Gray squirrels get most of our pears. Some of them get a 22LR hollow point for their efforts.

The squirrels ate every single walnut on my folk's Black Walnut tree. They also did severe damage to the pecans... Cotton tails took several bites outta' every single mellon in the garden. Little bastids.
Brother has shot several with the 'ol .20 cal Sherridan, but to no avail.
l told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. Make your life go here. Here's where the peoples is. Mother Gue, I says, the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world, and by God, I was right.

1911a1: My Sherridan has got to be at least 40 years old. I still have a schite-load of .20 cal pellets from back in the day, so I haven't purchased any new pellets since that time. A quick search just now, shows .20 cal pellets to be widely available.
That Sherridan hadn't been cleaned or maintained for decades and still works. It was looking rough and the stock was loose and dry, so last year, I tightened it up and completely slathered up the danged thing with some chainsaw bar oil I had drained out of an old chainsaw. It was a bit sticky for a while, but looks a lot better now and it is still accurate - I'd say minute of squirrel brain accurate - or close enough, but my eyes aren't nearly as sharp as they once were.
