Rancher that leases my property invited me to come out to another place that he leases, said there were tons of ground squirrels. He wasn't kidding, I got 48 with a 10-22, then switched to my 17AI Hornet and got 54 more. It is a single shot, I was having to pause to let the barrel cool down. I still had 14 rounds of 17 left when a pin worked loose on the trigger. About that time it had clouded up and the wind was picking up anyway. So many ground squirrels, that there would be 2 or 3 in the scope at any one time. Best shooting I've had in years, and I only shot around 1

The squirrels are either Richardson or Columbian. We have the 13 stripped here in the Midwest. They are much smaller.
