With all the growth hormones these days, that shouldn't be a problem.

Patlal said: Back it in the day when America was discovered, squirrels were one of the best source of protein out there. Abundant, easy to hunt and apparently delicious. Many famous people of the time listed squirrel as being one of their favorite food. Whether you eat the loin by itself next to potatoes with gravy or in a stew, squirrel is supposedly delicious. Squirrels were even part of high end dining served in 5 star hotels.
So what happened? Ever since the 70s squirrel eating was directly linked to southern white trash and suddenly nobody wanted to serve it anymore. Too cute and furry. Immoral. Nasty. Might as well eat rats.
Personally, when I see a squirrel hoping right in front of me (because they aren't even scared of humans anymore) I think that one day ima shoot one in the face and eat it.
Would you eat squirrel?

Go with a 410, or a 22 rifle. Unless you're a bad ass with a bow.

Yeah, get a .22 with rat-shot. You'd have to be a bow master to hunt squirrels with one.

I know some people down south who will cook up squirrel brains with their scrambled eggs.

I know people up north who hunt them. More because they are tree rats with bushey tails. They fuck up my garden And eat all my bird seeds

Do you think a cheap bb/pellet gun would kill a groundhog if I got a headshot? I have a Daisy Powerline 880 which has a muzzle velocity of 800fps apparently.

A cheap one, no. I've shot rats in the face with that exact BB gun (I have it in my closet) and the first shot only momentarily stuns them. Takes several shots to kill them completely. I imagine bigger "game" it would be even less effective on. The one in that link people have said they use to hunt small game with successfully and it's not too expensive as far as hunting air guns go (they can easily be 1k+).
The 880 being a pump action and requiring the full 10 pumps to approach 800 fps isn't going to allow for quick follow ups.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Ok well thanks for the tip, I figured it was inadequate since it only cost $20, I just use it for target shooting and stuff. Guess I will have to use my wits to defeat them.

You are right. He is clearly an uncivilized heathen who probably rode a llama across the steppes. Steak sauce is an abomination and a crime against nature. Unless it is Bearnaise on a filet mignon. Because filet mignon has almost no flavor of its own and Bearnaise sauce is awesome as fuck. The better the cut the rarer it should be but no steak should ever be beyond medium rare. Steak tartar is awesome.

500 Foot pound air rifle, an air rifle so powerful you can kill a deer with it. Isn't considered a firearm and isn't regulated, anyone can own one.
Get one, kill shit.
