OK, so this was a first. I hunt because it is my heritage, and what I take is not about being proud or bragging. This was just unique, at least for me.
Today was opening day of Squirrel Season - August 15. So took to the woods to enjoy the day. On our way out, a gray squirrel ran behind me, and when he paused, I took the shot. As I had hoped, the hit was true and the squirrel fell out of the tree. I hadn't even started to go pick him up when I heard something above me, and another squirrel was falling out of the tree.
I had only fired one shot (from a 20 gauge double) but had hit two squirrels. To be honest, I only thought (and saw) the one squirrel. The limit is 5 per day, so the shot was legal. However, I've never in all my years of hunting for anything, fired one shot and ended up taking two of any species.
I will add, it was a new gun (a Stoeger Double Barrel) and that was the first time I had shot it. I have yet to fire the second barrel : )
A rather unique opening day!
