Default Your favorite for squirrels

What rifles/shotguns are your favorites for squirrels???
What calls/methods are your favorite???

I personally enjoy using .177 air rifles with pointed pellets and taking jack russel terriers. Otherwise I take a bolt action .410, or a .22 lr.

GOTTA LOVE THAT MARLIN MAGIC!!!!

I use a Remington 1100 for squirrels. I use a bark call to find them from long distances. Then when I am up close I make a clicking noise with my mouth, it works all right.

nothing beats following a good tree dog looking for squirrels, I raise feist dogs and they normally go about 100 or so yrds and tree the squirrel then you walk up and look for it to shoot, kinda like coonhunting during the day. I like using a 22 when the leaves are off and a 410 when the leaves are on
