I have squirrel hunted since I was 7 yrs old, (not as much lately),
I started out as a kid using a bolt action 410 shotgun, that I dont even know what ever happened to it.
I killed ,probly, 100s of squirrel with it.
Even after I got home from from a stint with uncle sam, I still used it,
Then came the kids, homeowning, raising family, didnt get to hunt much.
Then about 20 years ago I started hunting tree rats with a .22 single shot rifle, which I no longer have either.
Then about 10 years ago I tried hunting them with a .22 pistol, and found that I could also hit them with a good pistol, at closer range , which is harder . letting them come in close.
Last few years Ive gotten half blind, and now,when I go to the woods for squirrel, I have taken afew with this little , inexpensive .22 shooter.

I might go back to to a410, if I start coming home without dinner.
