Thread: Almost time

Redge, how do you cook your squirrel?

So where do you guys find .22 ammo? We got a guy that camps out at our walmart when they have .22 ammo to put out and he and his friend buy it up to resale. Walmart really needs to limit boxes over 300rds to one box per person till this shortage is over. It makes a man have bad thoughts when there are 4 people in line stating they're looking for .22 ammo and 4 1000rd boxes of ammo and the first guy buys 3 boxes and according to the cashier does it every time they get .22 ammo. OK rant over and back on topic. Nice looking breakfast Redge.

Thanks Dino! Dbrown fried squirrel, biscuts and gravy, strawberry jelly! Heart healthy of course, fried in bacon grease. LOL.

Supper for me. You did much better than me, Redge. I was rained out yesterday for the opener but did get out for a couple of hours this afternoon early. Saw five in that time but couldn't get the head shot but on two. One actually jumped the string and I got him in the neck. I hadn't shot the T-bolt since Winter but it worked. It's getting much more difficult as I get older since I can't hear them now. Luckily I can still see them and the scope works great. I'll only get out one or two more times in the Summer cause I don't like the Tiggers and Chicks. Even on a good day I rarely take my limit because I don't freeze them. My second wife doesn't like them so I go whenever I want some fried up. The two young fox squirrels were more than enough for me, tho'. My first wife and her mother liked them so I hunted more then.

Dave, add a cast iron skillet to Redges menu.

Dino, I quit looking at Wal-Mart. I've built up a stash from Academy, Dick's, BPS and moms & pops. BPS keeps what they have behind the counter - you have to ask for them. But, the stash is all odds and ends. My serious squirrel ammo is Eley Sub-sonic and I get it at Midway USA. Pricey but well worth it.

I still don't understand why there is still such a shortage of 22 ammo. But, its the same everywhere. I'm fortunate to have a son with a sourse and we are able to keep a couple of bricks in my safe. His daughters shoot up so much it's getting harder!
Remember when 223 was the same way? We reload it so wasn't so much of a problem. But, can't reload 22 so what's a guy to do?
No, lets go fishin!!!!

Pretty well stocked up on .22LR. What I'm short of is my fav round. When I DO hunt them I use my my old single HR .410 my dad bought me for my 6th birthday. It's a nostalgic thing I guess. But don't buy very many boxes because of the price

My squirrel trip was interesting. Got out there at 2 pm, it was 83 and humid. I found some nice big trees and sat down it the shade. I looked down at my pants and they were COVERED in ticks moving in for lunch. I got up and left. Now mind you, I know about Oklahoma, I had sprayed my cloths heavily in deet before I left the truck. I will have to go very early next time.

I agree, I hate the ticks!
