	All this talk of squirrel cooking prompts me to ask;  What about
squirrel hunting?

	My daughter would like me to take her squirrel hunting.  Lovely idea
to me except that I've never been squirrel hunting.  There is a huntable are
nearby which has plenty of tree squirrels so that's not a problem.

	Any recommendations with regard to gun choice?  I have a .22 rifle and a
16ga shotgun as well as numerous handguns.  I'd preferr to use the .22,  but 
would the shotgun work better?

	If I do use the .22,  does a .22 short have enough oomph to cleanly
kill the squirrel yet not so much distance that I'm raining down on folks 2
ridges over?

	Any other hints for the nimrod?

	Thanks in advance,
	Dave Ambrose

         Don't blame DRI.  They wouldn't approve of this anyway.
