There's been lots of ground squirrel activity towards the back of my property this year for some reason. Shot #4 and #5 this morning with the Ghost, roughly 75 and 85 yards. Both of them were solid body shots, the tell-tale kawhump sound, and then rolling around and twitching. Not surprisingly for ground squirrels, neither were anchored. Tough, tough dudes.
Eventually made it back there to look and found this one, bout 15 feet from where I shot him. I believe this was the 75 yarder, which was a quartering away, boiler-room shot.
Couple hours later popped a male house sparrow just a few yards past the 50 yard steel paddles.
Missed another ground squirrel @ 135ish yards. They just never stay still long enough, and I shot where he was, not where he was going.
Running the 18.9grain NSA slugs @ 915 on all of the above.
This combo is a bad mammer jammer as a pesting tool. And I use "tool" in a positive light here. A saw cuts. Hammer nails. Shovel digs. Ghost .20 eliminates pests.
