Walnut plinking

Post by Ozarkwoodswalker » Tue Oct 15, 2019 6:50 pm

Warming up to go squirrel hunting I been plinking Walnuts out of the trees in my back yard...figured if the little Henry can hit a walnut it can hit a squirrel head. With a rest, (that's how I usually shoot .. against a tree trunk or a sprout). .but, with a rest hit thirteen out of fourteen ....so I think that at least the Henry is up to the challenge....πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ˜€

I have 6 sweet gum trees in my yard. I've got all the targets I want too. It's perfect practice for squirrels.

Well, I do sometimes shoot at avocados, oranges and apples that went bad before they could be eaten. They get thrown off the back deck as far as possible before getting shot at. A rare treat.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

It is, but the urban growth is headed our direction. So just a matter of time before that comes to an end. Anyway, only shoot the avacodos that were neglected and went bad.
