Squirrel Hunting

[gunseller]

Never used my 30-30 to squirrel hunt but have used a 30-06 with cast and a lot of 223 with a 60 gr cast. Even shot a few with a 45 Colt using a cast out of an 1884 mold. Never much meat damage. Cool to be using things from your Dad.

I've been enjoying the late Winter squirrel hunting. Got home early enough to sit about an hour before the sun went down. My wife gave me this little 20 gauge for Christmas a while back because I wanted it and I hadn't done anything with it, so I found some old shells I've had forever and went out. This guy showed up after about 45 minutes and I re-learned what I learned when I was about 14; a 7/8 ounce of #6 shot is a pretty darn good small game getter. It's been years since I killed one with a scattergun, but I used a little H&R all through my teenage years when I didn't use a .22, kinda good to get back to one.

I look forward to squirrel season in the fall here in Michigan...hunt with a 22 rimfire mostly. I cook the meat off the bones and make a "white chili" with it...more of a soup than chili, but very tasty.
