Squirrel management
Last Spring (2008) there is this tree in front of my house where there was a family of five squirrels living. I shot them all with my Gamo .177 1000fps break open Varmint hunter rifle. Yesterday I noticed 4 squirrels in front of my house near the same tree, and to my surprise there is a new family in that hole in the tree. I saw 5 of them up in the tree today. Well I was waiting for them to come out and shot two of them suckers one after another. Both feel out of the tree, the first one was screaming and kicking in the leafs and the other one I must of hit in the front right shoulder as it was able to hop off after the fall.
I'll hopefully get the other 4 tomorrow as they come out at noon and again at dusk.
Also in the picture is my new Ka-Bar heavy bowie, this is an awesome knife period! Able to chop branches with it and decapitate a deers head pretty easy after I take them down with my Martin Cheetah Real Tree compound bow 350fps 50-60lb draw.

I have plenty of traps set up throughout my property. I prefer shooting the squirrels to keep up with my marksmanship. I got blunt force tips for my arrows, that are designed for killing squirrels, but it's all about location, location, location with a compound. I cannot stress how many arrows have disappeared and/or broke just from practice. Now I only shoot when it's time to kill. As much as I would love to have used a blunt force tip on a squirrel, just gotta be right place right time.

Also when the deer traffic is slow. It's nice when a bunch of turkey come under the stand!

Rottweiler vs The squirrel
Just shot a squirrel out of a tree over 117' away from my patio with my airgun. Went back into the woods and he fell from the tree and got caught on a pricker bush with his hand. Got a gut shot on him, but was still alive. So I let my Rottweiler finish him off..
This is after the shot when i brought him back to my patio for a photo op.
Then I let out my Rottweiler to finish it off!

I just got another one! After I shot his sorry *** he was hanging from the tree and was able to pull himself up at one point to get away from me. Finally he dropped and I cut his head off with the Ka-Bar. Man what a knife a Ka-Bar is..Cut his head right off like a butter knife going through warm butter.
