Rock squirrel

[Madhatter]

I've got a rock squirrel that showed up around my house. I figured I'd just grab my Sheridan and pop it when ever I got a shot. Dang thing leaked down before I could get a shot. Brought the Dan in and grabbed my impact. Did a bunch of trapezing around to the west of my fenced yard. I'd spot it and try to get lined up but it always scampered off before I could get a good shot. I don't really want to kill it but I don't want my house or vehicles damaged either I have 40 aecers of property so lots of wildlife.

I’m envious, 40 acres would be a lot of fun.

It's also a heck of a lot of work. I'm completely off grid but don't believe the BS on homestead rescue. There's no one going to help. It's all on you but I do love it.

I had the same issues but with chipmunks in my sheds. I sat with my field target setup in a spot with clear shooting lanes. I sat for about an hour and took 6 with my Marauder Gen3. Shot them from 17-25 yards.

Yip just had a chipmunk set up camp here last week, kids/wife have seen it multiple times so far. Minimal chance I'll get a shot off on it, may just set out a trap for it, well see tomorrow....I always have one of my airguns at the ready on Saturdays for pests!
The damage they can do is real and my shop is all torn apart currently so he could very well be living in there

I have a 20×20 shed way back on my property. I lure the chippies out with corn and give them lead poisoning. Took this one with my MaCavity .30cal, 92 yards from my benchrest. Between all of the guns I've owned since I started my PCP journey, I have taken down many dozens of them.
