Mrs Farmer and i were just chillin' in the living room when a young fox squirrel came walking in. He went behind the corner cabinet to hide. She said she had heard a few slight noises through the day and she had the door open for a time. I had a good pellet rifle in the house, but no pellets. Looking frantically in the Stable, i found some .22 birdshot in the tool box. Probably 30 years old. I test fired one and it seemed a little loud. I figured it was time to go with what ya got. When i got back inside, we saw him peek out a bit,and decided to close off the rest of the downstairs, just leaving the large kitchen and the living room. Mrs farmer stayed on the couch and i just outside the doorway for two sets of eyes. Now Mr Squirrel was coming out more often and flitting about faster each time. Finally, he started to line up with my position, but shooting a fixed power 6X scoped rifle would not be easy as it was a blurry outline. I just kept waiting for a decently safe time to shoot finally he sort of charged my position and the flashlight I held under the forearm froze him for a second. Pow! and it was so over. Not a twitch from the little guy and no blood at all .Range to target was about 2 yards Best of all, no damages to anything in the house or persons either. Quite a thrill was had by all. Fortunately the carpet in the living room took care of the loudness of the rifle. As Jeff Foxworthy would say," you know you are a redneck whn you go huntin' in the living room."...
