A rabbit/hare won't go down with a 22 LR.

Sure they will but probably not right away unless hit in the head or
the spine.

Â*Â* Squirrels too . Unless you get a head or upper spine shot they
ain't hangin' around . I've seen them drag themselves off and claw
their way up a tree with their back legs totally dead . I have
declared war on the local squirrel population , they are apparently
the major destroyers of my tomato patch .I figger if I kill all the
ones that know there's a bounty there , the better chance the few
tomatoes left will have a chance . There are still a lot of blossoms
... and they too deserve a chance . TOMATO LIVES MATTER !


Death to squash bugs!
Death to earwigs!
Death to squirrels ???

Can you plow them under for fertilizer?


Â* I could , but I'd rather leave them out in the woods for the
carrion-eaters .


And you don't risk the carrion eater digging them up either.

Coyotes are amazing at cleaning up dead animals.
