« on: April 14, 2010, 01:17:31 PM »
this little guy was getting in the bird feeders so he had to be my first :)  it was from 30 - 40 ft and i used my winchester 500 xs that shoots under 500 ft/sec . One shot was all it took

Welcome to GTA Jim, nice to have you with us.  The pic didn't come up for me, not sure if it's my pc or the post, but good shooting.  Will be looking forward to your future posts...

Good shooting.

Looks like you may have saved that nutter from suffering with mange.. or moths, or whatever was making those holes it's fur.

I love it when someone puts the time to stalk and get close to their targets, and then proves that even a 500 fps .177 is deadly with a well placed shot... love that little rifle. it has a pistol grip that reminds me of the good ole beeman c1. :)
