Buck shot for rabbits & cats???

[magnumwheelman]

thought this funny... I was bouncing around Midway & saw this buck shot ammo from Sellier & Bellot... pictures for the "game" you would shoot with this 00 Buck on the box

note the pictures on the box ( & yes... I can guess that it's probably a fox, & not a kitty cat... but it does look like a scared kitty with it's tail puffed up )

those eastern block bunnies must be tough as heck, if it takes 00 buck to stop them... the wussy little bunnies we have around my place will die just from the report of the shotgun if you're close enough

Sometimes a guy just doesn't feel compelled to screw around... I can report with contented satisfaction that a Federal Target load will virtually vaporize a red squirrel at 12 feet. After the shot all is blissfully quiet and peaceful, save for the barely perceptible pitter-patter of red mist and tiny bits of twig and bone raining down upon dry leaf litter.

Dang Paden....don't like squirrels huh!?

European hares are very big, I grew up chasing them in the fields of Germany as a kid so I'm familiar with their size, but it's been quite a few years since my last contact.
I was in Finland last year for a shooting match and we came across one in town at a park at night. Originally one of my US companions thought it was a fawn deer, from the size. So I could easily see where buckshot wouldn't be outside the realm of useful.

Hey Paden, we have a bounty on red squirrels at camp. Most damaging little varmints around. Farmers Insurance needs to do a commercial using them.
