« on: September 16, 2008, 01:59:45 PM »
Like Shadow said the rain has been bad.
But finally it has stopped and I was ready, I don't have much of a story its past my bed time but thought I would share a picture of my success of the hunt.
2 hour hunt 3 hours of cleaning, and picking hair's......... A special thanks to leftcoast for a good shootin R9

Congratulations Troy on a successful squirrel hunt. Great pic and a good looking rifle. Guess Jason's 'ol gun wasn't worn out after all. Three hours cleaning and picking hair?? Try skinning them next time instead of plucking them. Lot's faster.LOLJust kidding.

Very nice hunt. Wish it was like that here in CA. Here, everyone flocks to the mountains and you really have to work your butt off just to find a tree squirrel. This past Saturday, small game opener, I spent two days... and only came home with one... so compare to you, you had one fine day.

Thanks guy's it was a fun morning, the one on the bottom still had a big ol hickory nut in his mouth when he hit the ground, this place doesn't get any squirrel hunting pressure but my day's in there are limited because when bow season starts Oct 1st its off limit's for me. Shadow do have much ground to hunt I would be interested in a trip. This one spot I have is about it unless I go to some state ground..............

 I took it as meaning that no matter how hard he tried, no matter how long he scrubbed, he could not wash away the stain of innocent blood from his hands.

 Or maybe he's gonna eat 'em. I would.
