    Squirrels are very frequently hunted with a .22. It works great for squirrels, but (like a pellet rifle) can be lethal to a human - especially if you shoot them in the head.

    And there’s legitimate reasons to shoot squirrels. I used to do it for an exotic animal preserve because their population would explode and they’d eat everything in site.

      got a few friends who would go out to the family farm and hunt squirrel for a week for just this reason.
