Why not, you don't eat the heads do you? And just so you know, a 22 mag won't "blow their heads off."
I see you are talking from ALOT of experience since your dads friend has one
Maybe when your older than 13, and have a few years of experience under your belt you can comment again. [8D]

OK MOSBERGMAN11,
YOU CAN USE THE 22 MAG ON THE SQUIRREL AND RABBITS,
I OWN 2, MAGS. MY DAD OWNS 1, IM 29 AND HAVE BEEN HUNTING WITH MINE SINCE THE AGE OF 4.
I HAVE TAKEN MANY SQUIRREL WITH MY MAG WITH A HEADSHOTS THE ONLY BAD THING IS IF YOU HIT A HAIR OFF YOU BLOW THE SH*T OUT OF THE SHOULDER BEYOND EATABLE LOL,
I HAVE USED MY .22 MAG IN THE PAST TO TAKE DOWN EVERY ANIMAL I CAN HUNT HERE ON THE EAST COAST, FROM TURKEY TO A 8 POINT BUCK,
WITH THE OLD 40GR HP I WILL DROP ANY ANIMAL WITH THAT GUN IF THE SHOT IS PLACED CORRECT, WE HAVE KILLED FOX, COONS,DEER,RABBITS,TURKEY,BOBCATS, EXT,
WITH THAT BEING SAID ,
I WOULD RECOMEND THE PLAIN22 USING THE CB BULLETS FOR SQUIRRELS AND RABBITS,
I TAKE MY KIDS NOW TO AREAS I DEER HUNT AND I DONT WANT TO BE MAKING LOTS OF NOISEWITH THE BIGGER GUNS AND KILL THE HECK OUT OF THEM,
JUST ONE THING!!!! IF YOU SHOOT THE SQUIRRELS IN THE TREES WITH THE .22 MAG OR 22 MAKE SURE YOU SHOT THEMWHEN YOUR BULLET WILL HIT THE TREE BEHIND THE SQUIRREL JUST TO BE SAFE

I've killed a full grown cow with a 22 longrifle, i would assume it would be much easier to drop a deer with the .22 magnum. Dunno aobut the legality of the latter though.

how could you kill a deer with a .22 magnum?
how could you kill a deer with a .22 magnum?
the same you would with any gun.
like i said in the post its all about shot placement,
was it leagle? probely not , but did i do it ? you bet i did.
times were different about 10 years ago i did what i had to do to put food on the table , altho i did kill all my deer in the woods not out of a car,
also i would squirrel hunt and if a deer came past me the mans property i hunted on had crop damage permits and we could kill 30 a year and we did every year all witht the .22 mag,.
