And so it begins...
« on: September 10, 2008, 11:59:33 am »
Finally got some cool weather down here, so I took a walk in the woods with the dogs. After plenty of missed shots, I brought down one of the many fox squirrels I saw that morning....

Way to go Chad. I've seen you shoot and I doubt you missed very many times.

Yep...love me some squirrel hunting--especially after discovering that the neighbor's two little scruffy dogs are two of the most squirrel treeing hounds you have ever seen. Nothing better than hunting with dogs!

good shot, we have an uncontrollable amount of gray squirells inthe suburbs here, they're trying to pall a bill to kill off 4 dozen, they've become a nusience, but these are used to people- i take it this guy (good sized squirell, by the way!) was taken in the woods, where its way harder t get 'em- good job, i wish i lived more in the country where i could do more of that kind of hunting. -jimmy
