A month of small game has passed. We went with a Benjamin Titan .22. My daughter had good accuracy (squirrel headshot) out to 30 yards or so.

Not much success so far but filling the freezer is not our goal. Most of the time we sit in the woods and listen to the squirrels laughing at us Still it has been fun getting into the woods.

We will try to get out a few more times before the snow falls. Maybe even try it throughout the winter.
