Whew... WHATADAY!!!

Saw 3 squirrels!! Took 2 shots - bagged 2!!

I told my son - 'There he is... right there! Shoot!@!'
He raises his .22 - 'Where?? Where?? I don't see him.'
'Right there. In the tree on the right. Near the top. See where my gun is pointed?'
'Geesh Dad. You sure there's one there? I don't see him.'
**KA-BLAMO** goes the 12gauge. 'Right there.'
'Oooohhhhh that tree.' says my son as the squirrel does a swan dive from the top of the tree.

And WOW!!! Those little male squirely's have got some HUGE DADGUM EQUIPMENT!! My first thought was - 'Geee.. that's a funny place to store acorns.'


On a side note... was talking with a few hunters last night in the camping area... there were all friendly and stuff until they found out I was very new to hunting. <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

In the USMC - they taught us how to put 10 outa 10 rounds in an area the size of a man's chest at 500M. They just didn't follow up those classes with instructions on how to gut them. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> If I can see it - I can hit it... If I can hit it - I can kill it.... If I can kill it - Then WTF do I do?? hehe...


What did I learn today??
<ul>[*]Skinned, gutted, and cleaned both of our kills. And the hints on here made it a WHOLE lot easier... Thanx guys. [*]GPS's are wonderful inventions.[*]The shortest path through the woods is not always the easiest.[*]Two boxes of shotfun shells in your pocket is overkill for squirrel.... and heavy...[*]Orange is not my most flattering color.[*]Motocross folks are generally CRAZY!!![*]Saw my first 8pt buck in the wild.[*]Saw my first deer rub and bedding area.[/list]
Hope everyone had as much fun as we did!!
