Went for an afternoon cruise today, probably going on 2 weeks straight that I've either went alone & had Callshot with me. Tonight was fun, seen lots of deer, shot several ground squirrels, got one big old rock chuck & got to try out a new pair of shoes on my 44 Ferminator gun.
This is the one that I just recently mounted an Ultra Dot red dot sight on, this thing really works...unless its bigger than the target, still I really like this thing.
Callshot decided it was his turn to drive, I had him by about 6-1, we stopped for a belly wash (soda) & he bought some sunflower seeds, we've been spitting mine for a month now, I was elated he finally bought some. He poured them in his coffee can & put them under the dash & opened my can! I shouldn't have been surprised.
As soon as we got into a remote area I started whacking squirrels, they flip real nice from that 240 gr HP running around 1250 fps. We spotted one critter & both of us thought it might be a badger, I put the glasses on it & it was a 10-12 lb rock chuck, had a hard time finding him in the red dot, broke the shot & hit a rock, I had held on the wrong spot thinking it was the chuck. He turned just a bit & I could see him better, this time he flipped when the big HP rocked his world.
I guessed it at 66yds, Callshot guessed it at 78 yds, we both stepped it off, I got 98 & he got 99. The old gummer was fatter than either one of us & maybe as ugly as Callshot. Took a few photo's & several scenery shots.
Got 7 ground squirrels, 5 of them fell down in a hole or in the lumber & I don't like sticking my paws down in dark places.
More beautiful, green, remote country.
This old homestead is one of my favorite places to pound squirrels.
The 44 Ferminator with new shoes, very nice English Walnut.
When Callshot eats his seeds its one at a time, a can full is good for about 9 years.
When he eats out of my can, which is almost daily, its good for about a week.
This old chap was rolling fat & almost made it another winter, the Ferminator really punched his ticket.
Is this some beautiful country or what, I've never seen it so green this late in the year, there's water everywhere, lots of ducks & misquiters that carry chainsaws! Saw one coyote as we started home but Callshot was too slow!
Covered about 60 miles.
