    I don't approve of animal killing unless one is going to eat it.

      Yea, that'll take out a squirrel.

      Edit:
      And I agree with Tom

            only thing round here are possums that are glued to the pavement and the occasional groundhog depending on the time of year...ill stick with the squirrel..never had it before and want to try it so i figure since there's so many around here why not

              That squirrel is someone's child/mother/father. I'd leave them alone.

                and there's always that :^D

                I do have a particular fondness for squirrels. I have an oak tree in my back yard that's almost 300 years old. It's filled with tree rats, and I love watching them run around. Squirrels are my favorite common critter that you see around MD.

                    What does that mean? He said he will be eating them.

                    What do you hope will catch up with him? Unless you have figured out how to absorb energy from the sun or somehow synthesize food from raw chemicals, living means killing.

                        I had the Daisy version of that rifle(Powerline 880), and it would take out a squirrel. I suggest practicing with BBs, and when you're sure of your accuracy, try to get a squirrel. You be able to find easy skinning instructions online.

                          Yah no need to waste. But I hear they can be tasty lol I'm into hunting but only if it's to make something deliciouse for dinner. Some deer chilly, what do you know about that?
