: Planning a Hunt
: longislandhunter August 08, 2007, 03:05:17 PM
Looked out into my backyard this afternoon and couldn't believe my eyes,,,,,, 5 tree rats hanging all over my bird feeders.  Haven't seen that many squirrels in my yard for quite some time, don't know where they came from.  

The squirrels and I have been enjoying a truce of late but as of today the truce is over.  Time to introduce them to my Flying Dragon QB78-D's and thin the herd a bit     :)

Will post pics of the hunt   :)

Hey Jeff,



This is the time of year that the Momma tree rat chases there firstlittle ones out to find there own territory ! Or the little ones will grow bigger and take there territory ! So there out lookin for food, and a place to call there own.



I have a good one for you Jeff, I saw a tree rat out in my feeder this A.M., and went for my Goldfinger, so she could have her first kill. Well I went out the back door, cocking my baby, loaded a .20 cpl and went into a kneeling position for her firs kill. I started to squeeze the trigger, very gently, and squeeze and squeeze. I think you know the rest, I took the rifle from my shoulder, wondering just what could be wrong, I forgot about that darn automatic safety !



That Squirrel is still on my fence, laughing at me....:-( NEXT TIME SQUEEKY !
