srspower Posted February 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 He got away unfortunately, to be fair he was a good 40 - 50 yards away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udderlyoffroad Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Ok, so having watched this video can I just clarify the cartridge choice? 36g of no4? That’s…huge but the argument is that you are trying to penetrate squirrel drey, which appears to be pretty good at decelerating shot? Not particularly cheap either, but I guess you’re unlikely to chew through too many, depending on the size of your permissions. I ask because on my permission I appear to have several large squirrely apartment complexes high up in the trees, say at 20m or greater. Is it worth a trip to the local RFD to pick up a box of these heavy hitters to attempt to nail the tree-rats before they start breeding? I could post someone else nearby with something lighter and cheaper, ready to nail any bolters? Tree cover that high up isn’t too dense. Does that sound like it would make sense?

B725 Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 I use 36g BB through full choke into the drey and 32g 6s in the other barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royboy Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) I like to use lofting poles to poke the drey then shoot the squirrel as it runs around the tree, sometimes owls will use a old drey to nest in 👍 Edited February 23, 2019 by Royboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
