With Tn Squirrel season coming to a close this week, I thought I should take a walk.
I went up the ridge behind my house late this afternoon.
I picked out a spot too sit on a stump just over the crest of the ridge
overlooking an old hollow den tree.
The squirrels had been scurring around along the hillside in the sunshine
for quite some time, once I settled in it wasn’t long till one appeared.
I eased the 16 gauge too my shoulder , slowly rolling the cock back....
Boom! A clean miss Pilgrim! At 20 yards too....
I forgot not to aim at what I’m shooting at with this gun,
I’ve gotta’ work on that..
But when I do my part , she’ll do hers.
The next 2 nutcrackers that came within 25 yards
weren’t so lucky.
Thanks to Skychief for the loading advice.
My version goes like this 65grns Goex ffg , 1 Nitro Card, 2 ozs of # 6 shot, 1 thin overshot card then a wet fiber wad on top .
I’m using Hornadys One Shot, But Olive Oil works just as well.
