Oh Yea! This is a great piece of footage. LOL
If you’ve ever wanted to see a squirrel shot out of a canon, this is what it would look like.

I went back up to Enterprise, Oregon on Thursday with Wanna Bee, Verminator’s brother. Or, in other words, one of my other brother-in-laws. He has 3 Ruger 10/22’s, which I personally think is a complete and utter waste of money. But, as he pointed out, even though my Savage AccuTrigger only cost $30.00 more than his 10/22, I pay 10 times more for the ammunition for my 17 hmr than he does for his Ruger 10/22, and he doesn’t have to take 10 shots to my one to keep the kill count equal. So, I guess he may have a point; at least on the cost issue.
But, once you check out this video of me shooting ground squirrels with my Savage AccuTrigger in 17 hmr, you will understand the difference between the pathetic pop of a .22 long rifle, and the explosive power that the .17 delivers to the target. The 17 is, oh, so much more satisfying in every way. I really don’t ever see myself using the 10/22 anymore for any reason. The .17 HMR is so much more accurate, the ballistics on the rifle are so much better and the foot pounds of energy delivered on target are so much higher than a 22 long rifle, that I see myself using the .17 for everything I used to use the .22 for.
Here’s the latest squirrel hunting video, enjoy.

OK, I suck. I tried hitting this Badger at like 40,000 yards with my Bushmaster .223 over the hood of my truck with a 10-15mph side wind, but I couldn’t hit it to save my life. Watch the video, it says it all. I finally had to drive up the valley and whack him with my .17 HMR.
Don’t worry, all you tree huggers, it didn’t kill him, just gave him a headache. You can see the 17 HMR bounce off of his fricken head at 50 yards. After I finally got him in the head, he didn’t come back out of his hole, but he’s probably fine and will only have a hangover in the morning, along with a really cool dueling scar. LOL

Who do you think won the above exchange?
It was extremely windy when I shot this video yesterday, and I didn’t realize until I went to process it that it’s shaky. I’m surprised, since it was on a tripod at the time, but, all is not lost, because the video still shows what a Hornady 17 grain ballistic tip bullet will do to a squirrel at around 100 yards.
I was worried that the 17 hmr ballistics wouldn’t give me the “pop and flop” that the .204, .223 and the 22-250 do, but for it’s price range, bullet weight and speed, it does a “right fine” job of putting sage rats to sleep.

Here is the video that I shot yesterday of the Verminator ridding the world of vermin (hence the name). We were in a little valley about 6 miles from Unity, Oregon. The wind was blowing pretty good, as you can see by the video, but it didn’t seem affect the .204 that the Verminator was shooting. The only shot I saw him miss was at a squirrel around 400 yards away with a 20+ mph cross wind; maybe I should let him be the Squirrel Sniper.
I personally think the video rocks and should be sent to schools for kids to learn the proper disposal method for ground squirrels, but I’m sure someone would take umbridge and I would end up in the local news looking like some kind of wack job… Again. LOL

Here is the video of the sage rat count at the shoot in Unity, Oregon over the weekend. From what I understand, I only accounted for 35 dead rats; not very good at all. But, my 6X18X50mm Bushnell scope combined with my new Savage .17HMR did pretty good considering the conditions we had to work with.
The field that we drew was outside Ironside, Oregon, and there couldn’t have been more than 200 ground squirrels spread out over an area somewhere around 320 to 640 acres. The squirrels had been so shot up that you were lucky if you could get within 100 yards of them. I had 3 shots under 50 yards, with most shots being between 100 and 150 yards. (more…)
Squirrel hunting at it’s finest… well, sort of, if you maybe had some glasses. (more…)
I sent my brother-in-law (Not the Verminator, one of the other ones!) Out to get me some squirrel hunting videos. After using up 2 DVD’s, this is what he came back with. (more…)
I just can’t figure out to get the videos posted. I can’t put them on a mainstream site like youtube, because they will toss me for TOS violations. does anyone know where I can post squirrel hunting and shooting videos?
If you didn’t mean to shoot it, do you still have to eat it? (more…)
