Years ago I was squirrel hunting with some reduced loads in a 22 Hornet. I shot a squirrel and saw it fall but I held my position to see if there any others nearby. After a few minutes I walked up to the tree that the squirrel had been in and looked all around the tree but no squirrel. I continued through the woods and maybe a hundred yards further along a squirrel started barking at me, just giving me hell. I lined up on it, shot and saw it fall. I found it at the base of the tree and it had a semi-circular plug missing from its nose. 😳 It was the one I had shot at a few minutes earlier.
I guess it was really pissed at me but should have kept quiet.
