Paul, thanks for the heads up. I really don't do it that much anymore and never really carried a pellet gun on me, it just sat in the blind. Now a days, I don't mind the squirrels as much as I did on my earlier years. I play Sodoku when the prime hunting hours are over and getting a little bored so nowthe noises the squirrels make keep me on my toes and looking up every 30 seconds or so. I still don't like those little buggers but I have waved the white flag and learned to live with them.
