Thick skin.
Rabbits ar thin skinned.
So are squirrels. Iâve put as many as five shots through the chest of a squirrel with the .22 Gamo 1330 with them still clinging to life.
One similar shot and most rabbits will just roll over or shoot straight up in the air then start squealing and flipping till they expire on the ground.
Their skulls also seem particularly vulnerable.
We had a huge problem with rabbits locating up around the kennel in huge numbers for many years causing serious issues with fleas and ticks as well as keeping the dogs stirred up so some nights I would have to kill 20 or more at a time.
Rarely did it require a second shot to put them down.
Damned squirrels just seem to have a much more intense will to live, at least around here.
Rabbits are easily killed with 4 pumps of the pellet gun.
Squirrels are incredibly destructive. They chew the bark off the tree limbs on Maple and fruit trees. I catch them with a live trap, peanut butter and deport them to fox country.
Ours are even worse, theyâll eat their way into your attic and wreak havoc on wiring and of course build up enough nesting crap to cave in ceilings.
I have several dozen pecan trees that I make a good income off of so Iâm constantly at war with the little thieving bastards.
Trap the squirrels and shoot the rabbits.
The rabbits destroy the lawns and then the HOA sends you a fine.
Th squirrels killed an apple and a peach tree next door last year. @0 year to grow a fruit tree, 1 summer to kill it.
They are too smart and and their favorite food source is the Pecans even when still green.
I have a couple of cats that are very hard on them and one is actually a good hunting partner.
She points them like a birddog when she can trap them crossing the yard or when she spots them on a branch. I just have to look where sheâs pointing and shoot them.

One has to ask:
Walmart has managed to alienate and demonize Walmart shoppers. The company played to coastal elites who not only donât shop at Walmart, but donât live anywhere near one even if they wanted to. Americaâs largest and overwhelmingly liberal cities arenât blessed with a lot of Walmart Supercenters.
By banning open carry in its stores, Walmart is lending credence to the lie that all legal gun owners are dangerous.
In short, Walmart now despises Walmart shoppers.

Walmart claims that 95% of Americans shop there spending 24,500.00 per family, per year on average.
This move wonât gain them a single customer and will absolutely cost them many.
Stupid and short sighted.

I think Dollar General is giving Wal-mart a run for their money. DG believes in having a shitload of small stores selling at competitive prices.
It seems they donât have a limit on the number of stores. They just canât be closer than a mile from each other.
DG stores are popping up all over. Theyâre more convenient for a lot of people who donât want the hassle of going to a giant store and spending more time in the check out line than they do shopping.

How do you know this will cost Walmart any customers? there are many areas in the US where Walmart is the only show in town. Itâs a monopoly and has been for years. If you can back up your statement with some evidence Iâd like to read it.
There is a boycott going on against Walmart right now. Itâs for Sept. 16 thru the 23rd.
We REALLY need to organize one to hurt them during Black Friday Sales. Boycott them at the time they rely on for the bulk of their sales and let them stew over it.
Boycott from the 16th to the 23rd? Iâve banned them from my shopping locations permanently.

Itâs correct that theyâve managed to edge out competition in many small towns. Fortunately, I live in Houston so itâs cost them at least one customer. Maybe others will shop there because of their stance but I donât care. I just wonât go there.
I went there for very limited purchases - mostly ammo. Now, I wonât even be driving into their parking lot. They do have cheaper prices than most stores, but my Liberty is not for sale. If we want to make a big statement, we could change a lot of minds by impacting the worldâs biggest retailer.
If this year is very unprofitable for Walmart, it could send an unequivocal message to other smaller businesses that underestimate our buying power.

Walmartâs own numbers show that 95% of Americans are already shopping with them.
This canât do anything but cost them customers and it already is.
Thereâs nothing WW sells you cantâ get elsewhere even if you have to order online.
Simply never go back.

I would never buy an assault type weapon ( ??? ). I have my Mini 14 with the non lethal wooden stock. Those synthetic stocks scare the shit out of me.
