I thank God everyday for my loving wife and all the fond memories of hunting with my Papa from a child until now.

Please take time to take a kid hunting, it will be a life long memory and blessing for both of you!

Excellent, brings back fond memories of  when I was a boy hunting on my grandparents farm, we would start the mornings busting pheasants and about 10 a.m. we would hit the groves for squirrels and rabbit,  dress them out, soak them in salt water then grandma would fry them up with homemade noodles and taters, just talking about it  making me hungry!!! Enjoy

I need a sling on my squirrel gun too.  I've just been too cheap to go get some studs installed.

We have mostly greys here and if you plan on making a stew you better have 3 or 4.

I spent 4 great years in Michigan.  Never saw a fox squirrel until then.  I was amazed.  They must be twice the size of the grays I was used to.

great photo Matthew, and a BIG squirrel. As other have said, those are much bigger than the gray squirrels we have around here as well (New England). It's almost as big as the squirrel in shaners avatar. The straight stock does looks fine on your .410 buddy, that's a great, and a great looking, squirrel gun. Did your sister ever get one?....<><....:)

I bought a 410 for squirrel hunting. If my nephew would let me use it I might actually shoot one with it. :-\
He's taken quite a few grays and reds with it so apparently it does the trick. :D
