I was able to slip into the woods on this beautiful morning and make my first squirrel hunt for 2018. The trees are still full of leaves, so it makes it a challenge to knock them down with a .22 but the Ruger was up to the task today. It started out slow, but got better as the morning progressed. Ended up knocking 7 out of the trees and found 5. I was very disappointed that I could not find the last two. I shot them, heard the bullet hit, then watched them fall and just could not find them. I’m shooting some sub sonic Remington hollow points and they were plenty accurate. Plus they gave me an opportunity to take some second shots as the squirrels did not seem to be scared by the sound of the shot. All but one of the squirrels were shot above the shoulder in the head area. The first one I shot in the chest between the two front legs as he was facing me. It didn’t do much damage so I was good with that.
