Our So Cal meeting at El Dorado Park made the FTE/IB email blast! Pretty cool for the chapter to get that exposure to all of FTE land.

Here is a web version of the email blast:

So today my Satellite signal went out.... turns out a squirrel ate through the feed cables from the dish on the roof. Waiting for tomorrow for new lines to be installed.... and they are chew proof!

I need me a big mean ***** err uhh cat! These beach squirrels are as big as the dog, but the dog can't climb up onto the roof! My kid's cat is a real *****... err uhh scaredy cat. I wonder if the squirrels can swim, or maybe even surf? I got rid of the Opossums, and the Raccoons a few years ago. Had them trapped and hauled out to Coal canyon, by my exterminating buddy. I wish the dog could climb trees!

50 gr. Hornady SX at about 3100 FPS, lots of red goo. Just kidding. In central Ca. we called them ground squirrels. Some carry pretty serious bugs!

How long did it take you to train those squirrels to lie still like that, Bill?
