NOT SO OT: Who here shoots squirrels
- Thread starter Boytano
- Start date
I was thinking of getting me a pellet gun the other day. I pegged one with a football last week. Squirrels and chipmunks gotta go.
I grew up hunting squirrel, rabbit, and deer. I mainly let traffic kill them for me, these days. When I hunted, I used a 12 gauge shotgun. An old Ithaca my uncle gave me. These days, residential, pellet rifles would be the choice. Some shoot as hard a firearm. Just be careful, and make sure of what's beyond your squirrel. These modern pellet rifles really are deadly weapons.

My grandfather only got joy in life his past few years in shooting them with his pellet gun
Add some subsonic .22lr ammo, and it’s almost as if they just fall over and die on their own.
Never use anything else. Almost every 22 rifle and pistol I own has a threaded barrel. Old colt revolver is the only one that doesn't.
I live on my farm. I shoot anything from dogs to squirrels.
I hit somewhere around 6-8 a year with my car. Does that count OP?
I’d love to get a couple more cans, but my wife spends all of my money on baby clothes and baby hair bows. Fml
Kill 2 birds with one stone and get her some cans, IYKWIM
Last week, I had to kill a rabid raccoon in my yard. Broad daylight, while mowing my lawn, here comes this raccoon. Comes right at me. I got a shovel out of the shed and smashed his head. Crazy.
Raccoons hate sanity.
Anybody want to be really challenged, drive on up to DC with yore pistol and I can take you back alley rat hunting. I’ve seen some bigger than gophers.
I once saw one on a Cleveland street bigger than a dog. Must have weighed a good 30 pounds.
