Targets of opportunity

.45 Colt may be a little more than necessary for squirrels.    But it was fun.

Dave that gun is a beauty and that is a big fat squirrel. I'm glad to hear that you had fun :usa-flag-89:

Started that day deer hunting.  Since I'd already tagged my buck with a rifle, I thought I'd add a little challenge and bring this Uberti.  Didn't see anything in the morning.  I didn't want to go home, and I didn't want to freeze on stand anymore, so I decided to creep around a bit.  Didn't jump a deer, but the squirrels pretty much attacked me.  It was self defense!

My friend whose farm I hunt on calls deer "corneaters" since they're money out of his pocket.  It's not uncommon to see a squirrel out on a limb there with a whole ear of field corn either.  So I was helping a friend  as well.
