LOL point taken.

And unless I'm misreading the fish and game code, those cute little buggers may only be taken (with a hunting license) in the proper season, and in terms of boomsticks only with a shotgun (shot smaller than BB) or air gun.

And... only in the proper county! No squirrel hunting in SoCali!

No rifles allowed... who'd a thunk it?

Does a bow count?

Does a bow count?

Squirrel hunting in your backyard? haha

[pullnshoot25]

Yep. Pretty much anything with a heartbeat gets the shaft, hehehe.

Holey underwear...pulnshoot25 is Robin Hood in disguise!

IIRC I think archery is kosher for the tree squirrels in those counties where it's lawful to take 'em also.

EDIT: I stand corrected! And quite happily so... Firearm rifles and pistols are legal to take Bunnies and Squirrels except in LA County! Hooray!

But as to not wanting us to shoot rifles up in the air... ya gots a point!!! LOL

Tatt, you should know better than to feed live prey to your snake. Especially prey with big teeth. Might bite your snake and hurt the little darling.
