I love my 350 Mag! I was sitting here at the laptop watching America: Freedom to Fascism when out of the corner of my eye... there he was! Just outside the window and to the right of our big circular thermometer on the pine tree was this nutter. We have 12 pecan trees on our property here and they LOVE our nuts! Jason, my girlfriends son, was sitting on the couch nearby watching Scooby Doo when I very quietly said, "don't move... stay right where you are Jay..." mainly because this nutter was literally at window height on the tee outside. If Jason were to have moved the nutter would've seen him and split!
I grabed a couple JSB Predators(with the red tip) and snuck out the door... he' strategically moved around the tree out of sight leading me to believe he'd already headed up into the taller portions... but no, I heard his claws scampering round the back side so I slowly moved around the tree. Accordingly, the nutter continued moving out of my sight until I was to the other side of the tree. He headed upward and his head as all that was visible between a protruding branch and the trunk.
The first shot blew right through his jaw. My 350 is sighted at 30 yards right now and due to winds the other day is slightly flying to the right. He dangled but kept his bearing. I'd re-loaded and just as I'd got aim on his head he moved in which I got him behind the shoulder.
Perhaps I should've placed the gun a little closer to his body- I tried sizing the picture down to fit the GTA format and it appears to have a good-sized space between them. Thought I'd include a picture of the signature on the stock... I had Bob sign it before shipping it back to me!
Enjoy!
