Tonight before dinner I glanced out the window looking for unwanted critters, as I have been doing every time I walk by a window.  Tonight I noticed something that just didn't look right.  It was too brown and in a place I don't remember leaving anything.  I went to the bedroom and grabbed my 850.  I dialed down the AO to 20 yards, went downstairs and quietly slid open a basement window looking directly at the garden.  Low and behold, it's a tree squirrel laying on it's tummy looking right at the house eating a strawberry.  I jacked a 14.3g JSB Express into the chamber, dialed the power to 6X and used the window frame as a rest.  With the crosshairs right on it's forehead I let it fly.  WHOP.  It really didn't even move and I thought I'd missed.  After about 5-6 seconds of watching it a stream of blood started to run down the retaining wall.  After about 30 seconds it was a more considerable amount of blood.  The thing didn't even move when it got hit.  The pellet had entered somehere on it's head and exited behind the ear, with the whole back of it's head bloody.  As a side note, this was a male with the HUGEST testicles I'd ever seen on a rodent this size.  I'm also attaching a pic of our 150 square foot strawberry patch that sits right at 20 yards from the window.

I also found a pic of the first one I shot eating strawberries a few weeks ago.
