I've been hunting for 58 years. I started hunting squirrels with a 410 single shot. I don't remember my first squirrel, but I remember my brother's. He is 4 years my junior, and he snuck my shotgun and two shells out of the house at 9 years old and went hunting. When he cocked the gun, he had to fire it because he didn't have the strength to uncock it. He waited with a cocked gun for the squirrels to sit still and brought two home. We padlocked the gun after that.
