2nd Annual Family-Friendly Nutter Bustin' Contest

That's the load I shoot. Nothing better for squirrels. Love toting my citori on pretty days.

My Citoris are for the pretty days too. I’ve got a 16ga Auto 5 for when the rains come, also throwing #5 and a lever action .22 with a peep sight for when the leaves are down. Getting excited for the season just thinking about it.

I have an original production year 16 gauge wingmaster that gets used occasionally, a CZ 452 for days when I feel sporting, a buckmark for when I feel masochistic, and a single shot H&R 20 gauge for when it's time to make meat.
 
Rule #8 any chance you'll share the recipes with the amateur squirrel hunters around here
Squirrel pot pie is the best I've done. But I don't remember the recipe. I think I just took a standard chicken pot pie recipe and threw in some squirrel I cooked in a crock pot.

Our season doesn't start until October 19th. Thanks for reminding me, I gotta pick up some more subs for the tactical squirrel gun...

Who'a ready to put the Alabama Hammer-Slammer on a big, freak-nasty limb-chicken? I know I'm ready for the tiny little bodies to hit the FLOOOORRRRR!

Rules are simple

1. Squirrels killed over bait piles and mineral licks SHALL NOT be counted. However, if it is legal in your state, you can submit kills that were made at night with a spotlight.

2. This is a family friendly event, and we encourage participation from The Little People. A member who takes a kid hunting may shamelessly count said kid's squirrels as his own.

3. We all want to portray hunters in a positive light. Please refrain from "Great White Hunter" poses, and make best efforts to clean up your kill. Photos should capture the majesty and dignity of your quarry. Make sure to tuck the tongue in, wipe any blood/spittle from the mouth, and if necessary plug the nostrils with cotton.

4. While not required, hunting squirrels with the aid of a saddle is encouraged.

5. Same applies for Crocs.

6. Please DO NOT ask when ANY gear from ANY manufacturer will ship to your address. I ain't Santa or the FedEx guy!

7. Trash talking is encouraged, but insults regarding a gentleman's dog or squirrel-killin' pole shall not be tolerated.

8. Any and all recipes alluded to are to be PM'ed to @Nutterbuster immediately upon request. Failure to abide by this rule shall result in contest dismissal.

9. If ya ain't got a sense of humor, go get one before you join in.

10. NutterBuster wins.View attachment 15824
What is a black squirrel killed from saddle while wearing crocs worth?
 
Squirrel season in PA doesn't start till the middle of October. I always use a Thompson/Center single shot rifle in 17HM2. I have never had one get away with it like I have with the 22LR. Shotgun? Too easy at close range and too difficult at long range.
 
Too easy at close range and too difficult at long range.
I find it to be the opposite. Too close and you really have to know your pattern and "feather" them. It takes me a second to figure that out, and sometimes you don't have a second. Far away (30-50 yards), and I can tear their little tails up with a good choke and high brass #5s. Just throw up and shoot. Much easier than trying to get a bullet through the canopy at a moving target with a rifle.
 
You're off to a strong start! I can't start working on them until this Sunday.

But I know a beech tree or two that looks like every squirrel in the county is chowing down on it.
Thanks, but i don't figure I'll squirrel hunt anymore until january or so. Deer season opens in 19 days and I've got a couple good bucks to hunt. Also me and the mrs are expecting kid #2 next Tuesday or so, and closing on a house around the end of the month hopefully. My time is stretched thin!!

You and everyone else just has to wear the squirrels out in my absence.
