I shot a grey yesterday that hung on to the limb about 5 seconds before he fell. This is what it looked like where I picked him up. Eley target loads must be the Rage of .22 ammo.

you wouldn't think a little rat could bleed so much so fast, but when they are shot in the head and hang on upside down for 5 or 10 seconds, the blood rains down. usually on the dogs heads. they seem to really like it, lol.
All I ever see any more are the smaller greys what happened to all the fox squirrels that used to rule the woods.and does anyone see the little reds that used to be out there.im 63 and when I started at 6yrs.old all you would see wer little reds that wernt worth shootin and big fox squirrels.the last q5,20 years all its been hav been greys
@Jamie I believe said that greys reproduce at a higher rate then fox squirrels. Beyond what J said about getting hunted more for meat. Birds of prey have a better chance at catching the slower/bigger fox squirrel.
Welcome!
Been hunting squirrels with a buddies dog last 2 seasons... Fox squirrels are easy targets as they stay put longer for getting shot at vs greys and blacks, which will take off like scalded cats...

Went squirrel hunting today. Took moonshine out for first time today. Seen two squirrels gray and black at 30 yard but no shot. They were just dang quick and most of tree were in the way, lol. It was much needed to be out in the wood.... therapy time. Rain started to come in so had to call it a day. Will go back out tomorrow to same spot where I seen the squirrels at and see what happens.
My favorite time of squirrel season. 0 bugs easy to see....got out for a bit after work. looking forward to the rest of the season.

Struggling this am. Squirrel 1 shot aimed at its head hit it. Started hanging but regained it's wit and got into a hole blood drips all on the leaves. Squirrel 2 shot miss shot drop forgot knife. Calling it 4 now going to test before returning.
Slackers!!!! I’ll be sitting over my corn pile when they start moving today. Gotta thin them out again. Digging up the wife’s flower beds and she don’t like it.
Nothing but birds. Most doves I’ve ever seen at my place. I guess they found my winter mix!
