To be a squirrel or a chipmunk in my yard today. Have been working the last 3 and it looks like the rodents were getting comfortable in my yard. All this was inside of 30 minutes or so...

That's a lot of critters in 30 minutes. Like one critter every 4 minutes...
can anyone beat that rate?
What kind of airgun is this in the photo?

Didn’t even have time to drink my coffee. Could have been 40 mins, but not more than that for sure. The gun is a Taipan Veteran Shorty in .22

Don't shoot them all. My groundhog hunting area is less fun now. Wish I had been happy with the experience and not the numbers. Now it's a great experience. Have fun, Scott

Well, been here 6 years. It’s what got me into airguns. I call it The Black Hole. Others keep coming & just keep filling the void.

@intenseaty22 Well, a shot every 5 minutes, sounds pretty slow to me 
So I see the Taipan is earning its keep. Did you use the Hades for the kills?

@blackpaw Yes, .22 Hades, have the gun sighted in for them always. Slow for sure, will try to do better next time.
@bob_o Thanks, just got lucky today. I usually see one to four, and get one or two. Sometimes though....

I saw one yesterday but with the kids running around no shooting, it got away! First one in 4 months and no shot. Sigh....

You must have a HUGE freezer!

Sounds like a fun time. When I saw the title this was definitely not what I was expecting. Unfortunately for me, I haven't seen many squirrels left in my yard.

Heckuva haul, good job! That's much less worry about destructive pests for you ... for now.
I like the looks of your Taipan vet shorty, too.

So, sitting here drinking coffee now, it’s the morning after, and I am watching at least 2 to three squirrels running around in the yard. These will probably get a pass today.
Chipmunks get lead on sight, no questions asked.
@odoyle & @greenarrow For me this is mostly pesting, so, while I have 3 freezers, and will eat them, not all go into the pot.

Indeed some Fine fine shooting right there !!
Now as to the line above in BOLD font ..... Yes & by a LOT !!
Out west here in around Oregon, Nevada & California borders we have Alfalfa fields with BELDING ground squirrels. 300-500 a day ( @ 10-11 hours in the field ) are common place in the spring months. That equates to 30-50 per hour
Different game than yard pesting ...
