2 squirrels and a flock of grackles!
« on: April 07, 2010, 11:09:28 AM »
SO here I am wife at work I have 2 squirrels in the back yard hopping around and have had up to 5 grackles on the ground at one time. BUT! My wife let my kids have friends over so I have about 7 little kids running around outside! they scare them off then they come back and here come the kids again! Its killing me. lol Targets galore and I cant shoot a stinking thing. I think the squirrel just flipped me off! they are taunting me because they know I wont shoot. This is madness.  :emoticon:

Just kick back with a couple old milwaukee lights and smile, knowing that there will be another day when you, the squirrels and grackels will meet and they won't have the kids to protect them.

Just makes it all the better for next time when it's just you and the critters !

In the meantime, just try to enjoy watching the critters as you think about windage and elevation.  :D

After not being able to shoot I went outside and helped shoot zombies and aliens. My totals were 6 and 2, my son blew me away with a 1000 confirmed kills! My stick, i mean sniper rifle just couldent compare to his zookie(bazooka). lol Ill let him have that win and will work on pics of my kills. He has about 15 guns and yet every stick he see is a different kind of gun. why do I spend money on toys. Enjoy the monkeys when they still think your cool, it wont last forever.

LOl, it figures, when the critters are most active you cant shoot, but when they leave you wont see anything in sight lol. keep at it, you'll get one
if at first you dont succeed, re-load, kill count 2010.
