Squirrels

Maybe our Missouri squirrels are tougher....or just smart enough not to let me get too close. I use either a 16 or 12 gauge, loaded with high brass #4's. When they are up high in the oaks and hickorys, I still only get 4 or 5 pellets to hit.

When I used #6's, I'd find pellets just under the skin that hadn't penetrated well.

A .410 wouldn't do the job where I hunt.
