A little preseason scout...

[rabjr]

Shh don't tell anybody, I snuck out for a little while. Since I got my CATV running like a top last week or so, I been itchin to check out whats going on in the back 40. I decided to take along my .36 and see if I couldn't get that first flintlock squirrel with it. Drove to one of my favorite spots and loaded it up, used the powder measure Scobrien made me for it. :thumbsup: I was there about 20 minutes when a nice fat grey came bounding down to me at about 15 yards he became the first kill for this New England style rifle Roy Stroh built me. :thumbsup: Loaded it back up and shot the second one 10 minutes later. I then decided to check on sign at another spot and shot #3. Three for three! I then went and sat at a third stand and chased two greys out as I was driving to the spot. Loaded the gun and sat there for a while before one of the greys came back, that was a mistake on his part... Four for four:thumbsup:

That was fun and real shot in the arm for me. I really needed this little hunt bad and I hope to get to do it again soon! Right now I got one dirty gun and four squirrels to clean....

Welp, four nice squirrels soakin in salt water now. Three males and one female so I guess I didn't hurt the population much. :haha: Been threatening to do this for several years now as I'm generally surrounded by up to a dozen most of the times I go out to sit for deer. Felt good to be able to finally do it. :thumbsup:

Thanks for sharing and your photo is beautiful!

 

[Flintlock58]

brings back memories of squirrel in the crock pot. I think I need a 32 or 36 squirrel rifle! NICE shooting and nice picture of your hunt.

 

[rabjr]

Kinda wish I stayed another 20, 30 minutes or so. I probably would have been able to limit out with 5 greys...but I was gone long enough and was very happy to have gotten these four. :thumbsup:

 

[Swtodd]

I'm impressed, beautiful all the way around.

Outstanding :thumbsup: You made my day readin' that. You simply can't beat squirrel hunting in New England in the fall.

Your rifle is ok too. :rotf:

 

[scobrien]

Good on you Swampy. And as Flintlock58 says, that is a great photo. I am proud to have one of my measures used on a hunt clear across the country from me. I am especially glad you got to spend some time in the woods all the while making crack shots and knocking some game out of their tracks!!!
