Much tougher target than a big ol' deer. You're ready. Plus squirrels taste like chicken

Did you have to bone him out and make several trips or did you get freinds to help drag him to the truck?

More power to you, bro. Enjoy the squirrel stew...

My wife, an otherwise normal outdoors-gal, feeds the damn things and has forbidden their demise except in case of extreme need of chow. Subsequently, the squirrels on our property are so fat they can hardly climb to the feeders. I swear, they look like ground hogs.

I was testing some arrows yesterday and watched one of these long tailed pigs WALK to the next tree to "escape" from one of the cats.

It took all my will power not to draw a judo from the quiver and knock that fat, entitled slob right off the feeder and into the crock pot... :D
