An afternoon shooting Grey Squirrels


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys, went out this afternoon to a local shoot about
7 miles from my home, todays airgun of choice my
Daystate Huntsman in .20 cal ,i just love shooting this airgun
the shoot is on the site of a large mansion house,
where i have been shooting on for 20 + years so i know every inch
of its 3 acres of gardens, paddocks x2 and copses of trees,
the main problem being tree rats , i must have shot over the years100.s
of the grey rats, anyway i arrived at about 1pm and made my way to one of my two feeders,
now i have good natural cover with laurel bushes covering the feeder 20yds to my front
,i settled down on my camping stool with primos trigger sticks, the feeders are topped
up by the land owner, now there are two large dreys in near by trees ,
so should be some customers soon a 30 min wait saw my 1st diner arrive
he was shown to to his table and some nice peanuts the tree rat settled and was enjoying his lunch
when a.20 pellet smacked him right through the side of its head , he fell out of his chair stone dead.!!
another wait for things to settle down, saw a jay feeding now i do not shoot them as very few around
this area , any way another 15 mins saw guest no-2 arrive and duly despatched for bad table manners
shot this time right between its eyes it did a great back flip off the feeder,
x3 more arrived and evicted over the next 90 mins, packed up had a coffee with the owners
on their very nice patio , i have known this family for nearly 30 yrs they are like old friends
a good natter , the tree rats are put on the rubbish heap site , foxes/ badgers will ensure
they are gone overnight, a great session and x5 more tree rats gone .!!

Aww that's not very nice Shooter, photos always help with a post buddy.

           I remember when the lads did`nt believe me when I said I`d seen some Unicorns so I photographed them to shut `em up.

           Photographed off Primos sticks at a lased 30 yds.
