47

[villaman 9,983]

Went to my squirrel permission yesterday with the HW100k .177 , Airmax scope , and using  AA express 7.9gr pellet 

Walked around and counted 47 squirrels in one part of the wood . Parts are so thick with under growth  ,  thick with spindly trees and Rhododendron , very hard to try and get a clear shot 

Well shot six but only retrieved two the others dropped in thick under growth or fell into thick ivy on the trees

Nice going Mitch.

We have just made some new feeders for a new area on one of the perms which with luck will produce some sport this winter.

Some of the best airgun  shooting to had IMO , specially when you have to try and follow them in your sites jumping across trees and branches and waiting for them to stay still until you can get a shot off  .  Haven't shot any of the feeders this autumn or winter so far , they are not taking any of the wheat either

Sounds like it's worth you getting a hushpower shotgun.

least you nailed a few Mitch

got some competition on the squirrel front

although there not my department on this perm... there are loads of traps all over and I didn't see one caught!

seems they only like wheat from under the pheasant feeders,

what I did see was loads of nervous squirrels that weren't hanging about
