well let me tell you, there was this squirrel once when I was hunting them with my TC 22lr, it was perched and looking straight at me, chirping his head off at me while I was trying to sit quietly and get's his bigger brother come to the other side of the tree. He was so close at 15 feet he angered me so I yanked the M29 and heavy SWC and turned him into a bloody, furry sock with holes at each end. Such a mess it was! That's one time I had to mull my M29 in anger!
