Mar.25 Today I was on a tufa point ½ mi.
E of the Truckee River on the Pyramid
Lake Indian reservation and while
resting part way up the hill I noted
15 or 20 Antelope Squirrels running
around in the tufa & rocks below me.
They were close to one another and
some were chasing each other. Two ran
20 ft from me and I killed both
of them in one shot with the 41/0 gauge
pistol. I shot 2 others from the same
bunch and to my surprise all 4 were
males as follows.
