    They just keep coming.
    21 red squirrels in about the past month.
    Shooting has been fair. (Missed about 4).
    Owls (I assume)? Stop at night and eat the fresh ones.
    Roscoe is happy. I think he'd rather fetch up one then a grouse.

    Just bought an air gun for this reason. Damn squirrel tore the heat shield off my wife’s car to make a home in the chassis.
    They are all over my yard all the time so it’s time for live action plinking.
