I, and most people I know, were taugh to shoot around 5 as well as being taught firearms safety around then. Also they’re typically going to eat the squirrels so it’s not just for the heck of it, but sometimes they do just need culling anyway if they’re tearing stuff up.

🤷‍♀️ I don’t get how it’s that crazy. I’m not into tree rat but some people like it.
