NutterBuster's Family Friendly Nutter-Bustin' Contest

I used to be able to get a limit in my yard once a year... They steer very clear now so I didn't get a shot this weekend. That and I was invited for a goose hunt.

I dig it!

Turkey lounge chair is a good way to get comfy and be able to lean back to treetop gaze. Saddle actually works pretty well too. I've been known to just lay down too in order to give my neck a break.
 
I brought my sitdrag and they worked pretty good. Don't think I'll be carrying a chair but I can certainly lay down, good idea!

Y’all ever used calls? I use to call when I was a kid and hunted an area with big fox squirrels. They would run down the tree barking at a distress call. Grey squirrels run away or hide. Don’t have many or hardly any red fox squirrels here. Calling use to be fun. Miss it.
 
I use 2 quarters to call. Saw it on YouTube tried it and whacked a good lot of them. And...its in dutchman's price range LOL.

I use a call, mostly just to make myself feel more professional. And to make friends think there's really something to it!

There is always a call in my vest. It gets used a good deal during the rut, or if I'm trying to make a squirrel I know is there show his face. Or if I'm in an area that there just HAS to be a squirrel in but I can't hear him. Early season it doesn't get used a lot, because they are quietly shoving their faces all morning and burrying in the afternoon.

It's actually a video that needs to happen: how to properly use a squirrel call. Biggest thing is hit it hard and apply back-pressure so you get a bark and not a squeak.

@redsquirrel, betraying your own? Lol.

What did you get him with? Surprisingly fun, no?
 
I'm a big fan of mouth calls, never have to take your hands off the weapon when a big bull comes charging in.

Although things can get intense out in the woods up here, with wave after wave of tree rats rushing in, and a standard call with some heft to it could very well be your last line of defense.

You jest, but a good, raspy triple reed diaphragm call sounds eerily good if overblown. It's the only think I've found that'll make the bark, the meow, and the whine.

You know:

barkbark bark bark bark bark

Bark ME-OOOOOOWWWW

My new ruger air magnum .22. It wasn't the air rifle I was after but it is way too hard to get the model I want in this state. It's like buying a regular rifle.
It was very fun. I was only out there for a 30 minute walk. There was another one hanging around but I had to leave and couldn't wait him out.
 
I'm curious what model did you want and end up with? Rugar air rifle? I have a Crossman Valiant and I'm planning on taking it back, the trigger is terrible. I'm concerned with what I might have to spend to get something that I like.

Ruger air magnum in .22. $200 but can be had for cheaper online (which I can't do lol). It wasn't my first choice but I really wanted to get out there with one this season. I was really hoping to get a benajmin discovery in .22
 
I was looking at the Hatsan Bullboss the other day and a gamco urban both in .22 and pcp which I like but they can get pricey real quick because you need tanks or pumps.
