Absolutely, kill them suckers and fry them up. Head shots with a 17 hmr or a 22. If not one of those a 410,20, or 12 gauge work wonders.

Love to hunt squirrels their tasty and using a rifle 22 or 17 can help improve marksmanship.

And when I die let me die
With a dream in my mind
A smile on my face and no trouble behind
And no cross on my grave
To show my restin' place

my dad cooks squirrels so they taste better than deer!
we had a squirell migration here in ny 8 years ago, i shot my limit every time i went out. sniping squirells is a good time with a 22. and they really do taste great!
now that its 10 below 0 here in NY, they are holed up tight-no action
waitin for the weather to break.

I watched my cousin shoot a gray squirrel in the head with a .17 HMR last month--it took the back half clean off.
