Nobody but a mental case shoots animals just for grins. A lot of
people have had no hunting experience, or farming. I guess it
is culture clash. We have Varmits, which cause damage to crops
machinery, and live stock. They are shot for a reason. Then we
kill and process our own Steers and hogs, instead of buying at
the store. Every once in a while we have to shot a animal because of sickness or injury, instead of hauling to vet and paying
him to do it. Then we hunt, never shot anything you don't intend
to eat. All this has been accomplished with the lowly 22, for a
100years. I find it weird that all of a sudden a 22 won't do its
job. Not to PC, but it is fact. The late Jack O'connor said that
anyone who went in woods with a 30/30 and couldn't kill one,
had no business in the woods- same with 22, if you have to
shoot a squirrel 3 times, maybe someone else should be doing
the shooting.
