Squirrels are definitely tough! It takes a solid head shot to drop one with a blunt. Years ago when I was a kid, I blunted one square in the ribs and nocked it off the limb it was sitting on, a good 30' up. It hit the ground and I put it in my bag. About 10 minutes later, that sonuvagun got came alive and frisky and like to have clawed me to pieces as it scooted up the back of my T-shirt and neck and used my head for a launching pad. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I prefer blunts and judo points but, after that experience, I only go for head shots when I'm hunting bunnies and squirrels. Their heads are bigger targets than their heart/lung area and, on a rabbit hiding in the briars, the first thing I see is usually his eye.
