Took a personal day to get stuff done. That took all of 3 hours, so it proved a good opportunity to go squirrel hunting.

The trees are in full leafy mode, so I tried something new- 20 gauge H&R with a turkey choke and #6 pheasant loads.

It was pretty dark under that canopy. Dark enough that the one squirrel I saw got away scot-free. He was maybe 25 yards and on the ground. The shot went high left and he scampered up a tulip poplar, never to be seen again.

The trip wasn’t a waste, though. Found some really good brushy areas for hunting this Fall.

A day off of work and in the woods has to be good for the soul...

Spending the day off in your happy place is always a good thing.

A day in the woods is better than any day at work

You see any of the family while out there?

Everyone went to Williamsburg for the weekend. Didn't see any family at all. Nice break!

A Navy buddy and I visited Old Williamsburg back in 1985.
A very interesting place!

Animalspooker that pic reminds me of something I saw the other evening. I go out in the evening before dark each evening. I am taking a trail through these woods and then a small river. There is a cement pipe that goes into the hill and water flowing. I look and see the whole family of Racoons. They run slow single file into the cement tube when they hear me
