Well, with deer season ready to start, I decided to try and good one more good day in of squirrel in with the boy.
I took out my Browning Auto-5 Sweet 16 in case we ran into a grouse, which has a better chance to anchor the birds if I run into one. Never saw a grouse, but we did get another grey squirrel, called him in and dropped him from about 30 yards out or so when he got onto the lower branch of an old dead pine. The Browning does good with #6 shells, but I think I am going to ramp up to #7 1/2's even though it patterned well with it. I like the advantage of having a few more pellets in the mix. Still, another squirrel for the stew later on. A good start to hunting season with a pair of greys in the freezer, hopefully deer season turns out as well, then I can get back to the tree rats before the snow gets too deep.
