need2hunt Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Just depends what your more comfortable with. If I'm going specifically for squirrels I like to take my 22 with scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhunter91 Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Re: squrill...sry..cant spell it Any size shotguns is fine.. Just use some #6's or smaller ( ie #7 1/2 or #8 ).. Any rimfire is cool too. A .22 mag or .22lr is fun for sniping, so is a .17HMR or .17HM2. Just depends on what you have and what you are most comfortable with.

Tominator Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Re: squrill...sry..cant spell it Just be careful with a .22 as shooting a bullet in the air can be hazardous. That little bullet can travel a long ways if you miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Re: squrill...sry..cant spell it A little light load of 7 1/2's with a 12 would be fine. Doesn't tear them up too bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M00N Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Re: squrill...sry..cant spell it I hunt squirrel with a .410 and #6 load. Doesn't tear them up hardly at all, doesn't kick hardly at all, and is light to carry around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fourtrax_300 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Re: squrill...sry..cant spell it yes a a air rifle will kill one but with it's best to shoot them in the head. the easiest thing to hunt with is a shotgun of corse and most people use .410 or 20ga. some do use 12ga my friends does and shoots 2 3/4 7/8 oz 6 shot and it does about the same as my 20ga does. i have found it funner to hunt with a .22. if you want put a scope on it but if not it's a challange and makes it fun. a 22 mag, and .17 hmr will tear them up too bad . they have for me anyways.

Shaun_300 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Re: squrill...sry..cant spell it I've killed them with anything from a .22 to a .308. Practiacally speaking, if you're a good shot with a .22 or other rimfire gun, they work great on squirrels. A shotgun works pretty good on them too, I usually try my best to aim for the head when using the shotgun. As for a pellet gun, it will kill them, usually on the first shot if you hit them right in the head. Sometimes you have to do a follow up shot to finish them off though. It really all depends on what you are most comfortable shooting. Find a gun that you like shooting, and are good at shooting at, and use that.

arrow32 Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Re: squrill...sry..cant spell it I like to use the 12 gauge that way i know i get them. But going with the .22 sometimes isnt bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fourtrax_300 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Re: squrill...sry..cant spell it yeah when using a shotgun most people make the mistake of shooting for the middle of the body which puts most of your shot in his hind end so what you want to do is put your bead on his head that way your shot is hitting the head and chest area.
