Squirrelfest

Helped out a landowner with an over abundance of the hole diggers. For comparison that hiking boot is a size 12, though there were lots of small juveniles too. Got about 25 the first day in about 3.5 hours. Shots from 2 yards to about 70. A capable rifle sure is a joy

So was the two yard squirrel a “mano a mano” encounter… Or do you have a bayonet on that sweet M3…

Bayonet, that’s a good one!

The two-yarder was a young, dumb one who came up to my shooting position. I didn’t use Strelok or even the scope, just by guess & by golly. That one took two shots.

Landowner said he’s tried rimfire but after one shot they all disappear for the day. I love my quiet and accurate rifle!
