slingshot 3/8 steel ball, the closer the better.
Once the leaves thin out and the squeakers are easier to see, the 22 pistol is the best game in town.
That's what hunting is about, a challenge. After all, if you just want meat, go to the grocery store.Hmmm, I don't understand why some of youens would use a .22 pistol over a .22 rifle? Is it for the sheer challenge of it?
For me, a pistol is easier to tote around, and with the ones I have I'm not really giving up any accuracy. Truth be told, probably 90% of my squirrel hunting has been done with a Marlin Model 15 single shot 22 rifle. But after a few 100K rounds it don't shoot quite like it used to.
I have never had to track down a wounded squirrel.I just knew sooner or later someone here would recommend the 30-ought-silly !!!!
