caller, I looked up and spotted a single crow just silently looking around trying to fi gure out what was going on. I knew better than to give him a chance to fi gure things out and I quickly placed a shot at the juncture of his neck and shoulder. Twenty-two shots and twenty-two dead crows; it defi nitely was time to quit. Although the second day produced only four crows, I still was elated with the outcome. My constant vigilance of the pecan
trees allowed the squirrels, ’coons, and me to harvest a marginally decent crop of pecans. The day after the fi nal crow shooting there were three squirrels mer- rily picking and devouring their hard- shelled treasures from one young and small pecan tree. You could see and feel their excitement as they quickly plucked a pecan and then raced down the tree to bury it or take the treat back to their den. Of course, they weren’t above tak- ing one for a snack every now and then. No longer did they have to compete with the crows for their bounty. Life was good and the squirrels and ’coons would survive until life began anew in
the spring, thanks to the quiet effi ciency offered by the suppressed 10/22 rifl e.
