Yeah they eat a few. But to many acorns can poison them.
Numbers are high. Still need to knock quite a few over. Just starting to see regrowth in the understory.
But fat they are here’s a pricket.
Note how all the growth goes into there body and not antlers here.

Fairly common for this area.
As for the sling. It’s the only one that doesn’t slip of my shoulder. Which was a right pain.

C over these ways a spiker with that sort of length would have the potential to grow into something big

Fat little fallows there.tasty i bet.

Shit he is a fat bastard, fat as a seal. Here is a link to the slings: https://www.niggeloh.de/en/rifle-slings.html
I have four of the standard type slings. The 'Loden' would look good on your CF2, but never having had one I cant say if it has the same stretch and anti bounce shock absorbing that makes the standard one so good. I put the forward end of the sling on the barrel 'Safari Style' which lowers the centre of gravity, brings the gun closer and makes a heavy rifle like a CF2 light
