Brilliant mate, what did you use to shoot the squirrels?

 

[Fursty Ferret]

Variety of air rifles, rimfire and Shotgun are used

I can’t claim the credit and neither can the Viszla, my daughters toy miniature colliepoo however

"Oi...., keep off my nuts...."!

And another. At 7 yds, hand to hand combat distance!

A productive morning at one of my feeders



(There is a small brook right next to my feeder; occasionally ones that have been noggined flip themselves into it, hence a few bedraggled looking ones....)

 

[DeerCapow]

Got another 3, had been quiet for a long while

That seems a nice feeder, I made mine out of a water bottle with some nuts. Seen the squirrels doing some acrobatics to get them.
Yours seems much better as the air can go through the nuts and spread the smell to attract them.

Just back from a sit out over a feeder in another location - first time out by this one, but squirrels had clearly found it from the amount of maize debris underneath it (I use whole maize, and the presence of nibbled outers is a good clue you've squirrels hitting the feeder....)

Anyhow...... 2 squirrels on the feeder as I walked in, 1 scarpered, the other made what proved to be the fatal error of freezing on a branch.... and once I was settled in, another showed up..... then another......

I finished on 10

2 this morning. Think I may need to move my feeder to another location or put another feeder up

 

[merlin]

Managed 4 this morning before the heavens opened....

I regularly have them off my bird feeders in the garden. They are never ending. But not surprising as we back onto couple thousand acres of forestry. Trusty FX Mk2 .177 does the job well

A wander earlier today with the wife including coffee in the woods, before rain stopped play.

Had a few more but one has been avoiding me in the garden. Until this evening, havi g a bonfire the terrier marked a tree with said squirrle hiding in the top, girlfriend fetched air rifle, then i shot it. Team effort with the terrior getting the prize, 30 mins of carrying her squirrel

Is that a Baikal?

 

[eldon]

Is that a Baikal?

Yes, Baikal 12 bore and probably the best shotgun out of the x3 I have for me to actually hit something

 

[Smellydog]

Mean while in the woods. A couple of clips from today and a few days ago.

 

[Smellydog]

Took a nice 60yard shot on the way home off hand and recovered the bullet.
The Norma sub sonic shows little sign of the heel expanding to seal the bore.
Despite that they still shoot well from this Sako.
