Well opening day is here. I went out and was in the woods at 6 am. It started to rain at 7 15 am, so i came out one short of a limit. The new .17 cal is just awesome. I was walking into the woods and hadn't gone 50 feet and heard one cutting,watched the hickory tree, and saw him, one shot one squirrel. I moved over to pick him up and saw another one. Got him too. Hadn't been in the woods 5 minutes and 2 squirrels. I walked over to my favorite hickory tree and on the way i heard a deer snort about 10 times.I saw a doe with twin fawns sneaking out of the woods.I finally got to the hickory tree and watched for about 15 minutes and saw the third one,got her too,left her lay and watched the tree and saw 4th one and got her.I saw several more but too far to shoot at. Then it started to rain,so I picked up my 4 squirrels and went to the truck,didn't want to get my new rifle wet lol      RON

Looks like you had a quick efficient day in the woods with a nice dinner to follow!  That .17 sure does a number on the squirrels.  I asked about it last year and most of the responses I got were that it was too much gun for squirrels.  Maybe I should just get one anyway.  Good job!

My answer is, its all in shot placement, as you can see in my pics. Hit them anywhere but the head youve lost meat.     Ron

Hey bobberstop how do you clean your squirrels? everytime i clean mine i always get a lot of hair on the meat then it is hard to clean off. i have heard if you soak them in a bucket of water its not as bad but i dont know. I'll post some of my bushy tail pictures on here latter.

Skin em dry and gut them. Take them over to your hose with nozzle on it and blast em with water walla no hair lol     Ron
