Grey squirrels are one tough animal; to get an immediate kill without having the wounded squirrel run off you need to hit the squirrel right between its' eyes which is not so easy to do.
Anyone know what the legal ramifications are for doing this. Is it legal to fire off a bullet at a squirrel from your yard or from an open window because it makes a big sound just like a handgun firing a bullet and getting in trouble with the police for this could be a lot more trouble than it's worth.

I would say that if your shooting Gray Squirrels YOU ARE POACHING! I would think some heavy fines could be placed upon you.
