Got this one on one of my feeders on the edge of my yard and our field. about 20 yards. Just used a cheap, Crossman Storm XT .177. Quick dispatch with a headshot
( The squirrels hind quarters were cleaned and are in the freezer. Fur is being brain tanned and tail hair is being used for tying flies ) The rest of the squirrel is in our "Game" deep freezer and will be used to hunt over for Coyotes / fox with my .223 one of these weekends )

| Doing a "Fur on the hide" tan.. ( I keep pelts ), also.. using the rest of the remains to hunt over means I will be taking them in the field and using it for bait, for coyote. And, I fly fish alot ( for Brown Trout ), the hair on the tail makes a very nice material for fly tying. |

| I wouldn't think there would be enough brain to tan the hide of a squirrel. |

| Every animal has just enough brain matter to tan its own fur. Im sure there are a couple exceptions, but squirrels arent one of them. |

Interesting...never heard of that before.I was at Howarth park yesterday up in Nor Cal,and we saw a couple.I had a sack of sunflower seeds,so I tossed a few out there.Within 20 minutes they were everywhere..  These little guys just came right up to me.A couple even got up on the bench with me,and stood up waiting for a hand out.I could have probably hand fed them,but wouldn't..."I like my fingers".Never been that close to squirrels before.They were pretty fat too... |

| Yeah, squirrels at our local park will eat out of your hand if you sit there long enough w/food coaxing them...pretty entertaining to watch. |

Sounds like bare handed hunting to me.
No perverted jokes, Sniper... chokin' a squirrel, much? |
