Geez, head shootin' squerrils! I've got a lot of work ahead of me to get my game up to that level. Nice shootin', and thanks for the motivation!   :thumbsup:

man you are on!!!
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Thanks all, I'm not letting the jabs get to me at all... these are the bows I have and shoot because they shoot for me.  If I was shooting a 40#'er I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be posting any critter pics!  My release isn't good enough to get off the string with a bow that light.  My hat goes off to those of you that can!  

I've worked on it a lot but all I figure out by shooting lighter bows is I can't shoot them consistently.  But, the good thing is the lighter bow work does help out my release with the heavier bows...  Hopefully I can figure out the release with lighter bows before I have to due to age.  Heading out sometime tomorrow with one of my MOAB's to see if there is another "Barker" that will make a mistake and give me a shot at him...

Went out again today, took my 60" MOAB, 62#, shooting 31" Gold Tip 55/75 with 175 grain Magnus 1 on the end.  And where there are Males, there will be Females...  Missed her with the first shot at about 12 yards and got a second shot on her off the side of a tree while she peeked around it trying to find me, maybe 19 yards.  You can see the damage...

Great shooting again!  Keep it up and OK might have to suspend the season...  or not.

Went out today before it rained, took this one with my 56" Kwyk Styk, 62# @ 30", shooting a 31" Gold Tip with a 200 grain Snuffer.  14 yards right through the left shoulder and out the right lung.

 
 

Yea Terry, I'm missing that trip already...

Took my 60# Morrison Shawnee today, shooting 31" Gold Tip with 175 grain Magnus 1 on the end.  This was about an 8 yard shot, caught him at the back of the lungs on the right side angling forward and pretty much took out everything on the left side.  (This is the cleanest side you are seeing here...).




I've only got one more bow in the rack that I haven't used to take a Squirrel this year... Guess what I'll be carrying the next time I head out...  ;)
