Squirrel Huntin with a paintball gun

I borrowed a paintball gun from a friend to try to get rid of a few more squirrels. Here is what I ended up with after trying to wash the paint out...

The effect is awesome. Nice discovery. Opens the imagination on what other types of hair could be altered.

I have never heard of hunting squirrels with a paint ball gun. I guess they die of a heart attack? I have heard of barking them with a rifle and them dying of a heart attack. Tell us how you do it. I need to thin them out a little here at the house.

I think the hunting with paintball is just a joke because it is dyed colored squirrel fur he is using on the jigs. I have a pack of this myself.

Also look at Skips signature. He shows a pack of this as well.

SuperDave336 you blew my cover in the paintball story!

I am not sure why my wife and kids say they have a hard time believing me sometimes.

Love the blue jigs!!!

I knew it looked like some of the fur in Skip's signature photo, but it sure had me wondering. My kids used to shoot at everything with their paint ball guns and the squirrels get so close to you here at my house with the rapid fire feature you might be able to at least hit one.

Santa Claus is real too....lol....

Got some in the freezer now. Any tips on dye....I'v heard everything from hair dye to koolaid.

Veniards is well know and probably the best, but there are several ways to dye and some better than the others.

Here is an article about it. "Using Veniards Fly Tying Dye, Fly Tying - Volume 5, Week 15 Fly Angler's OnLine"

A few more yellows...
