	Tree Squirrels are very good eating. ground Squirrels on the other hand are well known for carrying various unhealthy to human diseases out this way. Those we shot by the hundreds always having an unlimited supply that a local cattle rancher in the hill country wanted eliminated. There uncontrollable population in turn attracted a very large on the ranch community of Coyotes. It was a real nice and private hunting paradise while it lasted and for about six years. Doves we're also very plentiful at the time with daily limits easy to achieve and there were always a few local Deer hanging out at the place. JLouis

	Those ground squirrels were fun. Especially shooting them running between burrows.

	Amen Bob Z and there were so many I would take my reloading equipment and set it up in the horse barn / shop for the after lunch time shoot. We would head up that way every weekend from about March to September when Dove season would then start. It would then typicaly give the young enough time to reproduce and fatten up for the next years shoot. Was not unusual to go through 200 rounds each for the two of us or real close it for every one day outing and more than enough until the next weekend came around. Man those were indeed the good old days when looking back. JLouis

	Joe, You saying you never heard of a gal that likes squirrel better than she does chicken? ;

	I'm thinking the ones who prefer squirrel are likely better shots, and may not fill the game with bb's when an opportunity presents itself.

Not sure I want one that eats squirrel sitting in my lap. Joe. You probably wouldn't mind one who's feeling a little squirrelly sitting on your lap! JS

	For an old-timey photo from back in the days when folks weren't used to smiling in them, that feller almost looks like he's cracking a grin.

	BP, Some folks natural expression is a smile. People on job sites used to ask me what I was so happy about. Occasionally some one will walking in public, but usually someone who saw me more that just passing by. Maybe he is one of the lucky few that wakes up in a good mood every morning?

	Bob Z I always woke up with a good reasons to have a smile on my face, still alive, always having an enjoyable job to head to and being extremely blessed and thankful.

	The Late Great Paul Harvey reported very few people wake up in a good mood everyday for a week.
