I had the inlaws in town this week so I couldn't do much shooting.

I've decided that I might have ghost squirrels Sunday morning I get up and see that there is a furry tailed rat hanging upside down dead center on the bird feeder. everyone is already downstairs, but nobody is on the deck due to light rain so it was safe to take a shot. I run to my closet and grad the new Crossman .177 air gun. Load one of those varmin pointed pellets into the barrell and slowly crank open the casement from my master bedroom. I rest the gun on the sill and take careful aim. It's lined up and I'm gonna take a shot between the shoulders since it was hanging upside down (hanging from it's back legs). I slow my breathing and take the shot. The air crackles (nobody told me that these air riffles make a little noise ) The squirell does some funky jump and twist, lands on the deck and runs off with a trail of blood spots on the deck. I can't believe this thing isn't dead! I jump in the shower, get dressed and head downstairs feeling pretty good that I got the *******. I knew that he ran out of my sight, but I fully expected him to be dead.

Anyway, I get downstairs and my wife looks pissed. She looks at me and says why in the hell did you shoot a hole in the bird feeder!!!!! I feel like a 12 year old and my response is "no I didn't, look at that blood trail". Wife is now extra pissed as she's not happy about seeing the trail of blood across the deck. My moment of victory of this squirrel is quickly turning sour.

Now I'm out on the deck in the rain - hosing off the damn deck. The squirrel is nowhere to be found and sure enough - there's a hole dead center on the bird feeder. All I can figure is that I must have nicked him, but it just doesn't make sense as he was dead center, my shot was dead center and the hole was dead center!

I'm heading out in the morning to buy Dave a case of beer to finish these bastards off.

squirrel: 1 Foul Hooked: 0...ur down and bird feeder lol

[Dave Sikorski]

bird feeders are nothing but collateral damage. It comes with the territory.

That squirrel is dead in the bushes or trees somewhere. If you had good blood on the deck it means you got him in the body cavity. That means blood was pumpin and he just curled up somewhere. He's in the big white oak in the sky by now.

Congrats on your first kill.

These are no prarie dogs in CO. It's tree rats MD style. You'll be in the game until they start to notice windows opening and little holes poked in the screen for "tactical positioning".

Good luck and keep the beer cold. I'll be down when you need me.
