Yes there was hunting today, but not much. Today's blog is more for me to keep track of things. I just got off a stretch of working 16 of the last 18 days and have 3 days off in a row.

I finally got a chance to make sure the .17 was sighted in (it was) so I took it with me. Only had a chance at one squirrel but it was a rushed shot and I missed. This was only the second time to hunt this area and I got a better idea of where the squirrels were hanging out for the next time. Had some chores to do so only stayed out 2 hours. What I did find though was...
