Squirrel

After an unsuccessful hunt for deer yesterday morning I took a walk with my .50 Hawken and was able to pop a black squirrel through the head. Considering that I was using only 40 gr of RS Pyrodex I was amazed at the damage (i.e. heads was gone). My attempt at "barking" a squirrel was unsuccessful, even though I did hit the branch. Several shots at other squirrels emphasized that I really need to practice!

A .32 Green Mountain barrel and a peep sight are on my wish list for next year.
