FINALLY....they came out....

[JungleShooter]

Yep, but then my veggies aren't growing right so who the heck knows. Most of the squirrels I've been shooting are young and there are a lot of them. The permission is too far for me to go over often to lay out bait for them. I need my faithful retriever Pete, I also need to be able to see my turrets, it's getting harder, a company MK Maching, makes a magnifying glass for them, that 's next on my purchase list. I also need more stickers, I've mislaid 2 of my sheets. I suppose I could get a DNT but I like my Arkens.

I was just going to respond to your earlier post about not seeing your turret numbers —
and mow you found exactly what I was going to recommend you.

MK Machining is top notch — they use the good glass for the magnifiers (unlike others).
They have them in different scope tube sizes, even 35mm and 36mm.

On certain holidays/seasons they run up to 30% discounts.

After postponing the inevitable for too long, I finally ordered a bunch of the magnifiers. They work well!

Hmmmm, don't see any teats on that second picture one. Maybe just powered down some chow.
Keep up the good work!
I'm up to 135 in 4 weeks at about 3 hours per week on one small 2-acre lot, that's surrounded be many acres. They just keep coming in!

"don't see any teats on that second picture one" remember this is California.

Another fruitful trip, perfect day, a smidge warm but a very very light breeze, they little critters, mostly young and dumb, popped out at various times and locations. Pete my faithful retriever was with me spotting and giving me ranges, I pretended to know what I was doing. Net result was 8 confirmed (photos) 4 thwacks back into their burrows to become their mates next meal. Pete actually saw one crawling back in but he didn't have my Tequila pistol with him to dispatch it so, I'm claiming 12 today, ranges from 30 yards to 120 yards using my JSAR Raptor .25 and AEA 30.2(?)gr slugs @ 965fps so at 120 yards they are getting smacked with 40 ft lbs.

The last critter with the chain link shadow was 100 yard through a chain link fence, its siblings are going to be next on the agenda. Shooting through the fence is interesting, because the part I have to go though is 40 yards or so before the squirrels. I get a focus on the chain link, which of course throws off my parallax then I hope it works and I don't move.

I've got this nice bench they provide in the shade, TYVM.

A pic of some of the holes close up they just go into.

A view of where I'm shooting from, the arena area, far side are some burrows then out and around for more of the darn things. the green fenced in area that is hard is a BIG HELL NO area, not shooting anywhere near it. Water storage tank.

A scenic shot of the horses in the next pasture area, that HAS TO BE LOADED with the darn critters.

Other gorgeous day in the Workers Paradise, very slight breeze, moderate to cool temps and rodents. 5 confirmed 3 hit and the typical were in the heck did they go?

2 at 30 yards the rest at 100+ and for the addied challenge 1 through a chain link fence.

Took my FX Maverick .25 VP/600 out, using AEA 30.2gr slugs at 930ish FPS and a Arken scope. Some off of the big table a few balancing on a trash can. Glad I don't shake too much. All in all not a bad day.

Ok, another nice day in the Workers Paradise, and more rodents gone. Strangely they weren't all out at the same time, extremely sporadic. Net results were a whole bunch of slugs sent out and 8 connected. For a change I got my drone out, let's just say that finding the bodies with it are a challenge, even with my faithful retriever Pete standing over them. We made it easier for the Turkey Vultures, they have a regular smorgasbord, 6 of the 8.

First a nice arial shot of the main area. Then the Smorgasbord, Next up an arial shot of one at 100 yards through a chain link fence, and last contestant 25 yards, almost unfair. Ok there was another 25 yard contestant, it's in the Smorgasbord shot. Notice the bottom right had a gut problem, that was at 100 yards with AEA 30.2's out of my Raptor. One had no obvious wounds, just a bit of blood out of its mouth, strange. A view back through the two fences. And a view looking back at my nice shaded bench. All in all not a bad day.

Glad I got it out of the way, it was warm be we had a nice breeze that helped, we quit at 12, 4 hrs was enough. Us old folks tend to get tuckered out.
