Ground squirrels. These little fuckers.
For a few years I had a little BB pistol that was at the higher end of muzzle speed... like 500fps IIRC... that would typically do the trick to take these things out if I hit them inside of 30-40 feet. Though admittedly sometimes it just stunned them and they'd give me a pissed off look. That broke last year, and the ground squirrels are back... what's a good solution that won't draw complaints from the neighbors? Pellets? Rifle of some sort? An actual low-key firearm?
I figure that whatever I get, the 11 year old showed a decent bit of judgement with the BB pistol in the past few years, so I'd probably let him have it as well.
