Tomorrow is the last day to deer hunt and I should have been out doing that, but chose to hang around the house and target shoot. Haven't done much squirrel hunting this past year, I need to do it more. Usually I sit out the last hour of daylight and can usually expect to get one, maybe two on a good day.
I walked the dog out to the mail box and we have a good stand of mature osage trees in that corner of the property. I heard one barking up a storm and saw him at a distance, so I put the dog back in and took my old Winchester 72A out and stood behind a big hackberry tree and waited. About 45 minutes later, I had four big fox squirrels on the ground. Guess I need to get out earlier in the day. Saw a couple of others I didn't get shots at all in a fairly small area. I usually like small centerfires and cast for such tasks, just starting to work with a Savage 23D in .25-20, maybe I can get it out this weekend on the public land where I hunt deer, been seeing a lot of them out there.
