Default ARGH! Those Pesky Squirrels!

Went out today and saw a good bit of squirrels but my goodness, I couldn't get a good clean shot at them! They are so damn fast and swing from branch to branch like a bunch of monkeys!! I got played today!

I was using the scoped Marlin 22 LR and I'm just wondering if I need to go with a shot gun instead? I shot my first squirrel with a 20 gauge shot gun but that is my son's gun. I also shot and killed a squirrel with the 22 last week though but it was pretty close, on the side of a tree. I have a 16 gauge here and a friend of my hubby's just dropped off a 12 gauge pump.

I'm cool with the 16 gauge but wonder if a 12 gauge is too much for those lil rascals or is it all good?

If you guys had to choose, would you go with a scoped 22 or a shot gun? I need some help/tips killing these damn squirrels! I swear, they're laughing at me! <You guys probably are too>

I'm going to go back out on Thursday, very early... like wake up the woods early!
