Re: Some levergun squirrels
Thats a Great picture Flint! Great Rifle. I'm not seeing many Fox Squirrels here anymore. There have been many reports of Fishers making a comeback in Ohio and sure enough my Neighbor saw one crossing our road last summer. I had to look them up on youtube and they are death on Squirrels.
