Thread: This guy

This Ahole decided to take up residence at my cabin. Not in the woods but at my cabin. He came at me and the dog twice last night and was here to n the morning and still here at 11:30. I laid down with the 223 from 8ft away and ended it. He was an under my porch. Tree vermin and dwellings don’t mix.

223 77gr OTM at 2700fps. Good riddance.

I like squirrels.

I seriously wish we had them here , but in reality its better that we dont ..... :-(

Not much of a meal left in that one.

They are destructive little buggers. They did up my garden and the wife’s flowers and they’ll eat through the roof or soffit to make home on your home.

Nope. I hunt them with a 22WMR and 32gr Vmax. About the same as what you see here.

well since you already skinned and gutted it

Yeah if we had them here I would want a pet one, I think they are great wee animals.

Was it self defence?

Looks like it. They're obviously vicious little buggers just like the beast of Caerbannog. Holy hand grenade or .223 is the only ecuminacally approved method of dealing with them

You're going full Father Ted on him?

We have got Plovers. Pretty harmless really. But there are all sorts of justification stories for shooting them, when really they are just trying to eke out a living in their adopted country.

I visit South Carolina on occasion and I love watching squirrels.

I also love hunting squirrels.

I also love vaporising spur-winged plovers with my 220 Swift........
