This was taken over a two day period where the problem was not solved completely, but certainly addressed… The dead land in the film use to be rows of trees, and the piles of limb and branches in the video are whats left of the trees. The green is the neighboring alfalfa which they are severely threatening…
Here’s a great quote I recently came across. It’s a great reminder that we must fully defend our RIGHT to own and bear arms and reject the arguments of those who claim that guns aren’t safe:
“There are hundreds of millions of gun owners in this country, and not one of them will have an accident today. The only misuse of guns comes in environments where there are drugs, alcohol, bad parents, and undisciplined children. Period.”
It’s time to build up a new rifle to share with my kids (uh, yeah honey, it’s for the kids :>).
I’m waiting for the Savage .17 HMR to go on sale at my local stores or Cabelas. I picked the Savage .17 HMR due to the cost/performance/accuracy and overall value. It’s really hard to beat.
I found the BSA Sweet 17 3-12 x 40 scope on sale at Cabelas online for $49.95 (hurry – there’s still some left). This scope is normally $129 – $149. I know the BSA Sweet 17 isn’t preferred by a few marksmen but I have found it to be very adequate for 100 – 150 yds for varmints.
I’ll keep this rig in my truck when traveling around the back roads in rural Nebraska. There’s plenty of opportunities here, especially in the West.
Oh – gotta put a camera mount on it, too. I wanna share the fun through recording videos (only the hits, of course!).
OK, this is actually a cool piece of RC technology. This is a fully automatic airsoft rifle, with a laser designator, hooked up to be radio controlled. Nothing like sitting on the front porch with a beer, and shooting squirrels, kittens and any girl scouts that happen along. (If you don’t have too many beers, you might be able to refrain from shooting the girl scouts and the kittens…)
Just a quick update on where the Crater Lake Buffalo Company is located. They are located on highway 97 north of Chiloquin about 18 miles. They are adjacent to the Klamath marsh and the Williamson river runs through the ranch. So drive times are about 45 minutes north of Klamath Falls, 2 hours south of Bend and 2 hours from Medford.
Crater Lake Buffalo Company, in Southern Oregon, is offering sage rat shooting this year. For any of you shooters that live in the Willamette Valley, they are a much easier drive than trying to get to Unity or Baker to shoot squirrels. And, if you mention that you saw them on ShootingSquirrels.com, they will give you an additional 15% off the price of your hunt.
Some of the guys in the forums have shot at Crater Lake Buffalo Company, and say the hunting is great. If you want to talk to any of them, the guys in the Tacoma Death Squad, including OblitaRat and RedMister have both been hunting there. And, according to Adrina, from Crater Lake Buffalo Company:
I had some guys shooting yesterday who went through about 3000 rounds each with a 75% kill rate.
Now that’s some fun shooting!
They only have a few spots left for the rest of the sage rat season, which ends around the middle of July, so if you want to go, you need to contact them quickly. Here’s what you need to know:

It’s the first week in June, and that means there are only about 30 days of good squirrel shooting left, unless it stays cool and damp. While you can find pockets of squirrels to shoot, all the way up until the end of July in some places, the good shooting is usually done by the first or second week in July.
So, since I haven’t been out shooting this year, and feel like a fake squirrel shooter, could some of you guys send me some squirrel shooting stories and videos please? Please send them to ss@shootingsquirrels.com. Thanks,
