OMG! I was target practicing with my M1911A1 .45 at about 25 yds. Afterwards, I was walking back to the house and heard a squirrel raising hell in a nearby tree. I walked closer to about 25 yds and drew a bead on it thinking....no way, but what the hell, its still there. BOOM. The squirrel hit the ground before the shell casing did.

This one will not be making it to the stew pot:D

why do people feel the need to shoot any wildlife that dare make itself known to them? what is the benefit of killing something like that?

damn cavemen.

[sarcasm]Everyone knows you can't hit anything with a .45 at 25 yds.[/sarcasm]

For food. And it did make itself known to me. Countless others have too. They were cooked and eaten. This one would have been too if it had been a cleaner shot.

Unless you eat rocks and sand, EVERTHING you eat was killed. Be it animal or vegetable. KILLED for you to eat. You may not have, but someone did.

Don't even go there.

BS.. you shot it for fun and didn't need to. Clean shot? With a .45 on a squirrel? LOL.

My Kimber shoots 2" or less groups at 25 yards. I would have known I could have hit the little rodent.

I got nothing against tree squirrles and do all my hunting at safeway these days but.... ground squirrles? shoot every one I can.
