I talked to Jennifer, at the Crown Cattle Company today, and she asked me to tell everyone that they only allow 1 group of shooters per day. That means if you don’t get your request in soon enough, then another group might book your vacation days before you do… And boy, wouldn’t that suck?

It’s hard for me to realize just how much bigger Prairie Dogs are over the Belding ground squirrels we usually shoot. Check out the size of these dogs while watching this video from PrairieDogHunting.net.
Cindy said the squirrels are up in the area. And I quote:
The squirrels are just starting to venture out. I saw my first one a couple days ago (A big fat one!). I hear they are out pretty good in Hereford and Ironside/Cow Valley which is typical. I’m sure it won’t be long and they will be out here too!
Stock up on .223 and .17 HMR and head for Eastern Oregon people. LOL
See you there…
I went to the Yakima Gun show with the Verminator this weekend, and did pretty well, but it was also kind of weird. I’ve never seen so many guys scrambling to get their hands on primers and gunpowder. After the last show we went to in the Tri-Cities last month, we went over to the Sportsman’s warehouse to look for powder and primers, and their shelves were empty. The same shortage is still taking place, because we saw guys who had primers, selling them for $75 or more per brick, because they could get it, and people still wanted more.
I guess one way to control the part of the population that lives in rural America, and shoots, is to control reloading components and live ammunition. Since they decided to reduce the price of gas, after the economy collapsed, they changed tactics and decided that the next best way to control the rural population would be to take away their ability to defend themselves… or attack; if the Idjits in Washington can’t back off and leave well enough alone…
In the meantime, there doesn’t seem to be a shortage on .17HMR, so I will continue to wage war against sage rats when they start popping up in the spring.

I just got this email from Cindy and Bill at the Unity Motel and Store. If any of you want to get some sure fire, large caliber squirrel shooting in, give them a call and set up your shoot.
We are now setting up reservations for shooting squirrels. Cost will be $100 per day per shooter. Does not include lodging. Motel, RV Parking, Camping available. We’ve had some that want to camp and some that want separate rooms etc, so we decided to just go a flat rate for shooting. 50% deposit required at time of Reservation. Youth under 17 are $75 per day Mentored youth under 13 are Free. All Oregon Hunting Regulations apply. Must have OR Resident hunting License ($22.50) or Non-Resident License ($76.50) age 14 or older. Under 17 years must also carry a Hunter Education Card. These are just a couple highlighted requirements to be aware of.
We have areas suitable for large caliber shooting as well as the small caliber. Even archery if they want. Contact Cindy or Bill to make reservations or if they have any questions.
Thanks, Unity Motel, Unity Country Store and Bill and Cindy. 541-446-3431 (home) 541-446-3636 Store/Motel
This is a great bow hunting squirrel video. The first half is close calls, and the second half is a whole bunch of dead squirrels.
This is just too funny. Hey Squirrel, quit chewing on that wire….
We are getting a ton of requests from people who want to know where to go shoot squirrels this spring. Other than your local city park, which the cops tend to frown on, go to the Varmint Hunting Forums section of our squirrel shooting forum. There are shooting places listed there.
ps. Does anyone know where the heck I put the big box of reloading dies I was going to take to the gunshow this weekend? Man I’m getting old…

City folks in NYC, who normally dress as well as they eat, are forgoing lavish dinner parties and instead, settling for a type of dinner one might find in a West Virginian mobile home. With the stock market in shreds, banks closing and a government in serious doubt and debt, city dwellers have turned to eating a native cousin of the city rat; tree squirrels.
Carrie Bradshaw, Samantha Jones, Charlotte York and Miranda Hobbes were recently spotted in Central Park kneeled down with dress shoes on, behind an evergreen shrub, with crossman sling shots in hand. No, they were not waiting for Mr. Big to walk by for a sudden ambush attack. The four gorgeous girls were waiting to ambush a wandering squirrel unaware of the uncertain motives these four girls had.
Squirrels are no longer safe in the metro-hip districts of New York City. Dinner parties once featuring NY Strips and Filet Mignons are now being replaced by more affordable meat; one that requires a slingshot or high-powered pellet gun to catch, a pocketknife to skin and a few classic squirrel recipes found at www.woodybobs.com/squirrelrecipes.html.
At a recent dinner party charity event for the Association of Melvin Brooks Cancer Research, squirrel fillet, with sides of fruits and fresh vegetables, were carried atop sterling silver trays and served by white suited, bow tied, waiters. The buffet featured a popular WoodyBobs.com squirrel recipe – “Fried Squirrel and Gravy.” The girls in their swanky dresses and the guys dressed as neatly as James Bond, devoured squirrel meat and drank Night Train with the gusto of an Arkansayer.
Meanwhile, Back in West Virginia, Norma was cooking the family’s nightly dinner ‘Sunday Chicken’, which was once cooked by her great grandmother during the Great Depression in 1929. Sunday chicken was a mere joke during the depression, it was cooked every day, or at least any time a squirrel wandered into the yard or a nearby tree…

This guy is a pro squirrel skinner. I’ve seen squirrels skinned before, but never as slick as this guy does it.
(Not that it matters, really. This site is mostly for westerners, who shoot squirrels and let the lower life forms eat the remains, not southerners, who eat the f***’n hairy rats themselves. EEEEEEwwwwweeeee!)
