Hehe yeah I have picked a pound or three of shot from squirrels before. BUT here over half of our season the trees are in FULL leaf and getting them with a 22 requires iron sights, and incredible targeting at eyeblink speeds. You may get one shot every two hours witha 22 here. With a shotgun you get seven or eight shots a minute. Most of the squirrel we shoot we do so with them at a dead run. When fall comes and the leaves drop thats when I pull out the old 22. Until then I just can't do enough good with it to make it worthwhile. Well that and we are surrounded by cow pastures. If you did miss a shot you are more likely to hit beef than you are dirt. Still I have to say a 22 in the head on a squirrel is a hard thing to beat though.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
