With the CO2 debacle I had yesterday, I figured I'd get back to my TT 'd b26-2. She's been a little under utilized lately with all the new additions. I shot her a bit last night at my range to make sure she was still sighted in and she didn't dissapoint. Today being the last day of my little mini vacation, I figured I take another shot at the strong nutter population. I sat in my shooting window, and within minutes was treated to a very large male nutter making his way across my back fence and towards the garbage. It seems no matter how I seal those things, Ive been using a brick to secure the top into place, they find a way to sneak into the smallest holes. This one jumped on the garbage can and started grooming himself, bad timing. I lined up a shot and let loose with a predator that found its mark right in front of the right eye. Going to retrieve my quarry, I found a clean entry wound and a fairly large exit wound in the middle of the body. The exit wound had a bit of entrails coming out, and lo and behold, the red polymer tip in the middle of the mess. I decided to do a bit of an autopsy, as I still can't bring myself to eat a city tree rat. Country, sure, but these guys make their living scavenging in and around garbage cans. The predator entered in front of the right eye cleanly, and made a clean line throught the right side of the body and sort of changed trajectory after hitting the spine and bounced out of the side of the body creating a large exit wound. Devestating is all I can say. BTW this is the biggest squirrel I've gotten yet.
