Well I guess i have the stupidist nutters on the planet.. I'm outside now playing with the pistol and here comes the partner..
She stands there on the limb closest to the ground and nut in mouth stares me down and flags her tail provocativly at me and dares me to do it..
SO WITHOUT HESITATION. I put a predator in the Whisper and dared her to taunt me 1 more time..
Here she stands looking strait at me and nut in mouth just askin for it..
So I gave her what she wanted all along...
I DROVE THAT NUT DOWN HER THROAT. You should have seen the shrapnell. lol. nuts went every which direction and most in her.
good whisper.. Randall

Looks like you and that Gamo are staying quite busy. Good shooting, you are a killer. I'll have to only look at the photos as squirrel season hasn't started in the Rocky Mts. yet. fb

Dude... you're an animal! Nice shootin'! You never know... maybe she preferred "crushed" nuts. We'll never know.

Dang, you knocked its teeth out! Good pic :)
So it must have been pretty close I take it..
The dumbest nutter I 've ever had was when I was target shooting with my 350 .22 the day after I got it. I was outside with my table and rest shooting away and zeroing the scope. About 30-40 pellets later, this squirrel walks right up to me from my side and stops no more than 6ft away from my chair looking at me. I turned around and pointed the 350 at it from the waste. He stands up and checks it out for a few secs. I look around for neighbors since I was close to the driveway so I could shoot beyond 30yds towards the back, but then I thought "naahh.." hehe. He then hops a few feet away and digs up my lawn a little looking for food. He hung around within 15-20ft for 1-2min. I never intended to shoot it, I just laughed, but the thought was there for a moment :) I don't think I could have shot it that close if I wanted to. But probably just pointing the gun in its general direction without looking through a blur in the scope, would have done the job :-) I didn't feel it was challenging enough I guess.
I 've let a few of them go that walked into my line of fire when I 'm practicing or when they just walk up and are too close. I need to feel some challenge, like I 've worked for it a little :) It was especially tough during the spring & summer (out of season). It seemed every time I was aiming at a Starling or Grackle, a squirrel would be a few feet away or walk right in front of my sights. I also did it because I wanted their numbers to bounce back and reproduce after the hurt I put in their population last season.
