Was able to slip in the woods this morning with the CZ and procure a few squirrels. The can definitely gives you an advantage, especially if you need a second shot. Gotta head to work now, the bees wait on no one.

The absolute most fun I have ever had hunting was slow stalking squirrels with a .22 rifle. Not the least fun, but down there, was when I decided to try hunting squirrels with an AMT 8" .22 pistol and 2x scope. Only did that once, got three, but that was too much sugar for a nickel.
Wish I had the suppressor back then and could use a regular rifle. We used CB caps in the back of the neighborhood for squirrels, and being close enough to suppressed, I know it absolutely does make a difference. Especially when you have a single shot and need to manually reload between shots.

The burning Cypress tree, close or no?
Oculus by Rugged Supressor. The whole setup is a little heavy, but shoots awesome and way better than me. My 10/22 set up with work from CPC is a way better woods gun, but it’s not threaded. I’m working on a new project so hopefully I’ll be squared up for next year.
Don’t know anything about a burning cypress tree. Tell me more!

Here, I hope none of the squirrel's were up this tree?
Well-known Lake Martin cypress tree burns
The tree, which many amateur and professional photographers have captured, was struck by lightning Friday night.

We had one of our largest live oaks hit by lightning about 2 weeks ago at our farm. The tree is way over 100 years old, prolly close to 200. This beauty is on the banks of the old Bayou Goula. This bayou at one time was connected to the Mississippi River. Now it’s basically a road side ditch. Hard to believe that boats travelled up and down this bayou. The Bayou Goula Indians used it also when they inhabited this area. Would love to go back about 150 years to this exact area and just sit for a day and see what passes by.

Dang man the lighting quite possible killed the tree.
How do you like that Ruger American? I’ve been wanting one for a long time as I can share the magazines with my 10/22. I’m always looking for deal so I have not procured one yet, but when I see what my feeble mind thinks is a good deal I’ll grab one. I’m a big Ruger fan and have enjoyed everyone I’ve owned.
My CZ in the pic is the first one I owned and it is a very very accurate rifle. The only thing I would do different is buy one with a regular wood stock, as the weight on this rifle is too heavy to be walking the wood with. I’ve looked at changing the stock out but a factory replacement is not cheap.
That tree has been struck before, by the looks of it. I wouldn't say that it's dead-dead yet, and it will have some more cool scars at the very least. I'm very happy to see Red Squirrels at your hunting spot. They are slowly being driven to extinction by the Grey Squirrel, most noticeably in urban areas.

You do know the Indians in that area were cannibals back then unless you were their friend?We had one of our largest live oaks hit by lightning about 2 weeks ago at our farm.

But then again no one was their friend.

One question, Why is there a Panther tribe if there's no panthers in Louisiana?
- The Niāl, or Panther Band, lived in the areas around the Sabine River of Southeast Texas; they took the panther as their totem.
I bought it on a whim to be honest. I’ve been super happy with my CZ and the old Norinco JW15 (CZ clone) but didn’t have anything threaded. I put a big scope on it and found its favorite load (CCI Standard). It does actually shoot through the same hole at 150 feet and all you hear is the very loud “ping” of the firing pin. Nice accutrigger was a plus. Overall it’s a quality rifle in a cheap stock, (barrel is actually floating) but it’s a .22 after all.
The Norinco got a bob job a couple years back. Lost 4 inches and got threaded and still lobs those 60gr Aguilas with precision due to the faster twist. Another eyeball puncher. Still my favorite squirrel getter but I can never seem to pry it out of Jr’s paws.
