When I go out with a .177 airgun, I usually take my jack russel terriers, they' re fast enough to run ahead of the squirrels and get them stopped so I can shoot them before they hole up. They' ll just sit up there and stare at the dogs then, so I can make an easy shot. When I don' t take the dogs but keep the air gun, I do a lot of running, and it really sucks, that' s why we invented scatterguns.

On rabbits, I ride horseback or walk through a pasture that I know they live in, then when I see one jump, I stalk over to it, get within 20yrds, and put a pointed pellet through it' s head, right below the ear. If you shoot the body with a bb or flat nosed pellet, you' re likely to hear the slap, and then your bunny will run off. I also wait for them to come out in the evenings and eat the clover growing in my fiance' s front yard, then plink them from the porch. It usually works much better to use a .22lr though, and even moreso I like .410' s, then you can hunt them much like hunting birds, walk through a field, and get what you get.
