Uncle Mike Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/09/21 Posts: 275 Loc: Wisconsin	Hi Wayne, I used to get about 35-40 squirrels a year. I lost my white walnuts 2 years ago so I only see 10-15 a year now. I still have Chestnut trees so I'm expecting them soon. I use an air rifle with a scope as I'm close to the road. Air rifles are a challenge as you need a head shot or a fall out of a tall tree to kill cleanly. It does sharpen the rifle skills. I was going to try a muzzle loader but I wanted a traditional squirrel rifle in a flintlock. After being jerked around by Dixie Gunworks I gave up. Good luck, Mike _________________________ “The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.” Benjamin Franklin Mike C RKCC No. 825

coachblalock Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/03/16 Posts: 1872 Loc: Lake Fork, East Texas	Wayne: Like I said earlier, I have plenty of squirrels right now but it’s still a little warm to walk through the woods. It got to 99 today. I’ve got several Bois ‘d Arc trees around close and the squirrels have been tearing into the horse apples. I use the exact same gun you do. Model 24 .22lr/.410 over & under. It belonged to my Grandfather. Coach Edited by coachblalock (09/19/22 06:08 PM) _________________________ "Filet that fish? Hell naw!

Wayne Dengler Knife Enthusiast Registered: 08/01/17 Posts: 1636 Loc: Earth	Mike, Are you anywhere near The Beast of Bray Road is in Elk Horn,Wisconsin? Better watch out for it while squirrel hunting!!!!! Coach, It is amazing that those old single shot configurations just keep on going through generations of hunters. Simple as can be and rock solid. I have seen some that I swear have ridden in the truck beds of pick ups and they still work no matter how banged up they may be. Wayne _________________________ Top Dog

coachblalock Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/03/16 Posts: 1872 Loc: Lake Fork, East Texas	Wayne: I remember this model 24 riding in my grandfather’s 1949 Ford pickup 60 years ago right next to the gear shift stick. It never got scratched up. It is still in good shape. Coach _________________________ "Filet that fish? Hell naw!

I make a stew with the fox squirrels. _________________________ "Filet that fish? Hell naw!
