Hooked on Crack? Shooting Wyoming Ground Squirrels.
Wednesday, August 4th, 2010I read an article put out by the Colorado State University Extension Office where they were discussing the damage and control of the Wyoming Ground Squirrel populations. Among the various control methods was, of course, shooting.
Here’s an excerpt from this article:
“Shooting
Small, isolated colonies of Wyoming ground squirrels can be effectively controlled by shooting. Shooting lowers the population by removing individuals and disrupting their life cycle. However, if there are other colonies of ground squirrels nearby, individuals from those populations will migrate into the area where squirrels are being removed. For effective control of problem ground squirrels, a population must be kept under constant shooting pressure.”
Ahh…. music to my ears! Keep them under “constant shooting pressure”. Makes me want to get out and send a few .17 HMR Hornady V-Max bullets down range!
There’s nothing like hearing the crack of the rifle and smelling the burnt gun powder out in the field! I guess if you’re going to be on crack, that’s the crack to be on.
Take a kid hunting – teach them gun safety – get them out in the field. Get ‘em hooked on the crack of rifles and pistols and you won’t find them in trouble on the streets.

Henry puts out a beautiful catalog of their products. In it you’ll read the colorful history of the company and the details of all their rifles and accessories that they sell. Big, two-page spreads with detailed photos of all their rifles – from the original lever actions in all calibers to the Henry Big Boy, Golden Boy series, Frontier series, and all the bolt action series. They even have the U.S. Survival AR-7 .22 LR that is really handy.
But don’t forget about the Henry Varmint Express .17 HMR. One of the hotest, sweetest, smoothest lever action .17 HMR, squirrel-killin’ machines around. I’m just about to order mine.
I urge you to get the catalog. It’s free. And it’s tempting. As a visitor to this website, Henry will gladly send one out to you. Henry sponsors us because they know our readers enjoy hunting, shooting and fine guns.

We Need A Few Good Squirrel Hunters
Thursday, March 4th, 2010I’m running a little experiment on Digg to see if we can pick up some new members in the squirrel hunting forum. While you’re on the site, can you click this link and give shootingsquirrels.com a thumbs up on Digg?

If we all give it a thumbs up, then when new hunters come to read the site, including this post, they might wander over to the forums and give us some new blood….
Henry Rifle’s New Accu-Bolt 17HMR
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010Henry Rifles has a new varmint rifle out, that I can’t wait to try (I already ordered one in 17HMR!). Their new varmint rifle is an all-stainless steel, semi-heavy barrel, single-shot, bolt action rifle chambered in .22 LR, .22 Magnum or the .17 HMR. It comes with a 4x scope with a cantilever scope mount at no extra charge. If you prefer not to use a scope, it’s also outfitted with a set of Williams Fire Sights. Stick all of this on a one piece synthetic stock, and you have the start of a great squirrel gun. Since Henry is known for the smoothest of actions, I can’t wait to try it out in the squirrel fields this spring.
Stay tuned to find out more after I get it, and if you want to see what I’m talking about, go to Henry’s website to read all about their new Accu-Bolt Varmint Rifle.
