Roamed the backyard with a bb gun for a long time. Sparrows and starlings were fair game.
First licensed hunt was for squirrel.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Rabbits... badly.
It wasn't initially explained to me that you wait for the dogs to circle the rabbit. I took a fox 'n hounds approach and followed the dogs. With me crashing through the brush the rascally rabbit was hesitant to return and we were all headed for the county line leaving gramps far behind scratching his head.

We had some kind of small red squirrel in our woods. Dad seemed pizzed at them so he started me off with his old mossberg 22 rifle and a box of ammo. That rifle was very accurate. Had a full wood stock. I havent got it out of my closet for years and haven't shot it in 30 years. I shot the heck out of them squirrels. Dang if Could kill them all.
Life can be rough on us dreamers.

Crows. They would sit on a swing set and make all sorts of noise every morning. Dad said I could shoot one. I took the screen out of my window and popped one with my pellet rifle the next day. Crows never sat there again. All I had to do was set the window screen on the ground and you wouldn’t see a crow on the property til I put the screen back.

Doves with a slingshot, shot large ball bearings, very lethal. Graduated to a pellet pistol when I was older.

Doves. Single shot 410. Wasn’t very effective on flyers, got one the first year and two the next. I could ground sluice them or wait until the landed in a willow though and do pretty good.
