Wasn’t combining beans today so thought I would scare some squirrels out of the pecans. 2 greys and a red. All first year and they ain’t gonna get no older. Missed 5 more. Eyes are going south on me.

Wt how many do you think you would kill if you sit out there a whole day. When I was younger we would sit in the hickory trees all day shoot let lay sit back down for another to come around. We killed quite a few doing that pick them all up at the end of the day

You could probably kill a sackful of them beedy eyed vermin if you did it like that. I just drove my truck out in the orchard and shot them out the window. Don’t seem to scare them and they just keep coming. Gonna need to get my eyes checked. Missed too many easy shots.

Ya if you want the nuts better get that checked out or call in the calvary.

How long until you harvest?

nice

Nice Rifle

It’s that homosexual thumb hole stock.
Why weren’t you at the convention in Chillicothe?

Probably start harvest in 3-4 weeks Drifter. Clay I spent Thursday and Friday running to KC to hospital and lawyers office. Son in law fell 20 foot while at work. Broke his back and shattered a knee. 2 major surgeries so far and work comp is trying to deny and dismiss his case and not pay around 1.75 million in medical bills. Been a little stressed lately and is probably why I missed some easy shots. The homo stalk just gives the squirrels a fighting chance. Believe me I would have much rather been at convention than deal with this accident and it ain’t over yet.

Hope the son in law has a speedy recovery and the lawyers see the light in his favor. Hope ya get a record crop on the nuts as well. Trade that in for a Thompson contender with a 14" barrel.

How many trees ya got?

I always let the woods settle down after a shot, and take that time to clean/peal the Squirrel. Hang them on a stick and swish in the air to cool the meat quick, makes for better meat.

Lol
Got them covered

2 grays and a fox squirrels.

what is the gun you were using

Shooting a Savage.17 caliber with a bull barrel in stainless. Nothing special, just a sweet flat shooter with absolutely no recoil. You can watch them die through the scope or in my case where you missed him. Fun little gun to squirrel or small varmit hunt with. A couple years ago I was killing them pretty consistently out to 150 yards.
Have around 400 trees total that I planted Lufkin.

I’ve got a Marlin 17 HB. Some of those .17s are lasers! Mines picky with ammo. With the more expensive Federals she tightens right up, but the other brands are certainly acceptable.
