Well, I just got back from Hotlanta at the NMCA races and we had a blast. This morning, as I am prying open my eyes open with my first cup of coffee and I spied a nut muncher making his way down out of my walnut tree via a branch on the adjacent hackberry tree. I decided to give him a welcome home present in the form of a dirt nap. Notice in the pics he still has the walnut firmly in his jaws as I turned off his fusebox with a RWS Superdome thrown at him with my Gamo Hunter 440.

You know I've seen a couple pics on the forum of nutters with the nut still intact. I tend to see this as the JACKPOT of the nutter slots. Nice pay-out! Makes wish I was at home. My beautiful girlfriend keep telling me about the nutters that have been invading our trees when I'm at work. By the time I get home they're elsewhere. Guess they know better, eh? See van leave(coast is clear), van returns(Daddy's home!).
Good shooting!

Good to have you back Ron, great shot placement and pic hehehe. Some squirrels refuse to release the nut. Ed

Nice blood spatter on the tree. Adds that special touch. I bet that one won't taunt you again. I've been waiting for cooler weather, and to let them fatten up a little more.

Excellent shooting with the 440. Talk about being caught with your hand in the cookie jar.....
ZenMatt.....eaxy fix...teach your woman how to shoot a "BB" gun.

This season has produced a TON of good looking nut munchers in our area. The weather has been cool, lately and I think this has them fattening up and putting on their winter coats early. The cottontails are getting thick, too. MMMMMM..... gonna have me some good eatin' this winter.
