Think about where that big bore rifle ball is traveling to. Once shot in the air upward. It has to come back down. Same as a 22.
Just something to think about.
Nope, never been tempted. I'll will ease my rifle up and get em in the crosshairs without them seeing me and barking. It's a little entertainment I guess.

Well I have never thought about it. I’ve had squirrels run up trees telling me they just seen something. Sometimes it’s a deer.
Deer know squirrels eat acorns and they may come around.
Squirrels are the watch dogs of the woods.
In younger days, I killed my first handgun deer while sitting in my stand gathering those noise-makers up pre-rut. 22 rifle in my hand and .357 on my hip...
No but a lot of times I will take a 22 rifle with some shorts in it and wax a few. Shorts are really quiet in a rifle. But only after I get a couple of deer in the freezer.
Remember, there are restrictions on the type of weapon you can use on squirrels, so using that larger caliber deer rifle would be unlawful. Heck, if you're that easily irritated in the woods, you might want to take up another sport.
Imagine your referring to the grey squirrels. As a relative newcomer to the south I must say the fox squirrel has to be about the coolest animal in the woods. No two look alike and they sure have a personality.
I have, long time ago in Michigan's U.P.. Blew away a Red Squirrel at the end of the log i sitting on. He sat there for a good 10 mins telling the whole world i was there. Haven't done it since.
