Well I had the day off so I decided to head up to the local mountains to see what sort of squirrel activity there was. I showed up on site about 11am and the squirrels were just everywhere! Squirrel count for the day was 12 confirmed with 3 that got into their bunkers before I could double tap them. Most of the squirrels were taken with my new Mac 1 2240 with the red dot I'm starting to really like this gun. A few of the other kills were taken with the 850. The highlight of the day was I spotted a squirrel about 35 yards out with just the head exposed. I chose the 850 for that mission took aim on the squirrels head and took the shot. Missed! the shot landed about 2 inches to the left and the squirrel stood still. I took aim again and put the mil dot crosshairs on the squirrels eye and fired and he dropped like a rock! All in all it was a great day in the local mountains and relaxing thinning the squirrel herd. Pic #7 is the head shot pic with the 850.

Their crafty lil buggers. They fun to hunt. You have to use stealth mode to get close enough to hit them with air guns.

Very nice shooting. Great way to spend a day.
