Pretty Funny.

I have a not so graphic photo of his close relative. A Richardson's Ground Squirrel

 

I thought about getting a full mount done.

I'm assuming thats what I have at my house.  I have to sort it out between that and the california ground squirrel, but wha a pain in the arse.  I hit one withthe 410 at about 10 feet this weekend.  Way more graphic.

Those little .22 pistols are amazing sidearms at close range. I hit one with the .44 and he evaporated. Loads of fun. How much do you think Michelle would charge for a full mount?

My favorite is a low body shot and when they fly up in the air about 4 feet spinning.

That would be fun with the 30-30 or any of the old winchesters.  Send him up in the air and try to hit him again on the way down.

That's what Joe was using. He was also armed with a nice .22 revolver. He has good eyes and was able to get more than anybody. Gotta have quick reflexes too.

Thats one reason I went withthe 410.  Less worries about stray bullets too, but I could get them on the run.  I wish I was that good with the .22.

Looks like he's got a little "Captain" in him.
