    I would go with a small fixed blade. For squirrels I would personally use a varmint tip.

    Coyotes and cats, 1" fixed blade. Easy to put them down and low pelt damage

    I'd use my slick trick standards on the cats and dogs and a rubber blunt on squirrels. A solid hit on a tree with a rubber blunt will ruin an arrow but but might save one that has a glancing hit and can will help keep the arrow from slipping under the grass

    Hmm?
    Just shoot a rage.
    On second thought, they may not fully penetrate a squirrel

    Maybe the Cold Steel Cheap Shot would make a good varmint head.

    I don't think I could bring myself to shoot them at deer.

    A Magnus Bullhead does a number on them. He was safe the first to times he sat and barked at me from 20 yards. He shouldn't have come back the third. :bow:
