Squirrel Season

Deer hunters are out of the woods so it's time to get after some squirrels and wouldn't you know it...Skeeter is laid up with an in heat bitch across the road. Only one thing on his mind right now. I picked him up on my way out yesterday and he slept in the truck all afternoon he was so wore out.

Finally saw a Topps Tracker knife at the surplus store in Hinesville Thursday. I had no idea it was that big. $275 is a little high though.

Shot the new Mossberg 835 Ulti-mag the other day. I really don't know why I bought a Mossberg other than it was advertised as a turkey gun and it looked cool. Plus it was cheap. The factory choke is crap. I got 9 pellets of Federal Premium #6 in the neck and head at ten yards; most of the shot pattern went high and to the left. JJ then shot at ten with his XXX full Comp-n-Choke equipped Remington 1187 and destroyed the entire turkey head, not to mention blowing a massive hole through the board.
I am a Remington man all the way, you can ask anybody if you don't believe me, and I'm tempted to just keep using my 870 with the same Comp-n-Choke but I may have to break down and spend the $55 for another Comp-n-Choke for the Mossberg. Sgt. Chip tells me he's heard the same about the Mossberg factory chokes from numerous people which makes me wonder why Mossberg would market a "turkey gun" with such a piss poor choke.
Anyway, only two more months til turkey season.....
