Havent shot my Super Shrew (Five-0) since May so figured Id start shooting it to get it ready as my back up bow.
Took her for a scouting/squirreling mission. I knew things were gonna be interesting when I stepped out of the truck and had 2 jakes and 2 magnum longbeards under the landowners bird feeder at 25 yards. A week to go before theyre fair game or Ida been plucking instead of typing now. At 10:15 I was in a blind that I missed 4 shots at squirrels from last week. Heard a noise and turned slowly to see a big doe and last years fawn strolling down a trail across the creek, that if in season would have been chip shots.
After they moseyed off I was feeling pretty good about this suburban honey hole and moved of to an oak stand that is one of the only ones dropping acorns this year. From here I saw one big gray run off and while watching him this big male came bounding past me until he got to about 10 feet. A 145 grain Ace Hex on a Carbon Express Terminator to the eye stopped him right there. Hes a cool looking squirrel, a big male but look at his belly markings. Almost fox squirrel like. Well it was a good morning and Im psyched about this honey hole less than a mile from home.
