RE: Bad Day
Wednesday the 5th, i went over to my inlaw's house. . . while there, me and my father-in-law were outside making faces at my 7month old boy (his 7month birthday). . . and we started watching 6 squirrels playing in a tree. . .
i handed him the boy and went to the truck and got the Rossi 22/410 youth gun and proceeded to shoot squirrels. . . shot the first one. . . . shot the second. . . . the second got up (using the 22 barrel) shot him again. . . he got up. . . gave up on the second squirrel and shot at the rest of 'em. . . didn't hit any of 'em. . .
so we took the boy inside. . . dad in law got his ruger 10/22 and i put the 410 barrel on the Rossi
2 hours later we had a squirrel in the top of a tree (40 yds up)
2 more hours, 70 shots with the 22 and half a dozen with the 410, that squirrel made it back down the tree and into his hole. . .
after we cried. . . . we thought maybe something was wrong with the guns so we target shot at pepsi cans (the pepsi logo is a good target at 40 yds) and we did excellent ! !
just another day in the life of a starving lead flinger. . . .
(before going back inside, my father-in-law shouted (at the tree with all the squirrels) you basturds! next time i'll use the da** 12 gauge and see how ya run then !!! da** tree rats. . . .
this comes from a man that can clean a woods of squirrel in a few hours by himself with that ruger 10/22
