Yesterday evening and again this morning brought back a lot of old memories of squirrel hunting. Time has a way of getting by and when I stopped to think about it, it has been several years since I actually did some squirrel hunting, something I dearly love.
Yesterday evening I only got one squirrel but did see a couple more. It was a nice evening. A head shot dropped it on the spot. I used a reconfigured Ruger 10/22 that I have had for many years. I put a Hogue green stock on it, a new factory take-off barrel and I had the trigger lightened to just slightly over two pounds.
This morning I returned to the same place. Squirrels were everywhere. Seems there are a lot of them this year.
This time I used a Remington 541-S that is a real tack driver. It has accounted for a lot of squirrels over the years.
Three more head shots resulted in more meat in the freezer.
Seems that predators have taken up most of my hunting time for the last several years, but these two squirrel hunts
have renewed my memories of good days. I may even go again soon. It's been a long time since I had squirrel gravy.
