Gauges for SQUIRREL HUNTING

[Lilred]

Good que TMR,
I would say the 410 or even the 16. The only thing I never really like bout the 410 is that they never seem to hold a pattern over 30-40 yards. That's just been my experience, and some might be able to give arguement to that.
When them squirrels are sittin wayyyy at the top of an old oak...esp with leaves still on the trees, I wouldnt see where a 410 would do ya a whole lotta good. (Again, just my opinion, and others might have had better luck w/ that gauge than me.)

The 20 is a great gauge fer em, and even the 16. I can say that I've never hunted w/ a 28 gauge. I've shot em a few times, but I dont think I've fooled w/ em enuf to give even a half-educated opinion on em.
