The new 25 mini carbine takes first blood, Penny was so proud.

Been on conference calls and teams calls all day. No time for a walk. We finally got a break 20 minutes ago.

We’re walking through the woods, and Penny looks up and starts running which is her signal that she’s found a squirrel. She trees it. I could see where the squirrels hole was in the 🌲, it was trying to get to. So I stood on that side of the tree.

I caught a glimpse of tail, so I backed up until I could see more. Candidly, I had no shot at the vitals. So I knocked him out of the tree by shooting him in the rear. Penny was on him when he hit the ground. End of story.

The 25 knocked him right out of the tree. I 17 would have done nothing but made him hug the tree closer.

I was very impressed, and at 5 pounds dripping wet it is a pleasure to carry.

Great story and adventure with your pup, your Falcon, the snow and the grey shot in the rear. With the grey taking a shot in the butt was the .25, the head was soon dead! OUCH Great pictures and I love that smerk as well on Penny's face!
