Ground Squirrels with 22 Uragan

These guns with slugs make it pretty easy... only the wind is the tricky part. even with downwind shooting...it’s still a 1-3 mil hold.

Nice shoots !
There is no problem with the magazines and the 21g slugs ? Do they stay in place while loading ?

Mr. Hearkens,
You and your .22 Uragan sure take care of business...but, the Northern Harrier follow-up is awesome. I can't shoot at your distances, too many trees, brush and rocks in the way.
I have a similar Raptor that also competes and or completes my ground squirrel hunting. I named him HENERY, a Sharp Shinned Hawk. I have had him beat me to the shot, he swoops down from his high up perch and nails the squirrel before I can squeeze the trigger. My only concern is if I leave a squirrel for him is that my shot is a pass threw. I have several stumps where I leave gophers and squirrels for whoever is hungry. I got a trail cam a while back and I aim it on the stump at night and have captured a few surprises. Owl, Opossum, Fox, dog and the best was a Mountain Lion enjoying a free meal.
Continued good pesting, stay healthy and safe,

Heartens very nice shooting! Nothing is safe. In first picture is that a black squirrel in the distance? Crow

I always tee up the squirrels so the hawks and ravens don’t miss them. In years of hunting.... I’ve never seen one there the following day .
seeing the amazing raptors is half the fun. Yesterday I saw a bald, 2 or three golden eagles, red tail, ferruginous hawk ( my fav) swainsons, Northern Harriers, prairie falcon and (I think a black hawk) which is rare here. Didn’t get a pic grr!. I’m headed out in a few minutes for some more shooting : )

@hearkens nice job feeding the “baby eagles”, that is MY story and I am sticking to it 
Is that the standard air cylinder you have on your Urugan? It looks a bit long

Those AGT guns are impressive. In my list of guns I am considering the AGT Vulcan 2 is in the list along with the Urugan. I think the main difference is bottle vs no bottle.

I think the Vulcan is every bit as good a gun as a year again I just like the shot count of the Uragan. I have an actually counted but I think I’m getting about 120 shots with my 22 Uragan. My brother and I both own Vulcans and they are extraordinarily accurate in 25 with jsb and NSA 26 and 34 grAin slugs out past 200

@hearkens, thanks for the input. I think the Vulcan 2 and the Urugan are pretty much the same gun minus bottle vs cylinder.
