The two possums I posted a picture of earlier this week were killed with a .177 Benjamin Prowler. One shot to the head on one, a few more on the other. I kill coons with the same gun, only shot one squirrel with it so far -a fair sized fox squirrel. It fell at the shot, but the dogs got it and basically ate it before I could do an autopsy. I'd listen to Rockingbar, if he is killing hogs with a .25! I really want to try a .357 for hogs! I was so deadly on grackles at the marina with my son's old Crossman .177, a friend said he was going to have a full sized cardboard cutout of me and the gun made to use as a "scarecrow! Killed a big heron with it a friend put a "bounty" on because it was crapping all over his boat.
