Hunting is very difficult, there is no death penalty in basketball. You don't need to stalk the quarterback for days before sacking him. There's no such thing as sitting in total silence just waiting for the opportunity to make a kill. It's clearly harder than you think it is.

But the squirrels, man....my God...the squirrels.
Have you ever seen a bull squirrel in full charge? They can bow-up to almost 8 inches high. And forget trying to outrun an enraged squirrel.
I had this buddy who took his Barrett .50 caliber out squirrel hunting. He spotted this massive Kodiak grey. This thing had a bite diameter of almost 2 inches!
Anyway, he was sighting in on the little bastard when all of the sudden it charged him. Having once dated a girl who's brother was a marine, my buddy new all about firing under pressure, unfortunately his first shot was wide right. By now the squirrel was only about ten yards away. He had time for one last shot. His second shot hit the squirrel right in the middle of it's head...a one in a million shot! Unfortunately, a single .50 caliber bullet from 10 yards wasn't enough to stop this rogue beast. It leapt for my buddies throat. However the added weight of the lead in it's skull offset it's center of gravity and the squirrel's jaws clamped tightly around my buddies testicles.
Park rangers found him dead from shock and loss of a will to live, the squirrel still clenching his groin in an iron death grip.
The horror....the horror....
