Out with Hushpower

[Rimfireboy! 1,463]

Decided to take the hushpower out and have a couple of short sessions. Been to visit some broadleaf woods that I haven’t been to since last autumn. I was limited for time but there were a lot of squirrels in the top canopy of the beech trees. They were difficult to spot though, and the red dot helped to get a bead on them. I saw a good few running along the high branches and disappearing amongst the leaves. I managed to shoot three in the short time I was there. Couldn’t find one of them in the undergrowth though. I’ll be back again soon for another bash at them. Plenty of pigeons about as well.

Nice work pal , they do loads of damage to trees , Beech in particular just stripping the bark and killing off the upper branches. It’s just vandalism they don’t eat the bark . Every one counts
