Well today I went out with the 222 again. It was a little slow at first but then the squirrel activity picked up and I got shots at 5 and got four. The funniest thing today was one that was around 125 yds digging in a grassy spot at the bottom of an oak tree. I put the cross hairs in the eye area and when the shot went off I seen the dirt fly right over his head and he jumped straight in the air about a foot off the ground and I seen him trying to run and he hadn't even hit the ground yet. I laughed as ran across the wood lot back to a den tree. I thought about waiting for him a while but I decided he won today but maybe I will win tomorrow.


My friend called this evening and told me to come get half of the squirrel gravy he made from all the ones I gave him from last weeks hunts. He said he never made gravy with so many squirrels in it. He said there was 17 in the container I gave him. I just had to bring it home and have the wife heat some up. I was in the bathroom and she hollered to me "Wait until you taste this." We both had some for supper over toast as we didn't have biscuits here and didn't want to go to get any. I don't care for biscuits any way but she likes them. The pan was so full we will have to freeze quite a bit for later.
Life is good and so is the weather. Hit 81* today.
