What are small critters that in your opinion are tough /hard to kill.
My vote would be coons.

Coons, tiny brain and hard to find. Even when you do hit it they twitch all over the place for 15-30 seconds.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

gray squirrels can be kind of tough. i've seen them take a load of shot and head for zee hills. also seen them cling to a tree for a while and then drop. but not much can take a CCI mini-mag in the brain

The secret to killing small critters is ; 1] get real close , 2] shoot them with a 25-06 - 75gr. Vmax bullet .
It's worked for me quite a few times .

Yep. My vet says the same. Sees cats survive some bad stuff. I remember the 80's tv show - That's Incredible - a cat fell from a 20-30? story building - nipped a fire escape handrail on the way down - hit a canvas awning that was at a 45* angle to shed water - that shot the cat into traffic where it was ran over by a car . Cat lived and was there on the show no worse for wear .

I watched a coon take a few shots from a 9mm with very little reaction. Darn thing just kept clinging to the side is the tree and looking at us.

Frogs. Toughest SOB's ever created. You can gig em, club em, cut off their legs, and they still act like nothing ever happened.
