Title: Squirrel hunting: 3 "birds" with one stone
Post by: KyBoarSlayer on May 31, 2011, 08:49:47 AM

Hello all,
I thought I would get in on some of the spring squirrel season this year. Our first outing didnt yield anything, so I kept at it. I was hunting by myself behind the house, and the darndest thing happened. A few squirrels popped out right in front of me about 20 yards, I knew there was more than one, but was very surprised when I shot three squirrels came down out of the tree ! Must have been my lucky day !

I was using 2 3/4 shells, 1/14 oz shot of #6 and a modified choke. That combination has been deadly on the squirrels without excessive meat damage.

Here are some other scenes from our outings:

That is some impressive shooting and will be some good eating. Our season doesn't open until fall. :sad:
