Squirrels...what can I say ...I'm from Louisiana and we eat everything.
Actually when I was a boy , my Daddy would give me 5 22 LR rounds and tell me " boy you don't shoot nothing you don't intend to eat" One day while hunting I saw movement up on a tree trunk , thinking it was a squirrel, when it moved where I had something to shoot at I fired ,it dropped out of the tree , I went over and to my surprise it was a woodpecker. We brought it home and it went in the Gumbo pot with the squirrels.
Squirrels are my favorite target because they taste better than woodpeckers.

Squirrels preferably high up, at range... Just something about one pop and the plunge to the ground In the absence of squirrels crows make for good target practice although they lack the culinary appeal of squirrel and dumplings (or maybe fried).

My favorite target is mr wabbit. I like to hear the thunk as they pop. Btw, without starting a sxxxstorm, who feels comfortable shooting without a backstop with .22? Ie bird in a tree? Is there enough energy to cause injury when the round comes back to earth?

There's more than enough to kill someone if hit in the right place. Have you never read the warning label on a box of .22s?

Yeah, I have. I was just surprised by the earlier comment on the thread about knocking squirrels out of a tree. Personally I use my .22 exactly the same as I use my .243, hard backstops and shooting down all the time.

That caught my attention too! I only shoot into a backstop of some kind. Shooting up into a tree is only ok with a BB gun.
