Take them down. Nice work. Those lil buggers always fool me in the deer woods.

The element of surprise can never be replaced by persistence.

Great shot Dave; congratulations!
Re: First ever trad harvest
Thanks everyone. Really good to see the fruit of practice paying off. I have to say that thanks to the information/encouragement on this site my shooting has become 100 percent more consistent. Loving the trad life

Re: First ever trad harvest
Dave, I say this in all honesty; a squirrel trad kill is no easy chore. I put it as much more difficult than a deer kill from a stand, and they are zippety-fast too. I can't tell you how many bushytails I've shot at with wheelie gear that were halfway up a tree before the arrow struck where they USED to be. Just because the game is small doesn't mean the accomplishment is.
Aim small, miss small!
