunities never run out due to the invasion. Also there are so many nut orchards going in all over up here and the growers hate the ground squirrels because of the damage and loss. Most are using poison pretty aggressively but even then they can't control them. Oh and yeah the Nitro Piston basically uses a Gas filled Piston instead of the Coiled Metal Spring and for hunting has benefits of being able to leave cocked longer with no Spring fatigue, quieter, less recoil, and more powerful sometimes. I like them for AirGun Turkey Hunting because I tend to cock the gun when I get into the blind and may leave it cocked for 4 or 5 hours while I'm waiting.
With this video I wanted to show everyone how efficient the Break Barrels are and that you don't need a long distance PCP and a scuba tank to have good success on these things. As long as you can hide in either a blind or behind something you can get close range shot opportunities and make the most of your Break Barrel.

That looks like a blast! Most of us don't have the privilege of such a target rich environment. How many did you get? I should have counted.

An absolute beatdown on the ground squirrels - and some fantastic shooting! Headshots galore - nice work - enjoyed watching. Only wish I was there to partake because it looked like a fantastic hunt.
