SportingShooter 0 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Would have become an adult soon enough, personally if it was on the shoot land, I would have knocked it on the head somehow, but certainly wouldn't have picked it up! Don't fancy Squirrels teeth in my hand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
