I wonder how similar squirrels are to shooting Aussie possums? The possum might be a bit larger in body size for an adult. Shot a "hundred" once with a Kangaroo Island farmer on his farm under pest destruction permit. But by spotlight. With a .22 RF. No shortage of possums, the place had far too many. Didn't try eating them though.

Has any Aussies or Kiwis on here tried eating possum?

By spotlight of course their eyes shine so head shooting isn't that difficult. The farmer did expect one dead squirrel per .22 round however which was a bit difficult.

Shooting a squirrel only in the head during the day, would require some fine shooting wouldn't it? Their heads are smaller than a rabbits? Or is the brain area a similar size? What sort of range, 25 yards, 50 yards?
