on my way to my stand this afternoon, i walked through a group of pecan trees near the house of the people who let me hunt their land. saw seveal squirrels and got off some close shots. i did manage to hit one using my new g5 small game point. the hooked part actually grabbed the squirrel and pulled it off the limb it was sitting on. success was fleeting as the owners 85 pound pit bull decided squirrel was what's for dinner. easy come, easy go.

That's what the broadheads are for...........:)

Or in my case - a big rock. Damn pit bulls >:(. Oh but congrats on the squirrel :).

Should have established who's the dominant male >:D!

Yeah, but pitbull is a little greasy, unless you have a good sauce. :o

Or, one of your , Patented, Rock Squirrel, Blunts.

nice shot, well it saved having to dress it out....which would have been a huge pain, prob not worth it...seared in a pan with olive oil, then deboned and simmered in a red pasta sauce with fresh garllic and pepper to lay over a bed of noodles....yeah probably not worth it....drooooolllllllllllll.

pickin on them little buggers are we?

james, you should have seen the shot i made on a squirrel last week with the bow you made. a perfect head shot while the squirrel sat at the top of the pecan tree. i beat george, the pitbull, to that one. i figure if i can hit a squirrel, a deer shouldn't be a problem. besides, i love squirrel-n-dumplings!
-
Careful now everyone...congrats on your squirrel! ;)
-
Yeah, I would have let the Pit Bull have it also. They don't have a sense of sharing...... ;)

my little cousin (7) got bit by one, walking home from her elementary school. those damn things gotta be watched, swear to god its like there mental setup is iolent to begin with. how'd you like the g5? I'm pretty close to buying those hammers on 3riversarchery's site, not sure if you've seen em or not- like a very durable judo head. sorry to hear about you're loss, although im sure an accidental broadhead through that pit wouldnt be the worst thing ;D good luck man, maybe try bowfishing line ;D for the truley lazy outdoorsman ;) -jimmy

nice jo bon the squirrel but it is true dog was a delicasy to the natives...greasy.

Them Pit's are worth they're weight in gold if you want to run down hog's with dogs.That is alot of fun and trussing up them hogs would be a great deal more dangerous to handle if there was'nt a couple of Pitty's hanging off the pigs face.You feed them pigs on sweet feed for a few months and you got some fine eatin'
That's what pitt's were developed to do.They are bred to be fearless and bite.I think that trying to make cuddle pets out of them is right up there with making pet's of mountain lions,bobcat's,alligators,bear trap's,Meth addict's,etc......
Squirrel and gravy and biscuit's is probably one of the dinners that they eat in heaven. Frank

I have a pitbull....his name is Kaine, one thing you gotta know about pits is that they are good dogs to their specific owners...he's violent when i let him be and nice when i tell him to....they like to please their owner's...probably the most obediant dog I've ever owned...don't think i would ever get another breed!
P.S. Most of the "Pit bull" attacks that you hear about, really aren't pit bull's, it's just the media blowing things out of proportion....and pitbull's are actually a lot less "edgy" than most people think....look up some temperment studies on google!

Hell with google, I can look at the scars on people that I know and the obituary column in the paper to find all I need to know about pits. And I completely disagree about the pitbull attacks not being "real" pit bulls. I know of several people in this area that have been maimed and KILLED by pits, and I guess if they've got papers they should be "real." Their teeth are sure real enough. I have a good friend who spent months in the hospital and almost died from a "real" pit attack, with the owner trying to drag it off him while it was tearing him apart. There isn't hardly a week goes by here without a news report about somebody, especially kids, being killed or disfigured by one of them. I don't understand why people insist on defending the things and claiming that they aren't vicious. Bull crap. They're bred to kill and that's what they'll do sooner or later. One of my best friends thought that he wanted a pit and he wound up having to shoot it to protect his kids when it went beserk for no reason. It was a "real" one, too. I've been bit by one myself and was lucky enough to get it stomped down before it did major damage. These are unprovoked attacks I'm talking about, too. I really, really love dogs, but I hate a pit bull. Any one who thinks that theirs is lovable and different from the rest of them is deluding themselves and someone will pay the price sooner or later. I've had a lot of people get mad at me for saying that, but I don't really care-I believe what I see more than what somebody says. I'd gladly kill every one of them if I could.

Once again, they are true to their specific owner's and yes they can be vicious...but if properly trained they can be really good pets....and yes there are a lot of dog attacks that are pits....but there are even more dog attacks that happen that don't get publicized because they are not committed by pits (this is because the media has given the pit bull or any dog that looks like a pit bull a bad name over the years and people are "scared" of them) oh and yes even though pits were initially bred for killing (i.e. bull baiting, dog fighting, protection) in the 1930's and 1940's they were widely used as farm dogs to watch the wife and kids when dad was out working in the fields all day, another example is the original and remake of the little rascalls, that dog...was a pitbull and never showed signs of attack. They really are the "all american dog"....I do however believe that they do need special training and special attention when around stranger's... But going back to a lot of the attacks that are blamed on pitbulls, a lot of them can first be put into the category of pet owner's who aren't responsible enough to keep track of their dogs... Being a responsible pet owner is knowing where your dog is...(mine is not outside unless me or my family is out with it, or its in the house or on a chain)....

One thing to think of is... bring a kid up in a bad house with no rules....that kid is gonna end up in prison or worse, bring a kid up right, with rules and you're probably going to end up with one hell of a son...its the same way with dogs, you can bring any dog up to be a soldier and you can bring any dog up to be a teddy bear...

Good point Kylerprochaska
Nice job on the squirrels Chris, and as far as the breed of the dog, no comment. Trying to stay on track of the thread.

Sorry about getting of topic...I just get defensive about that subject...but Im going squirrel hunting tomorrow for the first time with a bow...Wish me luck!

Good shooting Chris, I know I would be hard pressed to hunt squirrels with a bow and would be out of arrows in short order. Well there is plenty of season left so you can get more. Kenneth

I took a shot at a squirrel the other day. I missed him, but only just. I swear I parted the hair on his back. It wasn't worth it though 'cause I lost my arrow.
