My neighbor and I try to keep the squirrel numbers down as they tear up a garden pretty bad.
I spotted one out the kitchen window running through the woods into a power line clearing. It stopped to finish the hickory nut it was carrying.
I knew it was a good ways for a .177 cal pellet gun even though a break barrel but thought what the heck.
Rested it on the side of the kitchen window frame and aimed about an inch high through the scope and squeezed one off and the squirrel dropped in it's tracks.
Walked it off at 40 yards. Pellet hole right through it's forehead. Still had the hickory nut in it's mouth.
Another time shot a crow with the same gun out of the top of a tree about 70 yards away. Aimed high on him too.
Those little .177 cal. break barrels sure are fun.
