Yeah, they do pretty much look like morbidly obese squirrels...

I'm jealous! Looks like a blast.
 We shoot ground squirrels in Yakima with 10/22s, but it's definitely tough to hit consistently beyond 50 yds with bulk ammo, especially with the wind blowing. My cousin brought out a .17 HMR bolt gun a couple years ago, and that thing was SCARY accurate, even at 150 yds. That's next on my list. |

Looks like some good shooting. Skin them up and eat a few!
I've eaten them, and they're great. My criteria is :They don't have any signs of disease? Good to cook and eat. When I was younger, I even skinned a few dozen and tanned the furs. It's a lot of work, and seemed like a more reasonable use of time for a high schooler than it does for a retired-but-still-working-busily old man. I'll be doing some shooting in Montana this weekend and/or next week, depending on the work schedule. I'll try to find the time to take some pics and cook a few. |

Holy crap, that sounds like some serious action!   _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.

Good shooting there, especially with rimfires. Nice looking rifles too. Tough to beat quality time like that with your Dad.
