i used to use my kimber 45 at the ex-in-laws to thin the little b@^#**! out. one day i went 3 shots, three squirrels, and not a one of them was standing still. my then father in law was half blind and would shoot at them with the 10/22, but they were safe if they stood still. however they did get a tad jumpy and did not stick around once they heard the door open. it made for some fast shooting let me tell you. then, i would put their little bodies on the snow and the eagles would swoop down and have them gone before i could get back to the house. happy times.
