Exactly. Fking Shotguns tear shit up to much. I Hunted for food not sport. Sport hunting is a bunch of bullshit. If you think your a bad ass because you can hide and kill an Animal you are an idiot.

Growing up in an agricultural hunting area, I hunted squirrels, rabbits, and frogs with a 22 LR and hunted both waterfowl, upland birds, and deer with a Savage 12 gauge single and slugs. My first deer with a rifle was after I moved to OR.
We didn't have that many deer locally, so I got most of my practice on birds, so a shotgun is my best weapon too. I was an embarrassment with a rifle against my dad or grandfather. My dad actually taught me to shoot shotgun with a 22 shooting at bottles that he tossed at the local dump.
My grandfather switched to 22 Hornet for squirrel and killed squirrels by "barking" them. When they hugged a branch, he shot the branch right under their chests and stopped their hearts. No holes, just a bruised chest.
I don't hunt anymore, but when I did, I found that a loud whistle will stop most squirrels, rabbits, or deer, allowing a clean head or neck shot. Otherwise a running shot is hit or miss and I've seen some sadly mutilated animals. Sometimes cows and horses mistaken for deer or elk.
It is interesting that currently I can charm a squirrel down a tree to take a peanut from my hand, now that I'm not looking at them as choice chow.
Developing a closer relationship with them does take the joy out of even harvesting (killing) animals for food. Growing up a awkward kid, some of my best friends were animals. Sadly I tried to become a vegetarian early on in life, but my body rebelled and reminded me that I am an omnivore.
Mayhaps our next stage in evolution is to develop a food source including animal protein, but not involving living animals.
I am not a vegetarian. However, if one is inclined to keep up with it and all, it is possible to obtain all protein types from vegetables.
Certain ones containing certain proteins, when combined with certain other vegetable proteins will in combination create proteins that don;t exist in either. Too much trouble for me. I don't hunt, and if a stranger, a cat, a dog and a squirrel come to the door, only the stranger MAY have a problem. The others are liable to get adopted and better care than most kids do these days.

As a kid I thought that then I learned not to kill just for fun. Now there are some elected officials I might just make an exception of.
Brave man… and I patrolled the DMZ… so it’s a very high compliment, not a dig.

Here is the article where a Yale Professor has fanticies about killing whit people. Why isn't she called out on this.
A Psychiatrist Invited to Yale Spoke of Fantasies of Shooting White People
The Yale School of Medicine said the tone and content of a lecture by Dr. Aruna Khilanani, who has a private practice in New York, were “antithetical to the values of the school.”

A psychiatrist said in a lecture at Yale University’s School of Medicine that she had fantasies of shooting white people, prompting the university to later restrict online access to her expletive-filled talk, which it said was “antithetical to the values of the school.”
The talk, titled “The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind,” had been presented by the School of Medicine’s Child Study Center as part of Grand Rounds, a weekly forum for faculty and staff members and others affiliated with Yale to learn about various aspects of mental health.
In the online lecture, on April 6, the psychiatrist, Dr. Aruna Khilanani, who has a private practice in New York and is not affiliated with Yale, described a “psychological dynamic that is on PTSD repeat,” in which people of color patiently explain racism to white people, who deny their attacks. When people of color then become angry, white people use that anger as “confirmation that we’re crazy or have emotional problems,” she said.
She recalled a white therapist telling her in psychoanalysis that she was “psychotic” whenever she expressed anger at racism, and said she had spent “years unpacking her racism to her,” even though she was the one being charged for the sessions.
“This is the cost of talking to white people at all — the cost of your own life, as they suck you dry,” Dr. Khilanani said in the lecture, which drew widespread attention after Bari Weiss, a former writer and editor for the opinion department of The New York Times, posted an audio recording of it on Substack on Friday. “There are no good apples out there. White people make my blood boil.”
Dr. Khilanani added that around five years ago, “I took some actions.”
“I systematically white-ghosted most of my white friends, and I got rid of the couple white BIPOCs that snuck in my crew, too,” she said, using an acronym for Black and Indigenous people and people of color.
“I had fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way, burying their body and wiping my bloody hands as I walked away relatively guiltless with a bounce in my step, like I did the world a favor,” she said, adding an expletive.
Later in the lecture, Dr. Khilanani, who said she is of Indian descent, described the futility of trying to talk directly to white people about race, calling it a “waste of our breath.”
“We are asking a demented, violent predator who thinks that they are a saint or a superhero to accept responsibility,” she said. “It ain’t going to happen. They have five holes in their brain.”
Dr. Khilanani, a forensic psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, said in an email on Saturday that her words had been taken out of context to “control the narrative.” She said her lecture had “used provocation as a tool for real engagement.”
“Too much of the discourse on race is a dry, bland regurgitation of new vocabulary words with no work in the unconscious,” she said. “And, if you want to hit the unconscious, you will have to feel real negative feelings.”
She added: “My speaking metaphorically about my own anger was a method for people to reflect on negative feelings. To normalize negative feelings. Because if you don’t, it will turn into a violent action.”
Dr. Khilanani noted that her lecture had initially been well received. After she gave it, several attendees praised her comments on the online feed.
One woman who identified herself as a Yale psychologist called it “absolutely brilliant.” A man said, “I feel very shook in a good way,” and a Black woman thanked Dr. Khilanani for giving “voice to us as people of color and what we go through all the time.”
Dr. Khilanani received her New York State medical license in 2008. Her website says that she has expertise in “seeing both the conscious and unconscious structures of racism/sexism/homophobia/classism” that allows for a safe environment when treating people from marginalized groups.
Ms. Weiss released the recording of Dr. Khilanani’s remarks at a time when many universities are debating teaching about race and racism and the limits of free speech.
Ms. Weiss also posted an interview with Dr. Khilanani by the journalist Katie Herzog.
The Yale School of Medicine said in its statement that after Dr. Khilanani’s talk, several faculty members had expressed concern about her remarks.
Based on those concerns, leaders at the School of Medicine, in consultation with the chairwoman of the Child Study Center, reviewed a recording of the talk and “found the tone and content antithetical to the values of the school,” the statement said.
Because Grand Rounds are typically posted online, the statement said, school leaders then reviewed a university report on free expression at Yale in deciding how to handle Dr. Khilanani’s lecture.
“In deciding whether to post the video, we weighed our grave concern about the extreme hostility, imagery of violence, and profanity expressed by the speaker against our commitment to freedom of expression,” the statement said.
Ultimately, school leaders decided to limit access to the video to those who could have attended the talk — the members of the Yale community.
School leaders also added a disclaimer to the video to “emphasize that the ideas expressed by the speaker conflict with the core values of Yale School of Medicine,” the statement said.
The disclaimer reads, in part: “Yale School of Medicine expects the members of our community to speak respectfully to one another and to avoid the use of profanity as a matter of professionalism and acknowledgment of our common humanity. Yale School of Medicine does not condone imagery of violence or racism against any group.”
Dr. Khilanani posted several videos on TikTok addressing what she called Yale’s “suppression of my talk on race.” In her email, she called on Yale to release the video, and she said in a phone interview that Yale should not have been surprised because “they knew the topic, they knew the title, they knew the speaker.”

I used to have a Remington 410/22 over/under for squirrel hunting when I lived in Oklahoma
I could sit down in the woods against a tree and be real quiet for about 30 minutes and then I would start to hear squirrels hear and there
if I spotted one in a tree I would make some squeaking noises and when the little feckers popped their heads up to see what it was BAM!
those were mostly red squirrels
the grays were always on the move , like fast spiders in trees , so when I spotted one of the grays , I had to use the 410 to bag one
fried squirrels and gravy hard to beat
