Great pics of "Skippy's" flying lessons. :lol: Like you guys, I just love this time of year. Spring is my favorite season! I've had to back off of some shooting so I can keep up with reloading, so I will be ready for next week. With 3 varmint rigs on one trip, it takes a little time to catch back up for the next trip. :mrgreen:

I'd imagine spring is the worst time of the year for these critters...

Bumper crop this year from what Ive seen. The little ones are out early too, had a triple on em last week. Wish gas wasn't so expensive or I'd go more often.

My season is probably done I got 3 trips in this year so I am happy I have a .204 with a shot up barrel and prior commitments that will end my season

many thoughts go into your great pictures,
I have killed: Ground Squirrels, Columbia Ground Squirrels, Beldings Ground Squirrels, but I have never killed "Flying squirrels" in open fields like you have!

They must be genetic mutations from an Atomic test back in the 40's?

Good job and great pics.
