The second rut

[Purebred Redneck]

I was reading some things from the Conservation department a week or so ago and they said the second mating season of the year was comming up for the grey squirrel.

summer is always hit and miss for squirrels. Sometimes you see a few, sometimes none. Being only 80 degrees friday, I thought I'd head out again.

First couple of hours I didn't see a thing. Then I relocated to a spot I haven't been to in years. As soon as I get there I see a blackberry patch with berries starting to ripen. All of a sudden hell broke loose and I thought a bear was comming at me ;D ;D ;D Instead 5 male grey squirrels were fighting.

I killed all of them just as fast as I could load my single barrel shotgun

Should have taken only one shot by the sounds of it?

Red, knowing your luck/track record you probably ended up leaving the only Gay Squirrel in the bunch. he'll still have a heck of a time but wont be producing anything but pain in the ---.

Seems to me they should only be taken with a fine crafted muzzeloading squirrel rifle. Then Red you would have mess you could hold up with real pride!!!
