Title: P&Y Ground Squirrel (Chipmunk) ;-)
Post by: Bowhunter4life on June 07, 2009, 03:06:00 PM

I took two smaller ones the day before, but held out for a wall hanger and got him!  

Missed him once at 12 yards charging me, and took him in the head at 18 yards when he was re-grouping for his next charge.  

64# @ 29" Morrison Shawnee, Gold Tips.   :D

Should be moved to dangerous game forum.  I was after one yesterday,but the bugger went in a culvert. No way I was going in after him....they lay in wait on their back trail.

I assume you used a heavy arrow and two blade head with such a low draw weight.
You are a lucky man,it could have gotten ugly.
Good shootin'

WHOA!!  I'm glad everything turned out OK, Could have gotten real ugly I once had a friend who didn't shoot straight, I don't know if he'll ever be the same. He still walks around and flinches when ever anything little flies by, garbage, leaves etc.  :jumper:  Joe

Very happy for you, just think what could have happened if he would have gotten ahold of you! It makes me shudder. I jumped one once and missed him on the run{ ok so he was standing still} but I was scared. Yeah thats it!!  :bigsmyl:

That's why I always have someone else with me who's "pack'n".  He's a wall-hanger for sure!

Looks like you got him just in time! That could've ended badly!
