[QUOTE="del2les, post: 3039265, member: 9299"] My older brother by 10 years and a good childhood friend raised and trained squirrel dogs, and squirrel hunting with those 2 were some of the greatest memories I had as a young teen and young man. Out at the very crack of day until lunch, we would bring home a potpourri of game found in the timber and small fields. Squirrels, rabbits, quail, doves and the occasional racoon found bedded up in a fork. But mostly gray and fox squirrels. I remember my friend loved using an old, worn Savage 311 12ga double, while I would act as the sniper with a 22LR. If I missed or the squirrel began to "top out" running, he had it covered. My older brother often used his old Remington 1100 in 16ga, but eventually he bought a Savage model 24 over/under in 222 Rem over 20ga. After a trigger job and creating some reduced handloads for the 222, that thing was a serious squirrel killer. Sadly, they are gone now, and now my health is declining also, but there are days I find myself thinking of all those times and missing them both. [/QUOTE]
