OK, so I'm looking to pick the brains of the INGO experience pool.
Here's the scenario: set up in a great spot for deer, and then 1 or more squirrels make a ruckus and won't go away. I'd love to just pop 'em with a little .22, but do not want to carry a rifle in addition to deer hunting gear.
So, I'm thinking .22 handgun of some kind...something good enough to off a squirrel, but not so powerful that it makes cleaning said treerat a waste of time. If I'm going to shoot 'em, I want to at least get to eat 'em.
I'd love to see what INGO can come up with that fits these criteria:
1. As reliable as possible--yes, I know there are limits due to the whole .22 aspect.
2. As accurate as possible--for a handgun, NOT rifle.
3. As inexpensive as possible--I don't feel like putting a ton of cash into something I'd only use/need a few times a year.
4. As easily carried as possible--though weight isn't really a big issue (I'm a big guy), overall size might be, depending on the season and weather. Yes, I realize small size potentially reduces accuracy...
So with all that, what would INGO suggest? What would you carry out into the woods, and why?
