Havent shot my Super Shrew (Five-0) since May so figured Id start shooting it to get it ready as my back up bow.
Took her for a scouting/squirreling mission. I knew things were gonna be interesting when I stepped out of the truck and had 2 jakes and 2 magnum longbeards under the landowners bird feeder at 25 yards. A week to go before theyre fair game or Ida been plucking instead of typing now. At 10:15 I was in a blind that I missed 4 shots at squirrels from last week. Heard a noise and turned slowly to see a big doe and last years fawn strolling down a trail across the creek, that if in season would have been chip shots.

After they moseyed off I was feeling pretty good about this suburban honey hole and moved of to an oak stand that is one of the only ones dropping acorns this year. From here I saw one big gray run off and while watching him this big male came bounding past me until he got to about 10 feet. A 145 grain Ace Hex on a Carbon Express Terminator to the eye stopped him right there. Hes a cool looking squirrel, a big male but look at his belly markings. Almost fox squirrel like. Well it was a good morning and Im psyched about this honey hole less than a mile from home.
It sounds like it will be a good season with early venison, if things hold up for you.
Good luck Izzy.
Sweet shooting!
Now that is some shooting there. The belly markings are very neat indeed, almost looks like a skunk marking.
Nice Shooting !!! :thumbsup:

I have a friend who is a great rifle hunter.
Whenever people ask him where is the best place to shoot deer (meaning his best hunting areas) he replies anywhere in the eye son ;)
Looks like you have that part down pat! Great shooting!

Good shot. Make a knife sheath out of it.
Manny, it has multiple meanings including the same as yours. I'll let Izzy explain this weekend.
Im not 50 yet Charlie. 9 1/2 years to go. The bow got its name because of the draw weight, the koa from Hawaii (Get It?) and the hood name for my profession.
Great! Lots of amazing explantion for 50 :)

9 1/2 years to go.......... :scared: Your a pup!!
My Bad Izzy, you know its hard to tell with you guys sometimes.
