Had a chance the other day to sneak out in the woods for a few hours. It was a cool windless day and the squirrels were active. I took my 17 HMR that my son bought me and it shoots great. However I did learn that head shots are a must. Got a limit faster than it took me to clean them for sure. I will have to tell you that Fried Squirrel. mashed potatoes biscuits and squirrel gravy is hard to beat. Can wait to go again. I am so lucky to live in a area loaded with game and a great lake to fish. I truthfully could sit on my front porch kill a deer shoot a turkey limit out on squirrels just about any day. I can tell you how many times we have walked out the front door and had a deer about run you down.

Starting to get the want of some fried squirrel. Need to go out and hunt some of those tasty morsels. I wish it would cool down a little..

Went for a few hours yesterday morning and got several.. My father in law is like dead eye and got a limit and only missed 2 shots. DEAD EYE He told me he had not zeroed in his rifle yet and didn't expect to hit much... Yea right ! 85 years old and a crack shot. This man loves the outdoors for sure. He already has cut split and stacked about 15 cords of wood so it has time to season.. He told his doctor that after about four hours of cutting wood he is starting to wear down. Imagine that at his age. Only to be so lucky!
