“The flesh is sweeter, where the creature has some chance for its life; for that reason, I always use a single ball, even if it be at a bird or a squirrel; besides, it saves lead, for, when a body knows how to shoot, one piece of lead is enough for all, except hard-lived animals.” IfsKnowsHardReasonEnoughUseBodyChanceAnimalKnow HowPiecesCreaturesBirdBallsFleshHuntingOne PieceSquirrels Author:James F.
