2016 Squirrel Hunt With A 410 Bantam

Nice, I've been busy working on my parents garage and haven't made it out yet. The .410 worked well. What was your distance on them and your load?
How do you prepare them to eat?
 
I will do about three of em, quartering them up. I also enjoy roasting the garlic first and with the tree rat.
I let it cook longer in the tomatoes, they can be tough at times.
let me know if you give it a try

I made 10 yards to 30 yards shots. The 30 yard shots was to the top of the ponderosa pines which took a couple of shots to drive them out for a clean shot. I was using very expensive 3in Federals.410 Shells.jpg
