AHA.......Here I thought I lost my sharp shooting skills.... the last time I shot at a squirrel I emptied the clip on my .22 rifle and didn't come close to the squirrel... It was laughing at me up in the tree ( I could hear it) and the girls were very disappointed in me.
Could I ever redeem my self? It didn't look good. The squirrels are bombarding us...I think they multiplied over the winter... formed an army and planned their attack in numbers today.....
The girls were going nuts as they were running along the side of the house, stop at the sliding glass door to stick out there tongues at the girls and scurry to my bird feeder.... I wouldn't have believed them either (they have been known to tell stories) but I saw it with my own eyes....
I told them they had to wait till their Dad got up because I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.... Than Tom told me that yesterday he noticed the scope was loose and fixed it... it was dead on!
So I said fine... hope your right........ hate making a fool out of myself....but I needed to renew the faith my girls had in my shooting skills so I said " OKAY!!!! Let's get 'em girls!!!!!!"
So we let the squirrels get comfy in the feeder and than I'd let the girls out... They were suppose to tree the darn things and than I'd shoot them..... Well the first time Maggie was so on it and it made a sharp turn and she lost her balance and slid on her butt with the squirrel under her... How it survived her weight is beyond me.....
But after a few more times they got them up a
Maggie manages to get the squirrel first and won't give it up to me so we have to bring it in the house to show Dad and than she easily gives it to him......
You'd of thought he trained her or something : ) He really didn't...... her actions are all her own. He does take the credit though.....
