I just had a feeling it might be a Winchester.
Most common.
True but it was the Annie Oakley image that made me think of it. VBG
giggles I'm not a bad shot, but no Annie Oakley. ;-)
OK, Calamity Jane then.
...It hits with explosive force. You should see what it does to to a
prairie dog at 100 yards. You shoot a squirrel with that, there
won't be enough left of it to skin and cook. Squirrel is good eating
so yes, I do use either a BB gun or .22 for them and bunnies.
Remember, AR-15's are used for hunting Terrorist humans.
This particular one tho' is a hunting rifle. Not law enforcement or army:

And here I thought Bushmaster was either a cucumber or a snake.
lol No, it's a very good brand of firearm. A lot of PD's use that
brand in carbines. [...]
I'm getting a real education here. My dad would be very impressed.
I've eaten lots of game since my dad and uncles were all hunting
devotees, but I've never liked squirrel.
Flavor or texture? Just curious. I do respect individual tastes.
But of course, my squirrels are grain fed. g They eat the hen scratch
I put out for my pigeons.
Must be all those bitter acorns and black walnuts (which I've always
detested).
The cukes are still doing well.... I just can't believe it.
Glad your garden is doing well. :-) I'm getting a bumper crop of
Petins, most of which will be fed to the Cockatoo. She needs the vitamin
C.
You know... our parrot (blue-fronted Amazon), Wilbur, also loved chile
peppers. I gave him to a girl at the pet store, who was dying to have a
parrot of her own, when my work schedule was too intense to give him
adequate attention. I miss him a lot. She just loved him so much.
Unfortunately, Wilbur hated men--- bit the hell out of poor Mr. Bill.
We drove to Louisiana (MO) yesterday and came back with three more
standard plum trees--- a Shiro, Starking Delicious, and a Damson. Mr.
Bill got two planted today; he had to remove two very old redbuds which
was a huge chore. Can't believe we actually got them into the car! We
still have not found a potted standard Montmorency. I guess he'll have
to order a whip from Miller. Hardly anyone carries the standard anymore.
