Greenwood's Squirrel H anting
A-wh'eel-Oud for whnlmni.
.Kirk Greenwood tells In (Jamelanil
how hé went squirrel hunting last fall .
on a bicycle, with a 22-cá Ubre rifle. Ho
carried the weapon on his vheel's up-
per bar,'over the handle bars, or carttltie
fashion on his back. He got gray and
black squirrels OU Long1 island, Staten
Island, and over In New Jersey. He also
killed a im~miM "u d'"gBta -bi«L.
The" rifle was a repeater, but some per-
sona out for sport only would much
rather have a target pistol With a barret
a foot long. Such a weapon ia much "■
easier to carry. It requires greater skill j
to use; however. ' y /
