It's a well kept secret here in Central Virginia and in the Shenandoah Valley about the squirrels being tough and vengeful in this neck of the woods.When I shoot at one of the critters I want to make sure I 'em get dead fast.
I like to shoot the turkeys on the wing. Those big ol bullets weigh them down so they land and I can run over and cut their throats.

I won't waste a 45 caliber bullet on our deer. I take my grandson'd pellet gun for shooting them. Some of our older squirrels are bigger them the deer.
