And I stopped using the Blue tipped gamo pellets and went back to some match grade lead pellets. The rifle is shooting better now.

PS: with the rifle scope not holding in place on the rifle is didn't matter where I moved the scope's reticles as it was not hitting anything I aimed at with the scope until I solved the problem with the scope mounts.

I ended up live trapping the fox squirrels from my yard. I think I trapped and moved about 5 fox squirrels. And yesterday I noticed that I have a new Fox Squirrel raiding my bird seed in the feeders. These tree rats breed faster than I can shoot and trap them.
Well the Tree rats are back again. This time they are smarter than before. The last squirrel I trapped in the Havaheart live animal trap stayed in the case too long and must have told the other 3 remaining squirrels not to step on the trip mechanism. Now the remaining squirrels run right though the opened trap doors and jump over the trip mechanism over and over again. It's like they have figured out how the trap works. This has me pissed off too. :O

These pesky squirrels have outsmarted me. So I got the Gammo Air rifle back out and tried to shoot them again. I missed high big time. I could see the squirrel on the ground about 35 yards away and saw the dirt fly up above the target when I fired. So I know that at this range the Gammo is shooting High again. I'm suspecting that the retical in the scope is bad and not holding zero. I'll have to test is out again and do some target practice and get the scope sighted in again. Meanwhile the pesky squirrels are eating my bird seed at will. I"m tempted to get a big rat trap and bury it inside the sunflower seeds. I won't do that but I'm tempted to think about doing it. I don't want to trap any birds or the neighbor's cat who use to sit in the bird feeder hoping to catch a bird. I guess the young cat didn't think that the birds could see him there? Or maybe he ate too much lead paint or something. But man that cat was either stupid or desperate or both. But it was funny seeing him sitting on the sunflower seeds in the bird feeder. He barely fit under the bird feeder's roof.
