If you want homemade, go to Tractor Supply. Get a couple of electric fence posts and a bag of castration bands. Band them together 19-12” from the end. Spread them apart to use them. The pointed end will keep it steady. Aa couple friends had these when we went shooting ground squir.

If you’re willing to let someone with no experience shoot your gun, you are asking. For problems. Hopefully you don’t get one but it’s probably going to happen.

For those of you who eat the squirrels you shoot, check out this video. https://nextdoor.com/p/W7bgh4ktmmfj?utm_source=share&slp=&share_platform=1&extras=MjMzMDMxNDQ%3D

I’m glad I don’t have to handle the ground squirrels. Here in California they are known to carry the fleas that cause bubonic plague. I don’t get a where near them. I’m not shooting on a farm. The owner/foreman haven’t said the coyotes aren’t doing any damage other than critter clean up...

Wire coat hangers bent into the shape of a bird and a garbage bag tape to it has worked. There’s a video online. Mojo dove decoys work on the Eurasian doves

I eat the Eurasian dives and turkeys. I have a permission where I shoot starlings and ground squirrels. The owner is ok with me leaving them where they’re shot. Coyotes and other critters will take care of them

A fun way to spend the day and make some money.

I had a Donny Sumo on an.22 Taioan Mutant shooting 15.9 JSB pellets at 966 fps and a Donny Rodin on a .25 Taipan Vet shooting 25.4 pellets at 8.40 fps. Both were quiet but I got tired of the soup can look at the end of the barrels. I put an Atom on the Mutant and a Belitta on the Vet. Both...

One of the cheapest and best pellets I found were the Daisy .22 wadcutters. Shot them out of my Prod. They were super accurate out to about 40 yards. They were less than $5 a tin. They got discontinued and the closet thing I’ve found to them is the H&N FTT 14.66

I got a Taipan Mutant in .22. Liked it so much, I got a Veteran in .25. Both are super accurate

I’m using crosman CO2 cartridges and Crosman Destroyer X pellets. I get 24 good shots from a cartridge. I e used it to kill jackrabbits and ground squirrels out to 20 yards.
