Re: Squirrel Hunting
I use my Marlin 60 with a 4X Weaver scope in raised scope rings so I can use open sights in case they're close. I have also used my Henry .22, 20 ga O/U Huglu, 20 ga Sears SXS (I sold it last year to fund my AK), my .22 Colt SAA Peacemaker and my S&W 22A .22
When I'm really after meat I use the shotgun, when I'm up for a challenge, I take a .22 rifle. I always take a .22 pistol for a really close shot, and a .45 for bigger predators both 2 and 4 legged.

Re: Squirrel Hunting
I always liked the challenge of using my Winchester lever action model 150 with .22 shorts since they are quieter. Cheap Tasco scope on top did the trick. I always tried for head shots only, for the challenge.
Never got good enough to 'bark' 'em. Some of ya'll know what that is, I'm sure!!!

Re: Squirrel Hunting
I just realized that we never did get the recipe for bird-feeder pie from Tranter. What's up with that?

Cant say I blame them, who knew what would happen? Its the pregnant frogs all over again... Until the 1950s the only pregnancy test we had was frogs. They used to keep them in hospitals, and inject them with the womans urine. If the woman was pregnant, the frog would ovulate within hours! A lot of these frogs became sick, escaped and in some way spread the illness to other amphibians. This is now spreading across the world.
