Hello from Mississippi, USA

Gotta say the squirrel display is something I have not seen.
Good luck with your plans to hunt in Africa.
Those little deer in the UK are certainly a draw.

Welcome to AH.

Good afternoon Shawn O’Steen,

I have noticed that people who do a lot of squirrel hunting with .22 rifles, (and/or air rifles) tend to virtually always be slapbang dead shots, with larger caliber rifles as well.

You're absolutely right about the benefits of squirrel hunting with the .22. A couple of decades ago I really wanted to improve my long distance accuracy, because I moved to a new property that offered frequent shots in the 300-400 yard range, and sometimes some odd angles, so I decided to shoot more with my .22 (it's a lot cheaper that shooting a lot with a high powered rifle), and to squirrel hunt a lot with it. My accuracy improved dramatically directly as a result of that.
