Me neither. The woodchuck had his hole right next to my driveway. I didn't want him digging underneath it and collapsing it. Plus, my young kids used to look in at him and I figured it was only a matter of time until they got bit. I tried smoke bombs in his hole and he came back. BB to his *** and he came back. He .22 was a last resort.
Squirrel was probably 10'minutes from death when I killed it. Eye was hanging out. Flies already covering him. Just trying to end his suffering.
No problem with hunting for food or population control. But if I wanna have fun shooting something I'll head to the range with some water bottles filled with food colored water.
