Didn't know I needed a reason, I was a squirrel hunter before a deer hunter...Back in the 60s we simple didn't have enough deer to hunt, we had a shotgun and a .22, no "deer" rifle...I learned to shoot hunting squirrels and Dad would kick your butt if you didn't use a head shot...The shotgun was used for ducks, doves, quail and rabbits run in front of beagles...
