Squirrel hunting this weekend

I am going to take the youngest, 12, and go hunting this weekend just to get away and spend some quality time. He wants to take his bantam 20 gauge Mossberg which is fine since the leaves are still all there for the most part. I think I will take my old Marlin .22 bolt action. I put a new 4X on it I picked up at Bass Pro, and fixed my trigger issue by replacing the trigger spring with one from a ball point pen off my desk. After taking apart several pens I got the right weight. Works great, but there is still a smidgen of creep. It is light years better though. Very accurate.

The last time we were down there squirrel hunting we ran onto a herd of feral pigs. I will take the Super Blackhawk just in case we get lucky.
