I believe it.

Anyway, in your wide open spaces you couldn't get within .32 round ball range of anything except paper and tin cans.

Semi, you ever "bark" with that there squirrelie gun? Old Great Gramps had him a .32 Kentucky squirrelie rifle. Never had a mark on the squirrelies either. I really screwed the pooch about 25 years ago and traded that rifle for a nice .357 Python. At the time it was probably an "okay" deal, but man I could probably get a freaking mint for it now.

Never hunted with this one Super Hunt. Actually, I'm not much of a squirrel hunter except for shooting a dozen or two for the pot out of the front yard oak trees. They do make a fine gravy. I do plan to make a few late evening walks down our logging roads this Fall in pursuit of some wascally wabbits.

Nice slow fried tender young squirrel, Biscuits, Gravy, scrambled eggs DANG I'm hungry again! Even better, 2 squirrels, 2 rabbits, quarterd up, onion, carrot, couple cloves garlic, basil, thyme, celery seed (crushed fine), Salt,pepper, 2 bay leafs, saute up 2 table spoons of tomato paste to brown it a smidge and release it's flavor then put that in, 2 cups chicken stock, cup or so of water if needed to cover everything, teaspoon Worchestershire, all in a slow cooker for about 8 hours on low and BAM!

Super Hunt, your 2 squirrel/2 rabbit recipe is pretty much how I do it too, except I like to go with 2 squirrels per rabbit. And I season the squirrels with black pepper and cayenne pepper, lightly dust them with flower and quick brown them (not fully cooked) in a skillet with a bit of oil over high heat before combining all of the ingredients. Also, I've not used the celery seed. I have to try that.

Semi...

I've often wondered what a man such as yourself with a God given talent to "make do" could turn out if you had a Bridgeport vertical mill, a Hardinge tool room lathe, and a good quality surface grinder. It's mind boggling to say the least!!

What BPS? Are you telling me there are tools that go beyond cordless drills, bench top drill presses, reciprocating saws, hack saws, and files???? I can't imagine such things.

Well Semi let's put it this way... I don't know what your profession was, but I know you would have made one helluva good tool and die maker had that been the path you chose!!
