Hello from Mississippi, USA

Gotta say the squirrel display is something I have not seen.
Good luck with your plans to hunt in Africa.
Those little deer in the UK are certainly a draw.

Welcome to AH.
 
Good afternoon Shawn O’Steen,

I have noticed that people who do a lot of squirrel hunting with .22 rifles, (and/or air rifles) tend to virtually always be slapbang dead shots, with larger caliber rifles as well.


You're absolutely right about the benefits of squirrel hunting with the .22. A couple of decades ago I really wanted to improve my long distance accuracy, because I moved to a new property that offered frequent shots in the 300-400 yard range, and sometimes some odd angles, so I decided to shoot more with my .22 (it's a lot cheaper that shooting a lot with a high powered rifle), and to squirrel hunt a lot with it. My accuracy improved dramatically directly as a result of that.

We are very excited to come to Salzburg for the first time.
Should you at all have any interest in hunting with me and want to discuss different options please do not hesitate to contact me and we can set something up.

A two minute video I made of our recent Safari. I think it turned out well

Just received your book. It will be a Christmas present from my wife. Looking forward to read it.
