View attachment 582341 Yeah, basically to keep the squirrels hanging around for October and feed the birds a little. Why 50 yards? Well mostly because I can slip out the back door without scaring them off and at 50 you can’t miss from a rest.
I’m next door in Louisiana, crows are smart all over. The first one was on the ground by the feeder, when I shot him the rest flew up in the trees. I had taken my Krait out of the safe from 74 degrees in the house to a humid 84 and, of course, my scope started sweating and fogging up. I was standing behind my wood rack and they couldn’t figure out where I was. I managed to find one amongst all the leaves on the trees and nailed him. At this point I figured it was all over but they just kept calling out so I just waited and wiped the lenses on my scope. I figured out where another one was and shot him, three on the ground. They all flew off but one landed in the top of a dead tree at about 70 yards and I was able to put one in him. It surprised me too that I was able to get four, I’m guessing since my Krait is pretty quiet and they couldn’t figure out where it was coming from, their curiosity got the better of them. Anyway it was a fun 5 minutes.
