Enough is enough!  These guys have been stealing our tomatoes and cucumbers.  Then I saw one in the flower patch, put the sneak on him and BANG the new Gamo got its’ first kill.  Went back in looked out the window and another in the flower bed.  Was going to put on another stalk but decided I would try my long range skills, about thirty yards.  BANG, Gamo accounts for kill number two, two shots two dead ground squirrels. 


When they come for mine they better bring theirs

Mighty fine shooting, John P.  They appear to be about the size of our grey squirrels.

Boy those things are LIGHT colored :confused:
Nice shooting! I wanna know more about the Gamo. I picked one up last year I think, and cant get it to kill squat. Actually I ended up giving it to my daughter last time she was down here.

The one I'm shooting is the Hunter Sport.  Fluted polmer jacked steel barrel, 1100fps, .177, love it.  The two squirrel that I killed died on the spot, no running at all.  And yes they are light colored, summer coat.

Al I think your grey tree suirrels may be a bit larger then these.  Next time I kill one I'll measure it and let ya know. 

HaMeR, I called PETA and told them that there is a guy out here killing all these cute little creatures and then he is feeding them to the turkey vultures.  I'm sure I'll have a filming crew out here in the next few days.

I thought about doing just that - then it dawned on me.  I'd have to change it several times a day.  three shots, three kills, four shots, four kill and on and on. It would never stop :innocentwhistle:

That is a terrible problem to have.

Maybe consider:

5 SHOTS

I have that same Gamo Hunter. It will put a cottontail down with authority at 40 + yards. I did have to try a few different brand and style of pellets before I found some that it liked, but it was worth it.
sometimes I wonder....is that getting closer..... then it hits me

I had a personal conflict the other day, now I'm not speaking to myself.... I'm getting lonesome

I met the girl of my dreams, I was the man of her dreams too.....she used the term "nightmares" though.
