Columbian ground squirrels
Went up in the high country today looking for Columbians. We shot several, me with my .218 Bee and my buddy with his Ruger AR .223. This is the only one we were able to get a picture of. Saw 3 or 4 rock chucks but they weren't holding for a shot. We were at about 6800' elevation. Really beautiful up there, about 68 degrees, no wind and lots of sunshine. Good day.

Re: Columbian ground squirrels
Even if they were not out in force and you could not get on those chucks, the squeeks you did get make it all worth while, plus the fine country you were in.. Thanks for sharing the photo. Bill K

Re: Columbian ground squirrels
Welcome. Those squirrels are nearly the size of prarie dogs. Always fun to shoot a few varmints but it's fun to get out in the big outdoors Whether you shoot anything or not.
