Mine was a ground sqirrel at 123 yards with a Crown .22 with either a JSB 18.13 or a H&N Terminator. Topped a small rise in an alfalfa field and just had to try the shot. Wind slight from right to left and sunny, held off at edge of body took an educated wag for elevation and squeezed off the shot. Seemed forever for the pellet to arive and the sqirrel folded and then put up the surrender flag. But what made truly memorable was in seconds a Red Tailed hawk was on it. That gave me a good distance measuring target. The Hawk, I take was male as we became hunting buddies in the next few days. Every time I showed in his world he would sit in a nearby power pole waiting for a meal and take the first two or so to his mate sitting on a nearby nest, then get his meal.
. A friend has a large property with starlings and when he shoots them the redtails come swooping in sometimes grabbing them before they hit the ground! Very cool sight.
