Oregon Ground Squirrels

Just back from a couple days in the Enterprise/Joseph area. The grass was a little tall, but it made a hunt out of it.
Beautiful country!
My buddy Tom and I did most of our shooting with a Cooper 22 Hornet and Ruger 77/22 Mag, but I had one great morning with my old 62A.

That looks like fun. I got a few shots in this weekend off my back porch. Little rodents sure do love a new garden coming in. My neighbor had a couple guys working his field this weekend so maybe there will be less of them. GOOD SHOOTIN'

Looks great! That little bugger on the top photo looks like a cannibal. Was any of that going on?

There was one instance of a pair of them sitting nearly side by side. I hit the one on the right with my hornet, leaving little recognizable as a squirrel. Almost immediately his buddy was over him doing something? ?? Looked like maybe dining going on to me.
That is, until I had a good bead on him.

Last year I shot one and then one ran up and started eating him. I shot him and within seconds another came up and started humping him, so I shot him. Weird little snappers.

If I can think of a rodent term for the letter H then I could rework C.H.U.D. and resurrect an old acronym

Great fun...I spent a day with my uncle many moons ago shooting squirrels around enterprise. I have spent many of days and hundreds of .22 shells shooting them in the okanagan when I was a youngster...sure improves the shooting skills.
