i'm no legal expert, but shooting squirrels could probably be considered cruelty to animals, a misdemeanor at best

I'd call it pest control.

It's only cruelty if needless suffering is inflicted solely for the sake of personal enjoyment (like shooting the neighbors cat in the ass with a BB gun to see how high it'll jump! *evil grin* ).

That's why you choose a powerful enough weapon for the job, within the contraints of practicality (i.e. no .50BMG in for ground squirrels). Get it over with quick and clean. If he were out the country I'd suggest a .223 Rem or .22-250, but that's a little much for his purposes.

.22-250 + ground squirrel= Red mist and a memory.

Are you worried that he might hurt the poor squirrels feelings?

think of it this way, you could buy poison(legally) and kill them with a 2 day pain full death....... and say they died on the road some where and a hawk sees it and thinks"hay, easy meal!" so it goes down, eats it and then dies....why?? the poison in the squirrel you used to kill the squirrel, also kills the hawk....So you are doing ALOT more damange to poison the squirrel rather than to kill it on the spot with a pellet gun. Im not going to go out hunting and shoot 50 squirrels a day......or will i

Ah yes the 10/22, my dad got one about 10 years ago we've put tens of thousands of cartridges through it, great fun. it has spoiled many a bunnys day. I always thought Its trigger was poor compared to my Weirauch air-rifle and I think it barrel is worn out now.

For serious rabbit use going from an air-rifle to the .22 rimfire makes it sooo easy I think you have to be a better shot with the airgun and even then youve only got 40 yards.

If I were you corey11 I'd just use the same money to buy a 10/22 and fire subsonics with a sound moderator (makes less noise than an air-rifle) and you get 10 shots without cocking/reloading.

remember, whether it's cruelty to animals is decided by the jury, and they are not known to be that smart most of the time. even if you are to come out not guilty, the cost of legal defense could put you in chapter 13 already.

if i were you i'd choose more conventional pest control method... think of the connotation of shooting squirrels in your backyard. doesn't sound too good, does it?

yeah man....them varments make good eatin in Georgia.

I used to take out the little bastards with my Daisy pellet gun.
Then my dad found out we wre killin all the squirrels in the neighborhood and just leaving them there.

Boy I got a butt whippin, big time! Then afterwards, he showed me how to skin and gut one in 5 seconds flat.

Pan fried is ok, but I prefer them in a pie.


Grandma's Squirrel Pot Pie

1 cup Bisquick (Original Recipe)
1 cup of milk
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 can sliced mushrooms (drained)
1 one pound bag frozen mixed vegetables (thawed and warmed on stove top)
2 large eggs
3 guttted/skinned/boiled/de-boned large gray squirrels cut into chunks.
1 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons salt
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
mix eggs, bisquick and milk with a fork til blended well and set aside.
mix soups, meat and vegetables in ungreased 9 inch baking pan.
Pour blended batter on top til covered completely.
Cook 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

Notes from BigRob: for variety soups can be interchanged with cream of brocolli, cream of asparagus, cream of celery or cream of chicken.. Makes a hearty meal for 4 adults/ feeds six children/entire village in the phillipines...

One note of caution: Watch out for lead pellets or BB's when eating. Ha! Sometimes one or two gets missed when cleaning the meat after the hunt....

If you want them to be nice an tender, try pressure cooking them prior to any other method of cooking (like frying). Makes 'em nice and tender and juicy.

You sure have got to love the Ruger 10/22. You can get all kinds of great upgrades for them like bull barrels and custom stocks. I put a bull barrel and Hogue Synthetic stock on mine. Shoots great. I don't shoot animals though. I actually haven't fired any of my guns in many years. Selling most of them to pay for my heli habit.

Beezer,

I thought you guys couldn't have semi-auto's up in The Union of Kanadian Socialist Republiks. How's that BILLION+ dollar gun owner registration and licensing system coming along? And how does it feel to be a marked man for doing nothing more than owning a firearm (if you, like so many other brave Canadians, told the liberal sissys to stick their gun registration up their rears and didn't register, I'd understand completely)?

I really feel sorry for sportsman up in Canada. Your government really railroaded you guys for the sins of a few people who are going to get guns and kill people anyway.

*steps off the soapbox*

Yeah tell me about it Mike. As for that BILLION+ dollar gun owner registration and licensing system. I just love seeing my tax dollars hard at work on an obsolete system that our own police
forces said would not work and was a waist of money. As usual the politicians don't listen to them either. Glad I am getting rid of all my guns. (wink, wink)
