Or just a good ol' rifle.
BTW, all these were shot without moving so much as my big toe. Three boys and a girl.

I really need to get a .22, they’re definitely superior for meat loss, but I kinda have this vibe about owning one gun to do it all and Ive always thought Seamus McFly is core af and he hunted small game with a shotgun.Or just a good ol' rifle.

That’s called buck fever.
Pat Durkin just wrote an article on its dangers! 
Buck Fever Can Kill You
If your knees don’t knock and your pulse doesn’t pound as a buck slips into range, maybe it’s time you quit deer hunting. As Aldo Leopold wrote: “The love of hunting is almost a physiological characteristic. I should not like to own the boy whose hair does not lift his hat when he sees his first...

Steel sucks for squirrels. Can you use lead or is it one of the IL DNR spots that require non-toxic shot? I hate those.I’m using Kent upland fasteel #5’s.
The ones I missed were at 30ish yards so maybe that’s too far for the shotgun?
I’m using the full choke, my guns only got a 22” barrel so maybe that has some affect on the range
Beware the man who shoots but one gun.
I grew up squirrel hunting with a shotgun and did a bit of it here in N IL as most sites here are shotgun only but now I take the .22 out when allowed on the site. This is gonna sound dumb, but I find using a scoped .22 for squirrels good practice for target acquisition and for standing shot fundamentals/finding a rest for hunting out west. I feel like we don't have a chance to do alot of that kind of stuff hunting here in IL.

A longer barrel is easier to lead and hold steady. A shorter barrel is more maneuverable in tight quarters.I’m using the full choke, my guns only got a 22” barrel so maybe that has some affect on the range

This thread has me thinking I need to go squirrel hunting in the next few days. I will take a 22 - either a Marlin 39A or a CZ 452 FS.

I have vernier sight envy but I just can’t get myself to drill and tap for one.

Most 39a's are drilled and tapped for one at the factory. This one was in 1951 (it's an "H"). 1.125" on centers for hole spacing.

You can’t post photos like this without telling us what ingredients are in your recipe other than squirrels, red onions, and crescent roll dough.

Get the extra large rolls or use 2 per roll up.
