ftm 3,357 Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Decided on an early start so arrived at mates as 1st light emerged and spotted a pair of squirrels feeding amongst the pheasants at a feeder on the edge of a wood.i crept up to about 35 yrs and picked one out just as it settled on a tree root crosshairs in place and gentle squeeze on trigger and it just curled up with tail spinning like a helicopter and on closer inspection pellet through head. Happy with that me thinks so off for a mooch and missed an easy woody.Top of this wood is another feeder and squirrel underneath so another slow manouver and resting on side of tree and another one in bag .I drove to another spot and managed 2 more fairly easy shots . And as I was driving back to mates house I spotted one tucked in tight to a tree trunk so I reversed back up to a field gate and crept along the field behind drystone wall to about 30yds and another one appeared climbing up tree in front of original target.DILEMMA! Ooh both shootable but who? Went for closest one and shot to lung area sent it to floor scopes straight back up to other one and it was froze in same position I missed the bugger and it hid on opposite side of tree so I threw a dead branch and it presented itself back in view .it flattened itself against the tree and I dropped it stone dead . Picked both up and back home for 12 noon .mk1 rapid used 10 Quote Link to post
